Radiator & Coolant Flushing Service

Why Radiator and Coolant Maintenance Is Important

We all know the engine is the single most important component under the hood of your vehicle. Radiator and coolant maintenance is important because it directly affects how your engine operates, specifically when it comes to its temperature. Radiator and coolant maintenance helps keep the engine temperature in check. If your engine overheats, it can result in significant and costly damage.

Here's a look at some of the damage your engine may sustain if it overheats:

• Blown gaskets
• Damaged cylinder heads
• Complete engine failure

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Coolant Flush

‍Think your vehicle needs a coolant flush? Here's a look at some of the signs and symptoms to be on the lookout for:

• If your engine temperature regularly climbs or overheats, even if you have a full tank of coolant.
• If your coolant appears rusty or brown.
• If you smell an unusual, maple syrup-like odor.
• If the low coolant warning light illuminates on your dashboard.

It's generally suggested that you flush your coolant once every 30,000 miles or every five years.If you're regularly experiencing low coolant levels or notice a coolant leak, you likely need more extensive coolant system repair.
