🔧 What is Coolant Service?

Coolant service typically involves draining the old coolant, flushing the system to remove debris and contaminants, and refilling it with fresh, high-quality coolant. This process helps maintain your vehicle’s cooling system efficiency, keeping your engine from overheating and preventing costly repairs down the road.

Coolant services at Sal’s include:

  • Coolant flush to clear out old, contaminated coolant

  • Radiator inspection to check for leaks, cracks, or blockages

  • Thermostat testing to ensure it’s functioning properly

  • Hose and belt inspection to check for wear and tear

  • Refilling with the correct type of coolant for your vehicle


Why is Coolant Service Important?

  • Prevent Overheating: Over time, coolant breaks down and can lose its ability to absorb heat. A fresh coolant flush keeps the engine cool and running smoothly.

  • Extend Engine Life: Proper cooling system maintenance helps prevent corrosion and buildup inside the engine, which can lead to expensive repairs.

  • Improve Heating System: Your vehicle’s heating system relies on coolant to warm the cabin, and a properly maintained system ensures effective heat distribution in colder months.


🚗 Common Signs You Need Coolant Service:

  • The check engine light or temperature gauge indicates high engine temperature.

  • You notice leaks underneath your vehicle, especially orange or green fluid (coolant).

  • The heater isn’t working properly or producing weak heat.

  • Your car starts to overheat, or you see steam coming from under the hood.

I take both my cars for regular service to Sal’s. My 2006 Acura is approaching 200,000 miles and just passed inspection again thanks to their great work. Services have included oil changes, door locks, halogen bulb replacement, headlight cleaning, inspection, brakes, AC compressor, spark plugs, tires, motor mounts, bearings, timing belts, and much more. Service is fast usually in a day (a couple if a part is needed) and affordable. I recommend Sal’s over the dealership any day. They keep a clean shop and are knowledgeable about all sorts of problems.” – Chad M.

Brought my Cadillac to Sal’s for an issue I wasn’t quite able to identify. There’s a few things you need in a good mechanic. Understanding of cars is the baseline. But fast and clear communication, staying on schedule, and being kind to your wallet (rather than running up costs) all play significant factors. Sal’s hit every aspect. Very grateful to have a good shop to rely on!” – David B.
