Its prob had none inn since she had the waterpump done as cheap as possible at another garage, sure she thinks anti freeze is a mythical need
Another factor that people seem to ignor or not understand is that its ability to not freeze at sub zero temperatures is only one of its purposes, the second is that it is a rust inhibitor, water+cast iron block=rust, the most venerable parts are around the mating faces of the block which can lead to faliure. I forget how many times i have seen corroded blocks at the head gasket interface that are as good as scrap due to this
