When my son came home with coolant spraying all over the place, yet again, I couldn't find this part anywhere local! Everyone could special order it for me but I had to wait for it! So I checked Amazon! And what would you know? Their it was and for half the price at that!! So that was a no brainier for me! I have purchased many Dorman products in the past and have been very happy with them.I got the part, installed it the same evening and my son was able to drive to school the next day! It was an exact match to the OEM part and fit perfectly. The install was fast and easy! I have not had any issues or problems at all. After changing out every part in the my son's cars coolant system, the root cause was actually the heater core! If you need a heater hose assembly, and this one fits your car, than this is the one to get!!!
