Quick and good job but it just seems like a lot for antifreeze change. It should be the same as oil change.

Engine light came on. A check of the system showed it to be a thermostat. $248 repair estimate with coupons I paid $207. Time of repair was less than two hours and they topped off all fluids at no additional charge (brake fluid was down.)

Fools! Coolant isn't free! Time? OK..There are different coolants for different engines. You think good coolant is cheap. Which one is right for your engine? Auto shops have to pay to get rid of the fluid. Do you get rid of fluid responsibly? Shops have rent as well. You live with Mommy! Hoses are not free. Neither are the hose clamps you should replaced whenever a hose goes out. Truthfully at 75-100K miles the entire coolant system including houses, pulleys, water pump, thermostat, temperature sender, relays, gaskets, expansion tanks, caps...should be replaced. There is a reason you don't have a warranty on that shit car. Do these things. Maybe you can drive for another 100,000 miles. You still should change coolant three times in between. Don't forget the transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, differential, bearings, air conditioning, tires,,,,,. All wear out too..
Anyhwho.. Drink your coolant responsibly and see if you can outlast your car!
Good Luck.

New operation - relocated from Lyndhurst, NJ this summer. Owner/Ops Ed and Tom were absolutely wonderful! Diagnosed problem, handled the 'fix' professionally and thoroughly in timely manner. I have been looking for a new auto center nearby to where I live - think I have found it!

Ther eis a drain valve on the block just above the oil filter. Get to it by raising car and climbing under passenger door. Once I loosened that it drained all night. Like a car with prostate. Its older and I hear the valve can plug. 1.5 gallons. Then loosen lower hose at radiator and watch out, a half gallon gushes out. Put all back and add 2.1 gallons prestone. Not easy. but fun with a teeneager and it teaches him something.

Went in for my basic oil change and was told I should get m radiator fluid replaced. Price was 89.99 and all I really went there for was the standard oil change. But agreed to the service as I had 148,112 miles and couldn't recall ever having it done before on the 13 year old car. I still wonder if I really needed it or if I got suckered into paying an extra $89.99 in a sales pitch (they seem to do that a lot at these places - always pushing more than the basic oil change every time I go, which is why I dread going in the first place.)Lesson: definitely need to check my owners manual before I agree to these things!

June 2012: I suspected a clog in a drain line and told them so, I don't even think they checked it. They said usually that issue is fixed with a coolant flush, getting any air pockets out of the lines. The car does sound much better now so hopefully that was the fix -- if so I didn't mind spending the $80 on it. Plus free shuttle and car wash!

I flush the radiator in the Crown Victoria every few years. The temperature in Southern California is mild all year round, but we do drive to Las Vegas six times a year and have passed through Baker when it was 115 degrees out.
Incidentally, every summer there are fresh spots of charred asphalt on the highway where a car has overheated and burned down to the ground, so it's an incentive to keep the cooling system in good shape.
Car is 18 years old and the thermostat, radiator cap, top and bottom radiator hoses are all original, so I pulled them and put in new ones. Also the water temperature sending unit was malfunctioning for a while, so I replaced that. The additional cost for the extra parts was another $77. I bought a lot of the parts through RockAuto on manufacturer closouts (Brand names, very cheap)
I use a yellow "Glazers" pencil and write the date/mileage of the repairs on the underside of the hood to keep track.

My wife brought in the car. They told her that the tires were bad. We bought 1 year ago. They mentioned that the battery was weak. We bought that 2 years ago. They mentioned that the other stuff will cost more. We brought in car before for Rotor and brake replacement. They screwed up and the brakes engraved into rotors. I don't think they replaced the rotors, just the brakes next time we brought in. Car still has issue. Never go back to John Elway Toyota. They will try to milk you for your money and they give bad service.

Went to Jiffy's Rip Off Joint for oil change. They coaxed me into changing the Transmission Oil, coolant and oil for $291. I foolishly accepted. They changed that all in 20 minutes ! Now reading all this, I am realizing that I got ripped off. I will never again do business with Jiffy's Lube again and do not recommend anyone
