Why is a Coolant Flush Important?

The coolant flush ensures that the temperature of your car engine can be adequately regulated. It’s a good idea to perform a radiator flush at the required intervals to remove the contaminated fluid and replace it with clean types of coolant. By doing so, you help avoid more costly repairs down the road and keep your engine efficient. Schedule your next service at Spitzer CDJR Homestead in Florida.

What’s Included with Coolant Service?

When you bring your vehicle to us for a coolant flush, we go beyond the basics. Sure, we drain the radiator and engine of old, contaminated coolant, but we also flush out the entire system. Otherwise, there’s no way to ensure that all of the radiator fluid has been removed. With this old fluid often comes chemical buildup and other harmful contaminants that could hurt the engine.

Once we have removed the old fluid, we perform an entire inspection of the system. We check the radiator cap, rubber hoses, water pump and hose clamps to ensure everything is working as it should. If anything needs to be replaced during the coolant flush, we can do it now before the problems become worse. Depending on the situation, we might also use special conditioners in your vehicle to increase the effectiveness and life of the coolant. These additives help prevent corrosion and rust, leading to longer engine life. Finally, we refill the system with the proper amount of coolant.

When Should I Have the Coolant Flushed?

Most vehicle manufacturers recommend having the fluid flushed every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. While you can purchase a coolant flush kit and do it yourself, the dealership can often get the radiator cleaner and in better condition than you can at your home garage. Of course, you can expect to pay more at our Service Center, but protecting your engine is worth the expense.

How much is the typical coolant flush cost? The average cost depends on how many gallons of coolant are needed and if any additional work must be performed. In many cases, the cost of a coolant service is comparable to that found at the independent shops, but you are dealing with factory-certified technicians when you visit us. Wouldn’t you rather take your vehicle where it can be dealt with by experts?
