And that's if they are even checking the trunk to see if the coolant level is kosher...

I got in the habit of of seeing what's doing back there after my last coolant flush. I missed many opportunities to make the cap switch, like when the tank split and dumped all the coolant, as well as this last water pump. New cap should be part of any PPI inspection check list.

it's really amazing how such a minor thing can let a potentially big problem get away from you. The dash is not going to help you out until its way late.
