Heater core replacement: dealer or independent? V70-XC70 2000

When the radiator went in my 2000 V70 at 210,000 miles, I took the advice I received from several on this website and went to an independent radiator shop. The job was good (as far as I can tell) and the price was about $300 less than the dealer's quote.

NOW, it's the heater core's turn. At least I assume so. I'm getting a foggy/filmy windshield, along with the feeling of increased humidity and the smell of coolant in the passenger compartment. The "low coolant" lamp has just lit.

Is this a problem that would best be addressed by a dealer, regardless of cost, or can I trust it to an independent garage?

Opinions (as usual) on Brickyard are highly valued and appreciated.

Thanks!
