Get a written estimate on the radiator repair and be very clear, even in writing on the estimate, that the repair shop is not to proceed with repairs above this amount without first getting confirmation from you as the owner. By writing it on the original as well as your copy and having the service rep initial the comment you are more protected.
Ask the radiator repair shop what certification they have. The Automotive Service Excellence or ASE award is the highest award that a repair shop can have in the United States and other countries have their own standards.
