I would look to friends and or family that may have dealt with some good shops that may have a good reputation...
I'll make the assumption that the Van is at the dealership... Now I wonder if the head gaskets are really blown, of the the LIM gaskets are dead... A good compression test would reveal the truth... Not sure what to tell you on the shops to call..

Called a shop that I have done business with in the past and the cost will be somewhere between $1,500 and $2,000 for a full hed service and water pump if needed. I think the problem may be the water pump.
