Car Overheated, Bad Radiator, Need Advice Please

Postby MikeFlynn » Thu Apr 07, 2011 4:41 pm

Hello everyone.

First of all, I hope I've posted this in the correct section. Forgive me If I haven't. I'm ok with it being moved to its correct forum section if need be.

Anyways, I own a 06 Nissan Pathfinder. This car has been great to me since I purchased it used from a buddy just over a year ago. It's fulfilled its job quite well, while sparing me any headache. However, just yesterday my car overheated on me. When I got home I inspected its radiator and found that this part was to blame. It showed signs of leakage and a majority of the fins were severely bent. I know that replacement is my only option at this point, but before I do so, I'd like some advice. I've decided to purchase an aftermarket version online, but don't know which companies are reputable. I've found two that I particularly like but before I buy from one of them, I'd like some sort of verification that they are a legitimate business. I almost never buy anything online so I don't know how to spot a scam, and I can't afford to be scammed.

Has anyone dealt with either of the following companies and can verify that they are a legitimate company? The parts on each site match the OEM number of the part I need.. Thanks in advance.

Just for fun I checked the website out. I'm not a fan of the robo-chat thing :?

But Mr. Roboto said he could get me a Pathfinder radiator between $99 and $299 before I closed the window...

Hello buddy..
Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Instead of purchasing online better consult some service stations for better advice and replace of the fault items. Since i didn't faced such problems before i couldn't suggest you exact solution.
