It seems that radiators that have been repaired by radiator shops only last about a year...or less, and then they need to be repaired again, and again, and again...etc.I think the problem is related to the new aluminum core and plastic tank radiators use on newer cars (last 20+ years or so).  When radiators had copper or brass cores and tanks, they could easily be fixed and often outlasted the vehicle....but sadly, those days are long gone....Rich...Rich</blockquote>
