My sister has a Ninja 250 or 300.  I can't remember, but she told me she paid about $160 for a coolant flush.  I've never done that before, but it can't be too hard. Especially knowing there's probably tons of videos on the subject.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a mechanic in the Dallas area?

Here's her bike.

Save your money and get a service manual! Use only destilled water and coolant for aluminum engines in a 50/50 mix.

A lot of OEM coolants come pre-mixed ready to use 

Here is a mix/temp chart and dicide your self.

 
 

My sister is 70 years old.  She's not going to get a manual and learn how to fix her bike.  She needs somebody that she can take it to.

They probably charged shop rate for an hour of labour, plus the parts.  There may also be a disposal charge for the old coolant.  $160 seems about right in that scenario.

Remember that in my area anyway, shops are charging $100.00 to $125.00 per hour labor rate.  So yeah, $160.00 is what I would expect for this service at a factory dealership.  Perhaps less at a general bike shop, but that can lead to other issues.

Your 70 year old sister still riding that bike!  Wow she must be a firecracker. 

  I am impressed.
