Coolant Change Cost

[jake75]

The local Toyota dealer has their service specials on the web - $70 for a cooling system service which includes drain, refill & inspect. Pontiac dealer doesn't even seem to have a website. I am used to paying about $39.95 to $49.95. Is $70 reasonable?

They have a $139 service which includes a complete flush, running it through the machine, and whatnot.I believe the Toyota dealer quoted me $69 for a flush, not certain whether they ran it through the machine like the Pontiac dealer...

Went to a Toyota place while in South Carolina. was about to reach 30,000 miles so I figured I'd have them change the coolant to their 50,000 mile stuff... They quoted me $129 but had a special going so the complete flush and refill cost me $99 (a little more for tax, I think). This includes a flush kit, the Toyota 50,000 mile coolant and labor. I thought it was a bit high in cost but the more I looked into it, it's a good deal. Regular coolant would have been $20 lessDave
