The older antifreeze in cars used to be recommended to be replaced every year. Now most manufacturers say every five years or 60,000 miles, some manufacturers actually recommend replacing it after that every 30,000 miles. Coolant now, where antifreeze comes in various colors. It used to always be green. Now it can be orange, pink, blue, green, yellow, or even clear. The reasons to replace your antifreeze are many. It becomes acidic with time. If it becomes acidic, it can start to rust inside parts like your thermostat, your radiator, your water p It also loses its strength so it doesn't cool properly, causing the car to overheat. We can use a tool We also have test trips to check the acidic level of it. We recommend a flush that includes a system cleaner That'll help prolong the life of the coolant flush. You don't want to do damage to your water p By flus If you just drain the system, you wouldn't replace all the fluid that's in the engine. T Don't forget, every car that gets serviced in the month of April is going to get entered into a drawing for a free care detail. If you have any questions, give us a call. Thanks for coming by.
