    What is a fair price for heater core replacement?

    i was quoted clear up to $1500 (just the heater core R&R) ended up going with a local shop for $600+/- and i am glad i did because the first heater core had a manufacturing defect and they had to put a second in (at no cost to me).

    I just didn't have time to do the heater core so I took it to a local shop in town, kind of glad I did because the first heater core they put in wouldn't get hot and they had to pull the whole thing out again.
