Expect about $150–$350 installed for a thermostat replacement on a 2019 GMC Canyon, depending on the part and labor. The thermostat unit itself typically costs $10–$70, with OEM parts tending higher, and some setups may require replacement of the housing or coolant which adds to the cost.
Beyond the bottom-line price, several factors determine the actual bill, including the engine in your Canyon, whether the thermostat is integrated into the water outlet housing, the shop's labor rate, and whether coolant replacement is bundled into the service.
Thermostat options for the 2019 GMC Canyon
Prices vary by brand and configuration. Here are typical ranges for the thermostat itself.
- Aftermarket thermostat (basic unit): 10–25 USD
- Aftermarket thermostat with seals/gasket: 15–40 USD
- OEM GM thermostat (manufacturer brand): 40–70 USD
- Thermostat and housing assembly (if housing replacement is needed): 60–120 USD
Prices below refer to the thermostat unit alone, before labor or coolant changes.
In short, you pay more for OEM parts, and if the housing is involved or a coolant touch is required, expect higher costs.
Do I need the housing too?
In many 2019 Canyon setups, the thermostat sits inside the water outlet housing. If the housing is cracked or stuck, technicians often replace the entire unit, which raises both parts cost and labor. Ask your mechanic to confirm what’s included in the quote.
Labor costs and total installed price
Labor prices vary by shop and region. Here’s a typical breakdown.
- Independent shop: 1–2 hours at 75–120 USD/hour → 75–240 USD
- Dealership/GM shop: 1–2 hours at 100–180 USD/hour → 100–360 USD
- DIY (tools and coolant): parts cost plus tools; potential savings but higher risk
Estimated labor costs based on common shop rates and time required.
Overall, most customers see a total installed price of roughly $150–$350, with some scenarios pushing higher if the cooling system requires additional service.
Summary
The thermostat itself is a relatively inexpensive component, but labor and potential housing or coolant requirements drive the total price. Expect a typical installed range of about $150–$350, with OEM parts and housing replacements on the higher end. Always get multiple quotes and confirm whether coolant service is included or recommended with the job.
