Default after oil change i am down a pint of anti freeze

i got my oil changed yesterday and now today the low coolant light comes on and i am down a pint of anti freeze...i also had them test my air conditioning and then added some juice to it...could they have done anything that would have caused me to lose some anti freeze?

Have you seen the size of the coolant reservoir??
When I worked at the dealer, my stall was near the service drive and I always had a jug of 'pre-mix' yellow and orange coolant to top-up the customer's cars when they complained that the low coolant light/message was on.

You will probably need a 'splash' at least once a year.

yeah my car always seems to "eat" coolant a bit, I usually add a cup of water when the light comes on, it's only happened 3 times in the 4 years I have had the car
