Coolant Service at Tuffy Clinton Township

March 3, 2024

Clinton Township residents' vehicles have to operate in a wide range of MI 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 Clinton Township, MI, vehicles.

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