Cost of changing a Thermostat? 1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe?

The thermostat housing is visible from the top of the engine. If I had the right fricken socket for the nuts i'd do it myself and be done in about 10 minutes. I am going to get a pro to do it though. What do you all think the charge would be? I'm getting an OEM thermostat and gasket from Advanced Auto Parts.

You don't need a pro to do change a thermostat. It's like hiring a pro to change a light bulb.



Buy or borrow the right socket, put a drain pan underneath, open the thermostat housing, and replace the old. A new thermostat is only $15, a shop would charge you $60 or more to have it done.

It will probably cost about $75.00
most shops are $85 an hour especially when YOU bring the parts
