We were in Chicago for a family vacation when the radiator overheated on my Jeep on a friday night around 5pm. We called Andre's and explained our situation and he said he would look at first thing Saturday morning. At 1pm, I still had not heard from the shop, so I called them. I was put on hold for 10 minutes and then told that both upper and lower hoses along with the radiator needed to be replaced, along with a "switch" and the fan. This would cost me $1500 and it might be fixed on monday. We opted to have a family member come with a U-haul trailer and we trailered it back home. At home, our local radiator repair shop fixed the fan in five minutes. I did need a new radiator, but the bill came to $565.23, much better than the $1500 that Andre's quoted me. I have to wonder if I was being taken advantage of seeing as Andre's knew we were from out of town.
