Re: Changed oil ...

I'd imagine the radiator would have to be pretty "dry" to braze it.

If you want to save the coolant & have them try to repair it in place; you could drain your coolant & save it.
Fill your cooling system with water & have the radiator shop dump the water & make the repair.
Refill it with water there.
When you get home, dump the water & put your coolant back in.

For the cost of antifreeze, I'd just put in new though.
