Default $170 for cooling system flush!

Just been quoted $170 for a 3 year old fiesta zetec to get the cooling system flushed and coolant replaced...

Is this unreasonable or is it just me? Can I do it my self? Does it really need to be flushed by them?

cheers

That is a rip off,no way do not pay that kind of money for it,that is not reasonable at all.

As i roughly qouted is closer to the mark for you... Conditioner wise will set you back no more than $15.00 for your system.

Want to do it yourself? All you need to do is ask and i'll teach you... :P PM me if its a yes...
