What are the Benefits of Coolant Flush Service?

Just like routine maintenance, coolant flush service is essential to ensure your engine does not run hot. While engine oil gets sludgy and filled with particles over time, the same happens to engine coolant. In fact, engine coolant can become acidic, which could ultimately break down the aluminum components of your engine, the rubber hoses and the water pump.

Especially during hot weather, this build-up can inhibit how the cooling system works and could lead to costly repairs if you don’t schedule coolant flush service.

When our service team performs a coolant fluid exchange, we flush out the old, dirty fluid and check for a coolant antifreeze leak. This system flush will also reveal if coolant leak repair is necessary. We also perform a thorough inspection of all working parts of your system, including the heater core and hose clamps.

What are Signs I Need Coolant Leak Repair?

Your engine relies on a cooling system that is operating efficiently. And, coolant leak repair and coolant fluid exchanges at Spitzer Kia Cleveland help to ensure this happens. On average, vehicle manufacturers recommend cooling flush service every 30,000 miles. However, there may be some signs and symptoms you notice in between service visits that can affect this timeline for service.

For example, if you notice that your temperature gauge is running hot or smoke or steam is pouring out from under the hood, the service team at Spitzer Kia Cleveland recommends scheduling coolant flush service or a coolant fluid exchange right away. Additional signs that you need coolant flush service is when your check engine light illuminates or when you notice an odd odor from the engine.

The most obvious sign that you need coolant leak repair is when pools of orange or green liquid are found underneath your vehicle when it has been idling. Our team is here to help with coolant flush service that can help you avoid costly repairs in the future.
