A coolant flush is one of the most affordable and simple ways to protect your vehicle and reduce the need for costly repairs. And Valley Chevrolet of Hastings is here to help you get the coolant flush service that will make all the difference. Learn more about this essential service and how to recognize the signs you need it at our dealership today.

Do I Need a Coolant Flush?

Your vehicle relies on coolant to keep the engine from overheating, but if the coolant system becomes polluted it can cause serious damage when left unaddressed. Here are some of the signs your vehicle needs a coolant flush.

1: Your Engine is Overheating

Since the main purpose of the coolant is to protect your vehicle from overheating, if the vehicle does begin to overheat, there’s a good chance the coolant is old or blocked.

2: Your Temperature is High

Even if you don’t notice obvious signs of engine overheating, it’s a good idea to glance down at the temperature gauge. This will give you information about the condition of the engine below the hood, so you can pull over right away.  

3: You Hear Gurgling

A gurgling sound, or knocking sound, coming from the engine often indicates that the coolant is actually trying to go back into the heater. The gurgling comes from the movement through the hoses.

4: You Smell Something Sweet

If you smell something very sweet, specifically a scent like maple syrup, coming from the hood, it’s likely leaking coolant. Since you shouldn’t drive with low coolant levels, you’ll want to pull over right away.

5: It’s Time for Regular Service

It’s a good idea to schedule a regular coolant flush for your new Chevy vehicle every 30,000 miles or two years, just to keep your car safe.

Searching “oil change near me” lately? You’ve come to the right place! Proper car maintenance, including oil changes, can help your car run more efficiently and extend its lifespan. Not only is it a quick and inexpensive task for the mechanics here at Kearny Mesa Chevrolet to handle, but it can also help you save money.  

Fresh Oil Protects Your Engine 

Over time, that oil in your engine picks up dirt and other particles that can make it less efficient and worse at its job. It’s there to protect your engine and improve its performance, but leave the same oil in there for too long and it could end up putting your engine and all of its parts at risk.  

You’re more likely to damage your engine if you skip important maintenance tasks like oil changes, and fixing engine damage is incredibly expensive! Getting the oil changed when needed can help you avoid a hefty repair bill.  

New Oil Helps Your Engine Run Efficiently 

Oil changes can also help you save because fresh engine oil helps your car run more efficiently. An engine that’s being lubricated by old oil has to work a lot harder to get you from point A to point B. This wastes gasoline and hurts your fuel economy numbers. 

We’ve all noticed the rising prices at our local gas stations in recent months. It pays to make sure that your Chevy vehicle is running as efficiently as it can.  

So don’t delay oil changes or any other routine service. If you’re in need of a mechanic or new Chevy parts, schedule an appointment at our Chevy service center in Hastings, MN today. Our factory-trained technicians are ready to help you with all of your automotive needs!
