Block heater installation for your Chevrolet Malibu
Typical price $290 · 1–2 hours
Fit an engine block heater for easier starts in cold weather.
What the job involves
A block heater warms the engine coolant so the engine starts easily and warms up faster in cold weather – useful in the Interior and the North. Your mechanic fits a heater suited to your engine (frost plug, in-line or cartridge type), routes the cord to the front of the vehicle and tests it.
Price is a placeholder for a typical vehicle; some engines need more labour and your mechanic will confirm first.
