1. Chain garages like Formula 1, ATS, Halfords, Quickfit, etc. These do
standard jobs (brakes, MOT, service, etc.) They employee semi-skilled
mechanics.

2. Dealers, who will obviously do everything for particular range of
cars, but are expensive for most jobs (although servicing seems
reasonable value).

3. Backstreet garages who will do almost anything, but would you trust
them ? I would, if I was friends with someone there.

4. DIY. Well, my back is not so good.

So where do I get my radiator fan changed for a reasonable price if I am
not currently up to it ?

Changing a fan is the sort of job any fitter should be able to do. Not
usually at the difficult end of the spectrum. But if an electric one, it
may not be the fan motor which has failed. You then move on to needing
electrical/electronic skills. Often rather lacking in garages.
