Great idea! I would have done it your way also. After completing repairs, I would ascertain that the coolant mix was correct. It has been a while since I worked on them, but I seem to remember protection to -34*F from the factory; also provided overheating protection to 260*F. with the proper pressure cap. Gave the system proper corrosion protection. I probably would have recommended a flush and refill to complete and insure the repair.

Personally, those plastic pressure/reservoir tanks are a bad idea as are plastic used in radiators. A peterbuilt truck blew a headgasket that used the sealed radiator/pressure reservoir, the only way to determine the fluid was low was to remove the cap allowing air to enter to find the system was leaking, turned out the plastic reservoir leaked only when the engine was running and hot.

As a mechanic I've seen two things when it comes to people and repairs, one people will come in to shops in hopes of free diagnosis, meaning they just want you to look at what the problem is to fix it themself or have their mechanic fix it!, two my manager's have done this to me many times, don't point out problems until the owner has a concern with that component. Most shops are turning that way now, it's a way they can add a diagnosis charge to your bill! I'm all for helping someone and have been trapped by both. It really sucks when you help out only to get the oh I'll fix that myself or have my mechanic fix it, and it's really demeaning when a manager forces you to overlook something because the customer didn't ask or have a concern about this or that! The I'll have my mechanic fix it one I try to take note of what car it was and never change their oil again, if their mechanic can't change oil what good are they!

@EnglishTurbines 😂😂😂That, my friend, is an understatement! There are some really good ones too. Lately, it has been rough, though. I appreciate you making me laugh. Keep wrenching, brother 🔧 Kenny

@eric_seguin Yikes! That must have been scary for your friend. I just say 'mexico' to seen like I'm going someplace cool. The scenery looks just like Durham, North Carolina. Keep wrenching! Kenny

Where did the coolant go is the question. I had a ford mondeo with a slow coolant leak that I just couldnt find. After about 18 moths I found that the seals in the parking heater had burned because of an earliler problem with a cracked expansion vessel that put the parking heater above the coolant level. IT was enough for the heater and parking heater (which i didnt use) not to work but never overheated.

They missed the missing bolt as well.

Unbelievable. “Sorry sir we are to lazy to find a coolant leak” I hope the other place didn’t charge them anything at all.

Avoid the "Splash n Fills". No such thing as a 10 minute oil service. Oil can be changed in 10 minutes, but you need to look things over at the same time... tires, brakes, wipers, lights, hoses, belt(s) and oil the hinges and latches. Check rear diff level as req'd. Check and top up all fluid levels. Look for signs of leakage on the low fluids. That's what we did back in the day.... and that's why I still do my own.

A coolant system pressure test would have found that leak in no time
