Coolant & Antifreeze at The Auto Clinic

Our cars must operate in a wide range of outside temperatures and our engine coolant must be able to perform no matter what. Think for a moment about the environment where the coolant works. Very hot, high pressure, corrosive...

And all the while, it must protect the components of the cooling system from corrosion. These components are made from steel and aluminum, plastics and rubber. The coolant has to be formulated to protect against corrosion for all of these different materials. That’s why different manufacturers recommend different types of anti-freeze for their vehicles.

There are several different “families” of anti-freeze. It’s important to stay on top of this because coolant system failure is the most common mechanical problem people have. Regular service needs to be done to avoid failures. Our Technicians will know what to do and how to do it!
