I need to get the coolant on my car flushed. It's been over two

A lot of auto repair shops offer the coolant flush service.
It will take some time to do the job.

Why does it have to be flushed? Most car makers just tell you to drain
and replace the fluid. My car says first change at 10 years or 120000
miles and then every 2 years. Nothing about a flush.

I'd not trust any of the fast lube places for anything.

I think it also depends on the specific coolant as to how long you can go, but I would just drain and replace. And imo even a 1997, no need to change it sooner than 5 years, 50k miles. Also, sometimes you wind up changing it because of a leaking hose, water pump failure, etc. anyw ay.
