So as some of you may know, I've been having an oil leak issue and an overheating issue. Found out it was my oil pan seal and a hole in my radiator. It's going to cost me $450 to have the new radiator installed, the engine dropped and the oil pan seal replaced. This includes the price of the oil pan gasket and all labor, but not the price of the radiator. Is this a good price?

I would say that's a terrific price, considering what's involved in replacing the oil pan gasket alone.

if they were going to throw in a new Rad it would be another story but for just the labor and seal/gasket thats a lot.

Thats fair price. A new rad is like 150 bucks, if he threw that in, he would be killing himself on labor! Assuming your tech has a regular labor rate 50-75hr, your right on point, even a bit on the cheaper side i would gather..
