Few things produce more anxiety than sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, or driving on a long stretch of desolate road, and watching the temperature gauge in your car creep more and more into the red. At that point, it is often too late to avoid the problem. A radiator or coolant flush from a local auto shop could have kept the temperature, and your blood pressure, at a safe level.

How could a quick stop at a car repair shop like Stillwater Auto Clinic have kept you on the road and on your way? Let’s consider what’s going on under the hood. While you drive, a pump circulates the antifreeze and water mixture your car’s radiator and engine. After the coolant goes through the engine, it is pumped into the radiator. The radiator cools the mixture and sends and back into the engine. You’ll never notice this continuous cycle until something goes wrong and that dreaded temperature light blinks at you.

If your car runs low on coolant or the fluid gets dirty and broken down from heat or miles driven, your engine can get too hot. Flushing your cooling system removes and dust, dirt and sludge from your radiator and replaces the coolant mixture. This makes your engine less likely to overheat and decreases your chances of being stranded.

A cooling system flush is a simple, necessary procedure, and it can be done at your convenience at Stillwater Auto Clinicin Stillwater, MN.
