Being the occupants of 'that car' stranded on the roadside, with steam billowing from beneath the bonnet and perspiring in the blazing sun is something that no one anticipates with relish!

Cars overheating cannot be solely attributed to summer weather. Your engine generates significant heat during operation, which can cause damage to both your car and yourself. The cooling system, which includes the radiator, is responsible for dissipating this heat.

To ensure optimal performance, it is crucial to regularly maintain the cooling system. Coolant, a fluid that prevents freezing and protects against rust, is also an essential component of the system. With such an important task to undertake it pays to ensure your cooling system and the fluid are looked after.

Your manufacturer's service manual will suggest how regularly to flush your radiator system. Generally, it's advisable to flush your radiator coolant every two years or 40,000 km, whichever occurs first. However, factors like your engine type and size, local climate, the age of your existing coolant, and the total distance travelled can influence the timing for replacing your radiator's coolant.

Our fully trained and experienced mechanics will efficiently flush your radiator to eliminate any rust and debris build-up. Once the system is flushed and fresh coolant is added, your car's cooling system will perform optimally.

When you visit LeFevre Auto Repairs, you can request a complimentary Vehicle Inspection Report as part of any minor, major, or log book service. This includes an assessment of the coolant level and condition. The report will advise if we recommend a radiator flush, coolant replacement, or any repairs to ensure the safety and efficiency of your vehicle.
