Imagine noticing that the engine temperature on your dashboard is rising above normal or that the coolant level is constantly dropping. This is a sign that it's time to take care of the cooling system. Our team will quickly and carefully perform a Coolant Replacement to ensure your engine doesn't overheat and lasts a long time. We will thoroughly drain the old fluid, flush the system if necessary, and refill it with fresh coolant to prevent corrosion and engine malfunctions.
When Should You Replace the Coolant?
- Engine temperature rises above 90 degrees
- Coolant level is constantly dropping without visible leaks
- Rust or sediment is visible in the system
- Fluid has changed color and become cloudy
- An unpleasant smell is coming from under the hood
- Engine overheats in hot weather or freezes in winter
- More than 3 years or 60,000 kilometers have passed since the last replacement
- Temperature gauge on the dashboard frequently spikes
How We Perform Coolant Replacement
- Remove the cap from the expansion tank or radiator
- Drain the old coolant through the drain plug or the lowest point of the system
- Flush the system with distilled water if necessary
- Replace the drain plug gasket to prevent leaks
- Fill with new coolant of the appropriate type

- Add coolant to the required level and bleed air from the system
Additional Information About the Service
Timely Coolant Replacement is an important part of maintaining your vehicle, helping to avoid serious engine and cooling system failures. Over time, the coolant loses its protective properties, becomes less effective at cooling, and can lead to rust and scale buildup inside the system. We offer a comprehensive range of services for coolant replacement that ensures safe and reliable operation of your engine.
Preparation and Diagnosis of the System's Condition
First, we open the cap of the expansion tank or radiator and check the level and condition of the coolant. We pay attention to the color and the presence of foreign particles. If we see rust or sediment, we recommend flushing the system with water. We also check the condition of the drain plug gasket to prevent leaks after replacement.
Replacement Process and System Flushing
Next, we carefully drain the old coolant through the drain plug at the lowest point of the system. If necessary, we flush the system with distilled water to remove any remaining dirt and scale. After that, we replace the drain plug gasket and fill with new coolant suitable for your vehicle. We ensure that the coolant is fresh and properly mixed, which is crucial for protecting the engine.
Checking and Starting the Engine
After filling, we start the engine and warm it up to operating temperature, usually around 80-90 degrees. This helps the coolant distribute evenly throughout the system and removes any possible air bubbles. We then top off the coolant to the required level and check the operation of the cooling system. If necessary, we eliminate air pockets to prevent overheating and future issues.
