Hello, there.
Where do I get my Prado 3.4 V6 radiator repaired, or where do I buy one?

You can take it to Silverton Radiators to be checked. If it has brass tanks it can be repaired and they will tell you if it's worth re-coring or not .... 9 times out of 10 it's not. Cheapest is to replace it outright with an aluminium radiator from Midas / Autozone / Alert.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
