Coolant flushes are particularly important. No matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive, your cooling system is an essential aspect of maintaining the reliability of your vehicle.

If your coolant is overdue for a change, has been contaminated, or isn’t at the right ratio, you are running the risk of frozen liquid in your cooling system. This is bad for several reasons; best-case scenario, the ice doesn’t break anything - it will however block coolant passages, causing your car to overheat in a matter of minutes. Worst case scenario, you’re looking at cracked heads, a busted radiator, or a cracked block. A little ice in the system could easily end up costing you a new engine overnight.

As you dust off the heater, you are also releasing everything that has settled or built up in the heater core into the cooling system. This can cause blockage in your radiator, causing your car to overheat, or clog your heater core, leaving you without heat in your vehicle.

A coolant flush will fix, avoid, or correct all these problems and keep you reliably on the road. Besides, during a flush, your technician gets a chance to inspect your old coolant - giving them a good sense of the running condition of your vehicle and allowing them to catch small problems before they become big ones.
