Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my car overheating?
Common causes include low coolant level, a stuck thermostat, a failing water pump, a clogged radiator, a broken fan, or a blown head gasket. Our cooling system diagnostic identifies the exact cause.
How often should coolant be flushed?
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant flush every 30,000-50,000 miles or every 3-5 years. Using the wrong coolant type or neglecting flushes can lead to corrosion and overheating.
Can I just add water to my radiator?
In an emergency, yes. But water alone doesn't provide the corrosion protection, boiling point increase, and freezing point decrease that proper coolant/antifreeze provides. Always use the recommended coolant mixture.
