Aluminum radiators, oil coolers, trans coolers and thermostats, installed and properly bled at your driveway. The unglamorous upgrades that let the fun ones live.
One flat number before any work starts, and it does not move after. Prefer to talk? Call or text 647-450-0406. I read texts between jobs.
Takes 30 seconds. Paste the product link if you have it, that is what makes the number exact. The next screen shows real windows you can book yourself.
Cooling is the least Instagrammed corner of a build and the one that decides whether the rest survives summer. A tuned engine makes more heat, an automatic towing anything cooks its fluid, and a track day finds every weakness in a ten-year-old radiator. The parts are affordable and the install is honest wrench work I already do on the repair side constantly.
The part people underestimate is the last twenty minutes: filling and burping the system so there are no air pockets. An air pocket reads fine on the driveway and overheats on the highway. I bleed it properly, verify temps, and only then call it done.
| Install | Flat labour | Time | The details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminum performance radiator | $250–$400 | 2 to 3h | Same job as my repair-side radiator swaps, with a better core going in. |
| Oil cooler (sandwich plate kits) | $200–$350 | 2 to 3h | Lines routed and secured away from heat and moving parts. |
| Transmission cooler | $200–$350 | 2 to 3h | The right move on anything that tows. Pairs naturally with a hitch install. |
| Low-temperature thermostat | $120–$250 | 1 to 2h | Common tune-support item on turbo platforms. |
| Electric fan or shroud | Quote per car | varies | Per car, wiring done with a relay, not off a whim. |
Every price is flat install labour, you supply the part, and the number for your exact car is agreed before any work starts. "Quote per car" means the platform honestly decides the price, send the link and the car and you get the number the same day. Planning more than one? Stack your list in the estimator and see the running total. Prices also live in the open dataset mods-install-rates.json.
If the car is tuned and sees sustained hard use, a track day, a long pull, a July commute in traffic with the AC working, oil temperature is the number that quietly climbs. A sandwich-plate cooler is cheap insurance. For a stock daily driver, honestly, usually not, and I will tell you that instead of selling you one.
That is the job, not an extra. I fill with the correct coolant spec, bleed using whatever procedure the platform needs, run it to temperature with the heater on and watch the gauge before I leave. A cooling install that has not been verified at temperature is not finished.
Whatever your engine specifies, which matters more than people think. Mixing chemistries turns coolant into sludge. If you supply the parts, supply the spec coolant too, or tell me the car and I will tell you exactly which jug to buy before I arrive.
One flat number the same day, installed at your driveway across Mississauga, Oakville, Milton, Brampton and Etobicoke.
