so after dealing with that, i flush each of the vehicles at regular intervals.

Totally agree. I'm not saying don't ever flush the coolant or at least keep on eye on the color and level. I'm just saying the P-car dealer will only do what's on the list Pedro posted up (if your're lucky) and they don't consider coolant flush necessary. I for one would never take my car to a P-car dealership for maintence anyway, I'm just saying.
