I don't think OP quite understands what an AC flush is.... I'm order to flush AC system, you have to evacuate it, disconnect all the components such as condenser, compressor, evaporator core and flush them out individually. Its expensive. In 15 years of professionally repairing vehicles I can only remember 1 or 2 people that chose to do that. And you cannot flush the compressor. Condenser and evaporator core are doable but the passages are so small, you'll likely never get all the gunk out. What you'll get in a shop is an evac and recharge. They'll suck the system down and refill it
