make sure they replace the radiator as well as whatever else may have caused the leak. When my plastic radiator 'popped', the shop said it was probably due to a previous incident where the car had overheated and weakened the plastic connection at the top of the radiator.

If they don't replace the radiator at the same time as whatever else broke, it'll pop and you'll be stuck again. Shop said it was pretty common with the plastic radiators.
