Flushing Your Engine Cooling System and Refilling it with Fresh Antifreeze
If you have tested your coolant with the pH Test, and you find that your coolant needs replacing, or if you want to experiment with some new coolant in your vehicle, 12th Street Auto Care Center can clean your engine cooling system before filling it up with fresh coolant.
Our ASE-certified mechanics recommend you replace old engine coolant the minute you realize it’s old. Flushing and replacing the coolant in your car, truck, van or SUV’s cooling system should be done by experienced, professional auto mechanics, like those at our local Sioux Falls, SD auto repair shop.
We use a special machine to powerfully flush out any rust, sludge, crud and grime that might have accumulated in your engine cooling system over the years, due to the breaking down of the coolant. Also, by cleaning out the old cooling system antifreeze, the new coolant you add will be fresh and useful.
If mixed new and old antifreeze, your coolant’s usefulness could diminish significantly and potentially cause damage to your vehicle’s cooling system or engine. Once it is all cleaned out, it is ready to be refilled. If you combined new and old antifreeze, we recommend a complete coolant system power flush and refill, because it is the best way to clean out your engine cooling system and ensure its longevity.
