Icon2 03 Accord Thermostat

I need a new thermostat in my 2003 Accord. I don't know too much about cars, but thought this might be something I could myself. I have no clue how to though. Any suggestions? Or is $150 the mechanic is charging me the best route to take?

You could save yourself a quick $100 or so doing it yourself. It shouldn't take more than an hour. Do you have the 4CYL or V6? Either way no special tools are required.

What makes you think you need a new thermostat? If it's a 4cylinder it's EASY. Get a coolant drain pan under the car. Pop off the quick release on the thermostat, remove and replace the thermostat. Pop the holder back in place and replace the coolant.
