I was wondering if there were kits to replace all the hoses in my car?


It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road

Is there kits to change all the hoses in my car or am i going to just have to go hose by hose.

I worked in automotive parts for a few years (although not exactly recently), and never saw a "kit" for hoses. Gasket kits are common, as are bushing kits, but not hoses.
I think that most people only replace them if they fail, or appear as if they're about to. With the newer technologies used over the last 20 years or so, they're often outlasting the cars. Even considering that though - I would consider it to be good preventive maintenance to consider changing them after 5 years, and certainly after 10. Mine are almost 7 now, and still look and feel very good - but I'm keeping a close eye on them to try to avoid surprises. Once one shows signs of deterioration, I plan on changing them as a set.
On a side note - I'm rather amazed at the condition of my serpentine belt. After nearly 7 years and 228,000km, it still hasn't got a single visible crack! I never saw a belt last like that on any car I've owned in the past - are other people finding this too? Just curious...
