Coolant Flushing and Service in Avondale, AZ at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale

Around your scheduled maintenance intervals, at 30, 60, or 90,000 miles, our technicians at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale may recommend a coolant flush to prevent the antifreeze in your vehicle from reaching its expiration point and losing its potency. In addition to preventing your engine from overheating on a hot Arizona summer day, the coolant in your engine can also help prevent corrosion buildup, which is why the levels of antifreeze in your car should always maintain a certain level of freshness so that it can do its job adequately. When you schedule coolant service here at our dealership in Avondale, AZ, you are ensuring that your vehicle maintains a healthy level of fresh coolant to keep the engine at a stable temperature and prevent corrosion. Schedule a coolant service appointment today here at Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Avondale.

When Does Coolant Expire?

The MOPAR antifreeze of your Chrysler or Jeep expires around 60,000 miles, which is when most technicians will recommend a flushing. The antifreeze of your car is comprised of the chemicals themselves diluted with water.

What Are Some Signs Coolant Needs Filling/Replacing?

When your coolant needs service it will dilute to the point where it loses effectiveness. This presents itself through frequent overheating, a steam emanating from under the hood, or a hissing noise like steam escaping from a pipe. The biggest sign of expired coolant is the temperature gauge on your car, truck, or SUV reaching a dangerous level.

How Long Can One Drive with Expired Coolant/No Coolant?

Some may choose to put ordinary distilled water in the tank in place of coolant or drive without it on a cooler day in Avondale. This is highly discouraged by our service team as plain water can only keep your engine cool for a few miles ("just to get it home") while driving with no coolant at all can cause air bubbles in your engine and excessive corrosion, both of which can lead to long-term damage.

Schedule a Coolant Flush Today

Your coolant should undergo inspection, if not replacement, once every 30,000 miles,. So when your new Chrysler or Jeep reaches critical milestones such as these, schedule a service appointment and bring it in to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep in Avondale, AZ today.
