There are two kinds of shops now days. OLD and NEW
The new shops are just replacement shops You bring you ride in they figure out what is bad and order a new one and put it in. Easy Peasy.
But the old style shops FIXED things.. A raditor for example has several modules The upper tank, lower tank, Transmission cooler (often part of lower tank) and so on.. What a Radiator REPAIR shop does is remove the top and bottom tanks if they are good RE-CORE the thing (that is the heat exchanger part) and put it back in... Unless the problem is a bad tank. these shops should be able to fix ANY radiator.
