    Default Radiator shop in/near COS?

    Wife came home from work last evening, complaining of a 'hissing sound' from the front of our Pilot: it appears there's a small hole in the very bottom/front of the radiator of our 2012 Honda Pilot.

    I'm looking for someone reputable to look at it to find out what repair/replacement options there are, somewhere in or near COS preferably.

    Thanks!

    You can order a new radiator for less then $150. I just looked on Rock Auto. Order new cap, hoses and be done with it.
    I've had two or three radiators repaired and never had a happy ending.

    For the most part repairing radiators is a thing of the past. It's almost always cheaper to just replace it.

    Yep, straight away replacement is the only good choice IMO. It will be cheaper and faster in the long run. They’re not hard to swap either...

    I always ordered from Radiator Barn. It's been a few years though.

    I've used Manley Radiator Service in the springs before with good luck.

    This, used them for a radiator & heater core refurb on my 1950 Willys.
    But like others have said, new replacement will probably be the way to go.
