HEATING & COOLANT SYSTEMS

Flushing your radiator’s antifreeze helps to protect your engine from overheating.

On top of  regular oil changes, ensuring your coolant system operates properly is probably the second most essential thing you can do for your engine. Old coolant, or even worse, coolant that has leaked out could easily end up costing you hundreds in repairs.

Coolant, usually referred to as antifreeze, soaks up the engine heat created as you drive through town. It flows through the radiator and back through the engine again and again. This is a rough job and as a result, the coolant will break down. It will no longer cool the engine or transmission as well as it used to. Plus, it uses up all of its anti-rust agents, allowing corrosion within the engine components and this can lead to a costly repair bill.
