What is the typical charge for a HOAT coolant flush and refill? I made an appointment at the Jeep dealer and they said it would be $130, but when I arrived they said it would be $200. Sent from my DROID2 using Tapatalk |

NAPA has the proper Zerex G5 coolant and it's under $20 per gallon and as I recall it takes just under 2 but I could be wrong on that. When my thermostat needed replaced, I pay a $100 deductable on my extended warranty, I asked since it was about 5 years old how much to change the antifreez fluid. He gave me a off the cuff $500 quote I ended up replacing the thermostat, just over $100, 2 jugs of G5, just under $40, and 2 jugs of distilled water that cost $2. So for under $150 I did the job in about the time it would have taken me to make two trips to the dealer at a cost of$600 $100 deductable and a $500 flush ![]() For the flush with the thermostat off I ran tap water through all the hoses then used air to blow any remaining water out. It ended up taking the exact amount of 50/50 coolant listed in the FSM

A $500 quote. That's why they are nick named "STealer" I guess their is so much business to go around that they don't need repeat customers. I'm off work right now and I'll do it for FREE. If your close by. I'm sure that some honest dealers exist. I just haven't found one yet. |
