Coolant Fluid Flush Services At Sweat Tire & Automotive
Your vehicle’s cooling system plays a vital role in keeping your engine running at the right temperature. Over time, engine coolant breaks down and loses its effectiveness, which can lead to overheating, corrosion, and even costly repairs. At Sweat Tire & Automotive, with 10 convenient locations in and around Baldwin County, AL, we provide professional coolant flush services to keep your vehicle performing at its best.
Why A Coolant Flush Is Important
Your cooling system regulates the temperature of your car’s engine. As you run the engine, heat builds up, and the radiator cools it down with the help of fresh engine coolant. However, over time, coolant can become contaminated with dirt, rust, and debris. This buildup reduces efficiency and can cause problems like:
- Overheating when your car overheats during long drives or hot weather
- Corrosion inside the coolant system, damaging parts like the water pump
- Clogged radiator fluid pathways, causing reduced performance
- Potential leaks that could lead to expensive repairs
A regular coolant flush replaces old fluid with fresh coolant, ensuring your vehicle stays protected and your cooling system works properly.
Signs You Need A Coolant Flush
Not sure when to flush your radiator? Your vehicle may be giving you warning signs:
- The temperature gauge is rising higher than normal
- Coolant leaks under the vehicle
- Visible rust or debris inside the radiator cap area
- Overheating or frequent car overheating situations
- Strange smells are coming from the coolant system
For specific intervals, always refer to your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommendations on when to service the coolant system.
