    tell me how do they know its got air in it? they flush it and out the door it goes. its also not winter, who's using the heat or giving a crap if it blows hot now? who?! and it will blow hot in summer time if theres ho water int he core or not, wont it?

    he would have been a new tread come October, "help, i got no heat."

    the thing is here, dont expect so much from a shop, especially a chain shop like this. they dont give a crap, like a pep boys shop, i pass and laugh at them poor suckers who go there..

    for the diy guys you can flush, clean and re fill your coolant the right way for 20 bucks at home.

    scotty...if you had brown **** in you cooling system the next day after a flush...you be pissed. that brown **** only forms from contact with air so maybe there is air in the system but it should be pretty clean the next day after a complete system refill for an 2008

    I agree. When I pulled my rims to have the tires changed, I brought the rims only. I even pulled the center caps. Manager gave me a funny look. I returned a 1/2 hr later and there was the same elderly couple that had been sitting there all day. I shot the same Manager a look of "why-the-^&$ are those poor folks still here?" then he couldn't look at me in the face anymore.

    I seriously have difficulty when people just "bring it in" ..like my brother ..that got charged $135 to change an idler pulley. Yeah, buy a book, join a forum, talk to an old wrench monkey, do whatever it takes to stay the heck outta those places.


    As for the brown stuff, slow your roll broseph primem, lol! It really is too bad the guy got bad service, but it's past that joint now. It's not a huge deal to have all that nasty crap still in there. I did LIMs on my 1997 Blazer, flushed again this year and there was still junk coming out in chunks. I know for a fact the heater core on that's going, but the two older (97&99) GTP's I've owned both had similar results. I never did do a "clean" on any of them. But, I just found out my GP is 1 of 3,009 made, and I don't know how many in this color. Better believe I'm doing it in this car.
