The local Indy is just going to get the Rads from Worldpac for like $300 each. So a 100+% markup is nuts. Labor is little high as the job can be done EASY in 2 hours. Now a good shop will also bleed down the system before adding the new stupid expensive coolant.

If you know what you are doing with a wrench, you can do the job yourself and same a fair bit of coin. I bought my rhs radiator from Pelican and some coolant for less than $500 and did the work myself over a couple of evenings after work.

Buy it from Suncoast or online somewhere (but make sure it's for a TT and not an NA), and do it yourself. There are a few DIY articles around and it isn't very hard. You'll save a ton and get a little more familiar with you car.
