You're right, not many radiator shops around anymore. Used to be several in Centralia- Chehalis area, but only one left- Dr. Zigs in Centralia- (36O) 7three6-57ll. And I don't know if he's still doing much radiator work- when I had him recore an IH 504 radiator a few years ago, he said there just wasn't much work left, what with radiators all being "throw-aways" now. So he is now doing metal salvage and scrapping.
BTW, the re-core was $650, so $500 for a S55 is probably not out of line, given the size difference. But I'd sure go take a look at it- I agree with the others, it should just be split somewhere, not completely destroyed, even if they did use too much pressure.
