What Does Coolant Service Include?

A coolant system flush (sometimes called a radiator flush) helps remove old, contaminated coolant along with rust, scale, and sediment. At Montrose CDJR, coolant service typically includes:

• Draining old coolant from the radiator and engine block
• Inspecting hoses, seals, and clamps for wear or leaks
• Refilling with high-quality or OEM-approved coolant
• Pressure testing the cooling system
• Checking the radiator, water pump, and thermostat for proper function
• Reviewing maintenance intervals for future service

Drivers who bring their vehicle for coolant service often pair it with other diagnostics such as engine diagnostics or A/C repair to ensure both heating and cooling components are functioning properly.

Signs Your Vehicle May Need Coolant Service

Your vehicle may require coolant maintenance sooner than expected if you experience the following:

• Temperature gauge running hotter than normal
• Visible coolant leaks under the vehicle
• Sweet smell (ethylene glycol) inside or outside the cabin
• Steam from under the hood
• Heater not blowing warm air
• Aging coolant (brown, rusty, or cloudy)

A quick visit to our service department allows our team to inspect your system and recommend the correct service. Ignoring cooling system issues can lead to overheating, warped engine components, or even full engine failure, so early diagnosis is key.

Why Coolant Service Matters

Coolant plays several crucial roles beyond simply preventing overheating. It:

• Regulates engine temperature in hot and cold conditions
• Prevents corrosion within the cooling system
• Lubricates the water pump
• Prevents freezing in low temperatures
• Helps maintain emissions control components

If you recently purchased a vehicle from our used cars under $20K, used cars under $25K, or used truck inventory, scheduling coolant service can help establish a reliable maintenance baseline.

When Should You Replace Your Coolant?

Most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles recommend coolant replacement every 100,000 miles or five years, but local driving conditions can accelerate wear. Frequent towing, short trips, or long periods of idling can cause coolant to break down faster. Our trained advisors can review your model’s recommended interval and your driving habits to create a custom maintenance plan.

Many customers pair this service with upcoming milestone maintenance such as mechanic inspection, battery replacement, or vehicle inspections.
