Express Lube & Smog: Coolant Services
Coolant, also called antifreeze, is a specially formulated liquid that circulates through your engine to regulate temperature. It absorbs excess heat from the engine and disperses it through the radiator, preventing overheating.
Coolant also protects your engine from freezing in cold weather and prevents corrosion inside your engine and radiator components. Essentially, it keeps your engine running smoothly, efficiently, and safely under all conditions

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get my coolant checked or changed?
Most manufacturers recommend a coolant service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but it can vary depending on your vehicle and driving conditions. Our technicians can inspect your system and advise the right interval.
What happens if I don’t change my coolant?
Old or low coolant can lead to engine overheating, corrosion, and potential damage to your radiator and engine components. Regular coolant service helps prevent costly repairs.
Can I mix different types of coolant?
No. Different coolant types have specific chemical formulations. Mixing them can reduce effectiveness and may cause damage. Our team ensures your system is filled with the correct coolant type.
How long does a coolant service take?
Most coolant services take about 30–60 minutes, depending on whether a system flush is needed. We aim to get you back on the road quickly.

It’s not recommended. Driving with low or degraded coolant can cause overheating and serious engine damage. If you notice low coolant, it’s best to have it serviced immediately.
