What is a Coolant Flush?
Coolant, or antifreeze, helps regulate your car engine’s temperature and prevents the different fluids from freezing in cold temperatures. It also prevents the engine from overheating in warmer temperatures and lubricates the different metal components under the hood to work smoothly while remaining protected against rusting due to moisture accumulation. Over time, antifreeze can become contaminated, hampering its ability to regulate engine temperature effectively. This is exactly when you need a coolant flush service, in which the old coolant is drained from the car’s system, and where the cooling system is cleaned to eliminate all the contaminants. With this service, technicians ensure that the engine works appropriately without excessive wear and inefficient fuel consumption.
