Preventive Care

Coolant Flush & System Service

Over time, coolant breaks down and becomes acidic, losing its corrosion protection and heat-carrying capacity. Our complete coolant flush service removes old coolant, flushes the system, and restores proper protection.

We pressure-test the system after flushing to identify any potential leaks before they become roadside emergencies.

FAQ

Common Questions

How often should I flush my coolant?

Most manufacturers recommend coolant flush every 24,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first. However, if you frequently tow heavy loads, drive in extreme temperatures, or notice coolant discoloration, you may need service more frequently. Our technicians can assess your specific situation during inspection.

Can a radiator be repaired or does it need replacement?

Many radiators can be repaired rather than replaced. Small leaks in the tanks or core can often be soldered. Damaged cooling fins can be straightened. However, if the core is severely corroded, cracked in multiple places, or if the damage is extensive, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. We'll always give you honest advice on the best option for your budget and situation.

What causes a heater core to go bad?

Heater cores fail primarily due to corrosion from degraded coolant, physical damage from debris, or internal clogging from sediment buildup. Symptoms include sweet-smelling cabin air, foggy windows that won't clear, coolant leaks on the passenger floor, and insufficient heat. Regular coolant flushes can extend heater core life significantly.

How long does a radiator replacement take?

Most radiator replacements can be completed within 2-4 hours, depending on the vehicle. Some vehicles require extensive disassembly (removing front bumper, grille, etc.), which can extend the time. We provide time estimates before starting work and strive to complete repairs the same day when possible.
