What is the cooling system flush all about?

Your cooling system is what keeps your car from overheating. It works by circulating a mixture of water and coolant through the engine. Over time the coolant mixture becomes contaminated with scale and rust, which can clog and damage the cooling system components. A cooling system flush essentially flushes out the entire system of contaminants and replaces the coolant mixture with fresh coolant and water.

Keep in mind:

Your mechanic will drain the fluid, clean the system with coolant cleaner, and use water to remove the remaining coolant. After cleaning the system, the mechanic will fill it up with new coolant. This process is effective and an approved industry method of flushing your vehicle’s cooling system.

How it's done:

Install flush chemical to radiator
Bring the car to operating temperature
Drain the old coolant
Close valve and refill with water
Repeat the process
Fill radiator with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water
Check for leaks and fan operation

Our recommendation:

Some vehicles are equipped with a low coolant sensing system. Should this light come on, have your vehicle inspected for leaks or other possible causes for the low coolant level.
Follow the service maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer to get the coolant replaced at regular intervals. In general, it is a good practice to change the coolant every 40,000-50,000 miles.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to flush the cooling system?

Check Engine warning light is on
Low Coolant warning light is on
Engine is overheating

How important is this service?

A cooling system flush is an important part of preventative maintenance and helps to keep your car healthy and on the road.

Kia Spectra L4-2.0L - Cooling System Flush - Garland, Texas

Lee showed up right on time and right off the bat I knew it was a good decision to try YourMechanic. Lee was extremely friendly and informative. But most importantly, he was honest. Nice to have a mechanic who doesn't give you the run around and tack on extra charges that aren't necessary. Book with him, you won't be sorry.

Kia Spectra L4-2.0L - Cooling System Flush - Saint Louis, Missouri

For starters, I really wish Luke was with me when I bought my car. He would have told me not to buy it and the dealership lied when the said they had fixed everything. They "fixed" My radiator with stop leak. Luke changed out the radiator after he did a flush. All I can day is YUCK! He had all the work done fast and made it look easy. He cleans up after himself and even found the bolt that my hubby lost to anchor down the battery my hubby changed out. My car is running great. No overheating. Thanks, Luke!
