Comprehensive Coolant System Evaluation
The radiator is the core of your vehicle’s cooling system. Responsible for reducing the heat generated from the coolant circulating through your vehicle’s cooling system, the radiator must be clean, leak free, filled with coolant and clear of blockages. Coolant that is not maintained becomes acidic over time and degrades the internals of your cooling system. This deterioration results in the structural break-down of hoses, gaskets and belts. Degraded coolant can also lead to premature water pump failure brought on by deteriorated seals. This means the leaky gasket or hose that you fix today might be the weakest of many weak points in your cooling system. Fixing these one-off leaks could just be a short term solution for a much larger problem. The good news is these issues can be avoided by performing coolant flushes at the intervals recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
Our Pep Boys professional technicians are certified to diagnose and repair many components in your cooling system including the radiator, thermostat, water pump, belts and more! Pep Boys offers a comprehensive Coolant System Evaluation designed to pinpoint any issues that may exist within this complex system and provide solutions.

Pep Boys Complete Coolant Chemical Flush and Exchange Service Package
Engine coolant provides the protection your vehicle needs to maintain its cooling system year-round. Many coolants are fabricated with additives designed to protect the system from corrosion while lubricating components and delivering engine efficiency. Our Complete Coolant Chemical Flush and Exchange Service Package will help keep your engine operating at optimal temperatures by evenly dispersing heat through the radiator, prevent rust and corrosion from forming on critical internal parts and reduce the chances of freezing and boil over in extreme weather conditions.
Flushing your coolant levels in the intervals recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer is an essential preventative maintenance measure. Over time, coolant becomes acidic leading to the structural breakdown of cooling system components. Flushing your coolant as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer helps to eliminate the potential for this structural degradation.
