[AUS] repair shop for radiator and oil cooler?
 
Does anybody know a good shop for repairing/welding aluminum oil coolers?

I also need some work done on a radiator. I've looked on Citysearch and have been eyeing Swann's Garage, gonna call them on Monday. Does anybody know a "for sure" place?
And what about prices? I just have a little crack that needs to be sealed.

thanks.

For the oil cooler...I would try an airplane repair place...they know where to send oil coolers...most small planes are oil cooled.

A search on oil coolers in the 3rd gen section turned this up....

American Cooler Service, Inc

Not cheap but great work $125 per cooler a year or so back.

^That would have been the best option, but I preferred not to ship it around because I needed a fast turn around time.

A local rad shop sent me over to Spillar Welding on S. Congress. They welded up both bosses for $30. It's not exactly a fix since it wasn't leaking in the first place, I just wanted peace of mind from this nasty crack:

I think they did a good job. I don't know jack about aluminum welding so I can't say if I've seen better.
