I need a coolant flush/fill and i just moved to West Chester and don't have the tools or a place to do it myself!. Any shops that would be reasonable or trustworthy. I cant drive far under the conditions my car is in

Its a ford mustang

Reason:
A tube fell off and coolant is all over my bay. I have over heating problems. From what i assume its extra air but that's beside the point the coolant is dirty as **** and needs to get flushed.

Import Intelligence is right down the street...

But in all honesty... a coolant flush? I did it without even jacking my car up in the front.

Just put it on a steep-er hill and go to town. You don't need any tools really, just a screwdriver and a pan to catch the coolant.

Go to pep boys. they have a coolant flush kit. If the coolants dirty you dont want to just empty and re-file. The kit gives you an extension to put on your garden hose and plug into the radiator cap.

If you can take it to a shop, why can't you afford to buy a screwdriver? To flush it through just keep re-filling a gallon jug and rinsing it.

It has nothing to do with money. I am located in West Chester for school. West Chester is not my home, my tools and stuff are over an hour away. I cant work on my car in my apartment's parking lot. The coolant does not even look like coolant i want the full system cleaned out. All i was asking was for a shop.

What tools do you need? I'm right behind the hospital in WC

Jake (Infinite Motorsports) will be back in a couple days (he's picking up a car in NC). He actually just did mine last week. Or go to Francis Automotive (on Rt 3 just past the WC Diner on the left) and ask for Pat.

I went to import intelligence. I know, i drive a domestic. They dident make me feel like a loser even tho they probably got a good laugh its not their usual 240. The price was reasonable and it fixed my problem.
