Thumbs up

These guys were the cheapest when I used them.
They do a free pick up, repair and drop off again same day service in Metro Area.

$220 for replacement of the plastic, hot side end tank, new O-Ring and minor leak repair, plus flush, pressure test and respray of my 99 WRX radiator.

Highly Recommended

Gavin at lakeside is fairly good...Joondalup.

Matt at Natrad (Joondalup Radiator Service) Is well priced and a good radman!

If you get your radiator done because it is leaking you should really replace the "top" (right hand) radiator tank too. Over time/heat cycles the plastic the tank is made of becomes brittle and can snap off at the top hose outlet and the small outlet heading to the header tank.

Agreed with the above comment. I have seen 3 plastic hot side end tanks split vertically just under the hot side hose inlet on a 99 WRX radiator.

I would also recommend replacing the factory radiator hoses with silicon items if your car is a daily driver. Mine split at around 35,000 km
