I would say that it is just a coincidence that the radiator failed after they serviced your car. Time for a new radiator.
Earl is an honest guy and you have an honest answer.

To put your mind more at ease, I can advise that I had the same problem and it applies in respect of many makes of car. Radiator specialists here have become expert at fabricating metal tanks.
