How did they arrive at that diagnosis?

Did they actually take the car in and look it over, performing tests and ruling out some other possibilities? Or did they just "assume" your situation leads to a head gasket?
One other possibility is, if you have an automatic transmission, that the radiator needs replacing. Oil cooler lines from the transmission pass through the radiator via a metal line internal to the radiator, which can develop a leak over time. This mixes transmission fluid into the cooling system (and maybe coolant into your transmission, which you want to address ASAP). Cure is to replace the radiator and thoroughly flush the cooling system.
