This is a 240, for which parts are easily available. Assume they want to buy their own parts. That way they deal with parts from a known supplier (in case of problems that is much easier), and can put the "list" price on the bill, while wholesale is about 30-50% lower (at least around here. I get about 30% on all parts, and I know the larger shops can get 50% on some high-turnover stuff like brakes, ignition parts and exhausts). Anyway, discuss that with your mechanic.

Sorry, don't know the transmission cooler fitting size. Automatic 240s are rare enough around here that I haven't recently removed a rad from one.
