Car-X Tire & Auto recommend having your coolant system professionally inspected at least once a year. A flush and fill is a critical part of routine maintenance, and your Car-X Man is just the guy to do it!
Understanding how the radiator works…
The job of your radiator is to keep coolant flowing throughout your engine. If there’s a block or a leak, your engine can quickly overheat and your vehicle will break down.
Coolant leaks are caused by cracked or ill-fitting hoses or a hole in the radiator itself. Radiator metal is thin and easily damaged, but the number one cause of coolant leaks is corrosion.
Antifreeze (coolant) is very caustic. Left in the radiator for too long, it will begin to corrode the metal, and cause a potentially disastrous leak. If any coolant leaks are detected, they should be repaired or replaced immediately.
The number one cause of corrosion is a lack of routine maintenance. That’s why it’s so important to see your Car-X Man on a regular basis.
Keep the coolant flowing and your car going.

Car-X recommends getting new tires every 30,000 or 40,000 miles. If your tire tread is at 4/32 of an inch, it is a good time to consider getting new tires. Anything less and the tire is considered “bald,” and legally worn out in most states.
