Holiday Travel Is Here, Is Your Vehicle Ready?
December 1, 2024Winter is on the horizon, bringing plummeting temperatures, icy roads, and the need to keep your vehicle in top condition. One crucial aspect of winter vehicle maintenance is the health of your cooling system. At Flash Automotive, we’re here to help you prepare for the season with a professional anti-freeze flush and fill service.
Why Your Cooling System Matters in Winter
Your vehicle’s cooling system plays a vital role in regulating engine temperature, regardless of the season. During winter, anti-freeze (or coolant) becomes especially important, as it prevents water in your engine from freezing and causing costly damage.
An anti-freeze flush and fill ensures your cooling system is clean, free of contaminants, and filled with the right mixture of coolant to handle freezing temperatures. Here’s why this service should be a top priority as winter approaches:
1. Prevents Engine Freezing
Without sufficient anti-freeze, water in your engine can freeze and expand, potentially cracking your engine block or radiator. These kinds of repairs can be expensive and time-consuming. A fresh supply of anti-freeze offers reliable protection against freezing, even in sub-zero conditions.
2. Avoids Engine Overheating
While it might seem counterintuitive, engines can still overheat during winter. A poorly maintained cooling system may struggle to regulate temperature, especially if it’s clogged with rust or debris. An anti-freeze flush ensures proper flow, keeping your engine cool and efficient.
3. Reduces Corrosion and Wear
Old or dirty coolant becomes acidic over time and promotes corrosive damage inside your cooling system, targeting your radiator, water pump, and internal engine components. Flushing out the old fluid and replenishing it with fresh coolant helps prevent this wear, extending the life of your vehicle.
What Happens During an Anti-Freeze Flush and Fill?
At Flash Automotive, our anti-freeze flush and fill service is more than just a fluid replacement—it’s a thorough maintenance process to care for your entire cooling system. Here’s what we do:
- Inspect the Cooling System
We check for leaks, damage, or worn-out cooling system components to ensure all parts are functioning properly. Including hoses and connections.
- Flush Out the Old Coolant
Using specialized equipment, we remove old coolant along with any contaminants, rust, or debris lingering in your system.
- Refill with Fresh Anti-Freeze
We add the appropriate type and mixture of anti-freeze for your vehicle’s make and model. This ensures optimal performance and protection in cold weather.
- Pressure Test
Once the fluid flush and fill are complete, we test the system to confirm it can maintain proper pressure, preventing leaks or failures down the road.
