radiator was replaced	Sign In

I have a 1995 Ford tauas 3.0 engine, 2 months ago I had taken my car in for my oil pan to be replaced and was told by the mechanic my radiator needed to be replaced. They told me they replaced it with a new one whih cost me 180.00. On my way home the engine light came on and I called the mechanic was told not to worry the hose might need to be tighted but when I had gotten home anti freeze was all over my drive way. Then the told me most likely I needed a new thermastat which was replaced but that did not resolve the problem. Then I found out they put a radiator in from the junk yard and not a new one. I had that replaced to be told my car still isn't running right and I needed a water pump but that didn't resolve the problem. Then was told it had to be my head gaskets so they replaced that and now my car is running like garbage still. Befor all this work was done my engine was running very smooth they can't seen to get the radiator to run right the hose stays hard. Can you please give me any sugestions.

My advice would be to take it somewhere else. From your end of the story they are not checking up on their work and just throwing a bunch of stuff at it.
