That's why I asked him to check his owner manual to be sure.

Flush is pretty useless 9 out of 10 times if car is moving heat gauge in traffic. 

Getting it cleaned from inside is much better as once in two year or depending on kms you have done.

Which car and year? How many kms driven? When was last radiator changed or cleaned?

If service advisor is suggesting without any symptom then it's a waste tbh.

@Gaurav Some times my car is little overheating in slow moving or ideal specially in mid day-when temp is high. Garage advised me to do radiator flushing. Mine is 2013 pajero. 120k done. Till now no work is done for radiator. So what shall I do now.

Radiator flush is a huge waste of time andd money. In personal experience flushing and opening it and getting it rodded has done fuck all good.

If overheating in slow moving traffic or idling then you fan clutch is on the way out. 

A clogged radiator will overheat under engine load not at idle or slow moving traffic.

Thank you @desertdudeSo fan clutch needs to be changed?  How much should it cost including labor and please suggest garage as well. Looks like my garage charges a lot. He quoted 450 + AED  for radiator flushing and cleaning. Thankfully I didn't do it that time.

I just checked the clutch price it is 900 to 1000 aed. Also this is not available now.

I will first get it checked that does it needs to be changed now or any other issue.
