William, there are a lot of people on this list (including me) that do all of the work on their busses themselves. There are also a lot of people on this list that do NO work on their busses themselves. As for coolant- it is faily straight forward and easy to do, given you have tools, a slope and patience. It may not cost a lot at a dealer, but i bet it's about 200$... money i'd rather spend on beer or tires. I dream about having the $$$ to NOT have to work on my own cars :-)

cheers matthew
