    how old are you? how many shops have you had work done at? and im not insulting you, im trying to make you see the light. you seem to think this is a hi end sports car back at its dealership and are expecting some hi end service to happen. "NOT" its Canadian tire. i aint ever been there but from the way everyone talks about them, they suck balls, they sound a lot like pep boys here. they also suck dick. its all mechanics that cant get hired at a good shop. ( junkies, losers and so on). they over charge and rape you, cause your car dumb and they know it. (im mean people in general, not you. )

    theres a reason i dont go to shops and do my own work, this is why. they do crappy work and dont really care. until the day i cant turn a wrench myself comes, ill be doing all my own work.

    in the end he got what he paid for, if you cant see that im so sorry for you.

    Good guess Scotty. LOL

    Canadian Tire is also very well know for up-selling repairs, as the "mechanics" get bonuses for doing so. And I use the term "mechanic" very loosely.

    FYI, you can also buy home, yard and kitchen items at Canadian Tire. Your one stop shop! LOL

    again with the compliments.

    you have not seen the car, neither have I. Speculation is all it is. I am posting is my opinion.
    its is quite possible the guy pulled the lower rad hose, partially drained the system and introduced air into the core. (no mention of this concern before the service) Unlikely for this to happen with a flush machine.
    if he would have pulled the reservoir and powerwashed it, it would be clean out in the parking lot. no way a non-pressurized coolant reservoir is dirty as the system has not been hot enough to open the cap vent valve.

    have you been in a can tire? I inspected one c-tire automotive dept after the business was sold. Outdated and non functioning equipment, Inadequate service information, no training in place for techs. the management didn't even know enough to shut the compressor off each night...if the air line blew...the building could have burned down.


    ...I am just trying to enlighten you...........sound about right?
