Quick connects are part of the hose and not a separate part that you can buy. You might want to try a self serve junkyard first before running to the dealer.
Heater hose quick connect
Hello, My gf’s car has had this leak in the heater hose. It causes it to lose coolant over time but only while the car is off. Never overheats when on but leaks out coolant once the car sits. The coolant seems to be coming out of the quick connect fitting attached to the heater hose. Can’t find anything online and my gf doesn’t feel comfortable with us trying to fix it without instructions or guidance. Does anybody happen to know how to remove this fitting? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tried to get an angle where you can see most of it. Let me know if a different angle would be better.
Two Tab Type Fitting
This type of quick-connect fitting (2) is equipped with tabs located on both sides of the fitting (1). These tabs are integral to the hose component. The plastic tabs will remain on the component being serviced after the quick-connect fitting is removed. The O-ring and spacer will remain in the quick-connect fitting. The plastic tab portion should be removed from the component. Special tools are not required for removal.
