1. reeko39 Says: my car was in an accident. the estimate states repl qual repl parts radiator assy auto trans. Does this mean they are replacing my radiator?
2. Country Boy Says: Possibly the entire front section that the radiator bolts to was damaged also. It may also mean that the radiator and electric fan/s and shrouds were damaged.

When in doubt, ask the shop who's going to repair the car or the insurance adjuster who wrote the estimate.
3. oklatom Says: Radiator is the part that holds the coolant, a series of tubes that it runs through and the air cools it to keep your vehicle at the correct operating temperature. The radiator assembly holds the radiator in place. If the assembly has been compromised, you be be relatively sure the radiator has also.
4. Dave87gn Says: probably means that that not only was the radiator destroyed, but the shroud brackets and supports
5. Mr. KnowItAll Says: Yup.
Same thing.
6. Frankie Says: YES. Same thing.
