How much does it cost to replace the thermostat in my car?
I’m pretty sure my car's thermostat is busted as it’s started giving readings that are way too low—how much will it cost to replace the thermostat in my car?

It definitely sounds like you’ll need to replace your thermostat—incorrect readings can easily spiral into an overheating engine if the problem isn’t addressed. Expect a thermostat replacement to cost somewhere between $200 and $400, depending on the make and model of your vehicle.
Something like a Dodge Durango will cost roughly $100 for the thermostat alone, but for a vehicle such as the Toyota Supra, a new thermostat can be almost $330—for a more specific estimate, ask a local mechanic.
Of course, labor costs can certainly rack up the price as well, especially if your thermostat is harder to access and requires more disassembly of the engine to remove and replace. At the lowest, expect labor to make up at least $100 of the total cost.
