Coolant Service at Tuffy Fort Myers (Daniels Pkwy)

October 16, 2022

Fort Myers residents' vehicles have to operate in a wide range of Florida temperatures which requires the engine coolant to be able to perform 'no matter what.' Think for a moment about the environment where the coolant does its thing. Very hot, high pressure, corrosive...

And all the while, it has to protect the components of the cooling system from corrosion. These components are made from steel and aluminum, plastics and rubber. The coolant has to be formulated to protect against corrosion for all of these different materials. That's why vehicle manufacturer’s recommend different types of anti-freeze for our Fort Myers, Florida, vehicles.

There are several different 'families' of anti-freeze available to us here in Fort Myers. Your owner's manual will tell you what kind you should use. Of course, the automotive professionals at Tuffy Fort Myers (Daniels Pkwy) will know the right kind for your vehicle.

It's important to stay on top of this because coolant system failure is the most common mechanical problem people have here in Fort Myers, Florida. Regular service needs to be done at Tuffy Fort Myers (Daniels Pkwy) to avoid failures and also to keep your warranty in place.
