Engine coolant plays a very important roll in the overall function of your vehicle. The engine coolant helps to keep your engine from overheating. An engine that overheats causes real problems. You can run into serious issues when your engine overheats. A cooling system flush is a process that removes the engine coolant and replaces it with new coolant. There are many important reasons you want to have a cooling system flush done on your vehicle. Our top five reasons to have a cooling system flush are:

1. Water Pump – Your water pump will have a longer lifespan with the additional additives in the new coolant.
2. No Contaminants – Over time coolant loses important properties that help to keep corrosion at bay. Without these anti-corrosive properties, harmful particles can enter the coolant and cause serious issues for your vehicle.
3. Acidity – If coolant is used for too long in a vehicle, it will become acidic. Acidic coolant can damage the bearing in the water pump.
4. Inspection – During your cooling system flush, your entire cooling system will be inspected. This is important to prevent issues down the road.
5. Removes Build Up – When your coolant is flushed, you are also removing harmful deposits and rust and preventing serious damage to your cooling system.  

It is recommended to have your cooling system flushed once a year to keep your vehicle running smoothly. If it is time for your cooling system flush, then give us a call at Country Town Auto & Service Center.
