Default Coolant change

What “upsale” items might I expect if a dealer does a coolant change?

is there anything that is extra that should be done?

If you are in for a coolant change, there should be no upsale of anything.

Had it done last week - if I heard them correctly, they pressure tested for any leaks. If your heater hose T's look old and brittle, they will ask you about those. You should change them if they do - they're plastic and can be failure point. Oh, and they hit me up for $35 wiper blades (each).

Massively overpriced engine air filter, cabin air filter, wiper blades, throttle body or injector cleaning, all of which you can do much cheaper if needed.
