Engine coolant is designed to protect your car radiator and cooling system year round. There are a variety of coolants available. Most have additives to protect your cooling system by preventing corrosion, lubricating, and increasing cooling efficiency.
To maintain proper operation, it’s important to replace the coolant in your system with the proper type as per the manufacturer.
Our complete coolant flush and exchange removes virtually 100% of the old coolant. Your vehicle’s manufacturer recommends changing this fluid at certain intervals throughout the life of your vehicle. This service helps:
Keep the engine operating at optimum temperature by dispersing heat through the radiator
Prevent rust and corrosion from forming on internal parts
Reduce the chances of freezing and boil-over during extreme conditions
