Antifreeze & Coolant

Antifreeze and Coolant

Antifreeze and coolants play an integral role in regulating the core temperature of your vehicle's engine. A coolant flush and fill is a maintenance must that can be performed in your garage or driveway. To ensure maximum performance from your vehicle's heating and cooling systems, you should keep your fluids topped off. Failing to monitor antifreeze and coolant levels can result in heads warping, blown gaskets, and engine failure.

An antifreeze and coolant flush is an involved process. Reading about the proper procedures in your owner's repair manual is imperative to ensure that it is done correctly. If you're not ready to take on the project of an antifreeze and coolant flush, you can setup an appointment at your local Pep Boy's store.
