Re: Radiator Failure

If you notice, I never asked a question. The purpose of my original post was to tell my story. I don't know. I suppose my point was to show that blank happens to all of us. I've sure we've all been here. If not, your time will come.

I did have an anti-freeze jug full of water, but it wasn't enough. The sink in the Target bathroom was too small for a 1 gallon jug to fit under the faucet. 87 cents is not bad for water in the desert! Honestly, why penny pinch? Do you realize how much more effort/time it would take to find a garden hose somewhere? A tow would have cost ~$150. Which we don't have until payday. I would have preferred that plan.

After careful analysis, my wife and I agreed buying the water was the best plan. Does anyone know of a good radiator repair shop in the Phoenix metro area? Preferably in the east valley? If a repair is more cost effective than a new radiator, that would be best.

Regards,
Mike
