my maxima is fixed !

So I took my car to break masters for a coolant flush but they refused my service and wanted to charge me more for different work still saying I had a bad head gasket. So I went to my friends shop and we flushed the coolant our selves, my radiator was clogged and cracked cracked !! So I replaced it and flushed the car I have no more bubbles and clean coolant. My friend told me to flush it again in a month to get everything that didn't come out now to get it out later .

Nice to know it wasn't as bad as you thought before, eh? Head Gaskets are NOT a common failure in our VQ engines, thank God.
