Right now, things are tight and prices are through the roof on most things. I'm dealing with this in different markets. Inflation is ramping up from poor US fiscal policies. I had mine done a few years back and was no where near what these numbers are. Local guy did a heater core last year and was reasonable. I'd stop short of price gouging but most things are still in short supply. Not sure the prices will go down, but depending on your urgency whether you can wait out the market.
Radiators have changed and most of the new ones are toss and replace, not made to repair like the vintage. The corner independent shops have disappeared, if they didn't diversify. There's been consolidation in the industry as well.
