If I am unable to find such a self serve garage, other than dealerships does anyone know of a place where I can get my coolant changed and not the standard 50/50 pre-mix?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Quick question. Just moved out here back in mid May. Trying to find a self service garage if any in northwest las vegas. Any out here? I heard once there might be one over on West Craig but have been unable to find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Funny thing is right now all I want to get done on it is a coolant flush and run an 80/20 mix vs. 50/50, and get my a/c coolant redone (that is easier to find a place) but haven't found a single place yet that will do anything other than a 50/50 pre-mix for coolant. The vegas heat isn't helping keep things running smooth. I've seen my temps via AP hit upwards of 230-240F on harder runs around town.

I'd love to be able to do most of the work myself, and prior to moving out here I did virtually all mechanical work myself. However, now that I am out here and live in a condo complex that's a bit difficult. In the short time I've been out here I've found most places aren't as accommodating to doing things other than they standardly do. I've taken my girl's car into a few places to get work done and had some places that are supposed to be good screw up, so I'm hesitant when I know how to do the work to let someone else monkey it up, but I'm kinda stuck finding a place reliable.

Its a beautiful day for a BBQ... (if you guys show up)
Come have some eats and chillax! I ain't pushing y'alls to go... Some of you showed interest so i eagerly volunteered. You guys are all welcome to come... all I ask is to let me know if you guys' plan changed and such... so i don't cook too much food and let it go to waste, and see when to wrap it up -- i'd like to make the most of this labor day weekend. So please, let me know who's IN and who's OUT. Your cooperation is very much appreciated...
BBQ TODAY (Sunday, Aug 31st) @ 3pm
