Hopefully they will (or maybe they already did) drain the block at the same time. At 80K this isn't really a job for a flush machine, unless they needed 6 gallons to fill up their tank for free. It's pretty much an easy DIY project.

2 gallons of Toyota pink premix should do it, drain the radiator and block. Attach a short hose to make things a little less messy if you want. There's actually a little spout on the back of the block to make things easier.

I mean they most likely will fill with tap water, not coolant....
