Reliable shop nearby?
I need to get my coolant flushed and don't have the time or patience to do it by myself. Is there somewhere nearby you guys can recommend that won't charge me an arm and a leg, or screw something up?

Pride and Joy its down in McCoy near the river. Its a bit of a haul but they seem like honest people. My dealings with them have been excellent and I trust almost no one in this town, I have also heard good things about the Bug Shop but I have no personal dealings with them just second hand talk.

This. I recall Tim having issues with inspections at the Bug Shop but can't say for sure.

Why do you need your coolant flushed?
Is it murky/muddy or producing a galvanic reaction? If not, don't worry about it.

It's a little murky and I have no idea last time it's been replaced or what the P.O put in it. Hopefully this plus a new radiator cap is the end to my overheating woes on I81. I'll find out this weekend!

We can run through the whole coolant system to make sure nothing else like the water pump or thermostat is faulty and contributing to your problems.
