My radiator blew on SZR – here's how the replacement went

Last month I was driving back from Abu Dhabi and suddenly saw steam coming from under the hood of my old Lexus LS – pulled over just in time before the temp gauge hit the red, and after getting towed to a shop in Al Quoz, they told me the radiator had a big crack and needed full replacement. I was dreading the cost because I've heard horror stories about cheap aftermarket radiators failing within months, but the garage I ended up at used quality parts and walked me through everything. I actually found https://www.royalprinceautocare.com/service/car-radiator-replacement/ while researching what a fair price should be, and it helped me ask the right questions like whether they'd replace the hoses and clamps at the same time. In the end, the job cost about 40% less than the dealer quote and my coolant temps have been rock solid even in this heat. Just a heads up for anyone else who sees that white smoke – don't ignore it, and definitely make sure whoever does the job pressure tests the system afterward.
