Your coolant system is similar to your air conditioning as they both cool things down.
However, the difference is that your coolant is not cooling you down, it is actually cooling your engine down and preventing it from overheating.
The coolant service here at Suntrup Kia has some pretty beneficial attributes.
Those attributes include: prevention of engine overheating, leaks from underneath the vehicle, leaking heater core (coolant leaking into the passenger side), corrosion, poor heater/defroster performance and lastly, it increases the performance of the vehicle, which improves its overall longevity and therefore increase the value of your vehicle!
First off, you should have your coolant changed about every 30,000 miles, but it will vary on make and model. If you are thinking back to your last coolant change and cannot remember, then it is probably time! Much like your oil, coolant gets dirty over time and needs to be swapped out for new and clean coolant. When your coolant is dirty, watch out for these warning signs: vehicle has a difficult time starting, you can smell antifreeze, vehicle overheats easily, or steam coming from under the hood.
If you notice any of the signs above it may be about time for a coolant service. If you’re not sure and want to be sure then bring your vehicle in for a multi-point inspection and we’ll set you straight. The coolant service at Suntrup Kia is top of the line and we would be ecstatic to service you.
