My car just started over heating lately and everybody keeps telling me it's the thermostat. Well the dealership wants like $200 to replace a $10 part which is crazy.
 
really easy most anyone can do it for under 50 bucks ...first go to any parts store and just ask forwhat you need like buy coolant and new thermostat and new gasket you wil fin dit by following top radaitor hose back to motor remove hose and the housing hose was attact to most offen two bolts and lift might have to tap it or pry it lightly to brake the gasket loose will then scrape off old gasket and repalce how you pulled it out not hard right refill radiator crank car watch flow drop and rise add more coolant as it needs it check for leaks pretty much sam eway on every car made and never go to a dealer unless theres no other shop open they wil be the highest and really any shop would do here is a few videos of how its done really every easy job maybe a good hour work on most cars you can look under hood and see where top hose is and tell how easy it is if you can see bolts just remove and your got it
