Coolant Service in Yucca Valley, CA
On average, the Yucca Valley area has low temperatures that are generally above freezing even in months like November, December, January, and February. Therefore, it’s important to have quality coolant in your Jeep Grand Cherokee or Wrangler. But how do you know if the current fluid is in good condition? Our Joshua Tree CDJR team explains how optimal coolant works.
Purpose of Coolant
Coolant is one of the many essential substances that flow through the mechanical systems in vehicles. Models like the Chrysler 300 or Pacifica utilize this liquid to help keep the engine at a stable temperature. That way, parts under the hood won’t freeze or melt in the face of harsh weather and the combustible automotive process. It flows through rubber tubing that connects to a reservoir, powertrain, water pump, and radiator. The coolant system is usually filled up from the reservoir first. As the fluid flows into the network of pipes, it will begin to populate the system until it reaches a specific level. Once you’ve reached the appropriate fill line, your car, SUV, minivan, or pickup truck will be ready to traverse State Road 62.
Service Timeline
Technology has made the coolant-making process more efficient. Some coolant brands are able to last up to 10 years. However, we recommend that you have it checked every 24 months. This will inform you about the acidity level, also called corrosiveness, of the coolant. If you bring your model to us, and we discover that the substance is too acidic, our Service Department technicians will suggest that you have it changed. A fresh batch can prolong the life of parts like the water pump and radiator. It also means that you’ll reduce the risk of mechanical breakdown as you’re heading to Hi-View Trailhead.
Warning Signs
Poor coolant may not show significant problems right away. It can have a sweet smell when your air conditioning is running. The coolant may be corrosive. If there’s a leak underneath the vehicle, check the color of the liquid. Does it match the coolant? In the event that it does, it could be that the water pump seal is failing or the radiator has a pinhole. These are signs that the coolant has become corrosive. Is your Dodge Hornet or Durango engine heating up too quickly? A model that’s low on coolant can rapidly get hotter while it’s idling or accelerating. To avoid significant problems with your vehicle, schedule an appointment online.
When Should You Receive a Coolant Flush?
- It's recommended to get a coolant flush every two years.

First Vehicle Purchase
“ This is my first time I purchase a car. Since I called the dealer Geroge was the person who helped me. He was very patient and very kind. I drove about two hours to get there. When I got there the car was washed , shiny and ready to test drive. As soon as I drove it, I was ready to take it. I went there with the mentality of $400 payment but the boss man helped me w the warranty to get a great price. The process was easy and I drove home with my new car and that same weekend we took my new car on a family road trip to Vegas. Thank you all at the dealer for making me complete my first car purchase. I even got a picture with a bow! I couldn't miss that. ”
Great Job Turning This Around
“ Russel was my salesman. When he asked what vehicle I was interested in I told him the white Dodge 2500 diesel pick up. Russel showed me some of the options on the truck and the miles on the odometer. Russel also informed me that the batteries were low from sitting. The truck was so clean and I could tell it was well cared for. It was a 2018 model and looked new. I let him know I would be back the next day with my trade in vehicle and he let me know the batteries would be charged and I could drive it when I returned. Russel then introduced me to his boss James “JC” Cervantes. Russel and James were very thorough about telling me about the Cummins Diesel that the truck came with and it’s pulling power. I had told them that my wife and I had recently purchased a new RV travel trailer for our retirement. I came back the next day and drove the truck and fell in love. Russel and James bent over backwards making me a great deal and trade in price for my old truck. Russel, James, and Michelle were very polite and nice. I would highly recommend Joshua Tree Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to family and friends. ”
