Coolant flush, Yes. A/C system not necessary unless, they have to disconnect the hoses or remove the compressor to install the head gaskets. That is an expensive repair bill!!! Have you shopped around?

Thank you Jonathan, Thank you TrannyMan. I didn't shop around because I was just having the spark plugs replace my car was running just fine but after the plug replacement it started backfiring in idle mode & shaking a bit and now they told me the coils needed to be replaced and the radiator needed to be pressurized & now they said it was the head gaskets that needed to be replace. Yes, they seen a woman coming and seen $$$$$$

If it was running good prior to them replacing the spark plugs it sounds like they didn't put the spark plug wires back on properly and trying to take you for a ride. I hope you can find somewhere else to take your car because, it sounds like they are trying to scam you! RUN AWAY!!!
