I have a 2008 Aspen.Long story short, I hit the curb one day and the next I smelled antifreeze. After a week of smelling it and then going away. my car finally overheated. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere and asked my wife to go get some antifreeze at the local store and that stupid stop leak(i know, I'm an idiot). Well fast forward, I bring the car to the mechanics the next day and he says the entire cooling system is full of sludge and I would have to replace everything. Radiator, 2 heater cores, and all hoses.. It would cost nearly $2300. Am I being taken or can I go somewhere else and have them power flush it for much less. If there is a leak, I will pay for a new radiator, but replacing the entire cooling system from the stop leak. Suggestions??
