About a month and a half ago I was on a trip back to school and my car started leaking anti-freeze badly (almost pooring out when i'd put more in the resivior (spelling?)). Had it towed to a pep boys, they told me I needed a new radiator. With no options and 90 miles from my school I said go ahead.

Within a week after I got the new radiator, my car started leaking anti-freeze again. Problem was, I was a day before leaving for christmas break (14 hours away), so I didn't have time to bring my car to the local pep boys to see what the new problem was.

Fast forward to now.

Just got a call from pep boys saying that my thermostat was stuck shut and I needed knew hoses along with a coolant flush. Could both of these problems ironically have happened at the same time? Or, did I get ripped off the first time with a new radiator?? Could this, yet again, be another mechanic ripping someone off?

Let me know what you think. Sorry for the novel.
