Kia Coolant Service in Highland Park, IL
For those that are cruising through the streets of Highland Park in a Kia vehicle, we at McGrath Kia of Highland Park have decided to take the time to explain what a coolant flush is, and why you might need to get one soon. Keep reading for all the details, and be sure to contact us at your earliest convenience!
Coolant
We’ll start by explaining what coolant is. This liquid is designed to keep your powertrain from getting too hot. It does this by circulating through the system and absorbing any excess heat that may have been produced as you make your way down Park Avenue West. This fluid also works to help prevent your set of wheels from becoming too cold, which is why it is sometimes also referred to as antifreeze. It can come in a myriad of colors, but it’s important to know that this has no real effect on the quality of the coolant. You’ll likely need to get a coolant flush done on your auto at least once every 30,000 miles. This can vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model, so be sure to consult your Owner’s Manual for a more accurate estimate.
Coolant Flush
When it comes time for you to get a coolant flush done, we want you to be fully informed on what you can expect from us when you visit our Service Department. Our skilled and qualified technicians will start by inspecting your heating and cooling components to ensure that there aren’t any failures on that front. Next, they’ll take a look at your coolant levels to ensure that they aren’t lower than they should be. Finally, they'll swap out the fluid, in addition to removing any dirt, sludge, or buildup that may have been accumulated in your cooling system during your daily commutes down Half Day Road.
Warning Signs
We’ll bring this guide to a close by discussing some of the warning signs you can keep an eye out for while you're out and about. If you detect a sweet aroma emanating from your vehicle, this is likely a sign that your coolant has begun to leak. Are there red and oily stains underneath your vehicle? If so, then this is another strong indicator that your antifreeze is leaking. Moreover, if you notice that your vehicle temperatures are consistently outside of the norm, then it’s likely time for you to come down to our location so we can help. Don't hesitate to visit us during our open hours!
How Often Should You Get A Coolant Flush?
- You should get a coolant flush done once every 30,000 miles.

“ I’ve been eyeing the Kia Carnival Hybrid for a while now. With one child already and a second on the way, I definitely need a larger vehicle. I came across Charlie’s post on social media and reached out to him. He was incredibly patient, answering all my questions about specs and financing. I decided to meet him the next day to discuss things in person and take the car for a test drive."As we spoke, I realized he is a genuinely great person—polite and incredibly patient. He walked me through all the features and explained exactly how everything worked. I felt I could truly trust him, so I let him handle the process. He offered a price I simply couldn't refuse, and the interest rate was well within my budget. I highly recommend that everyone go to Charlie for their next car. Thank you for the excellent service today!" ”

“ Nicolas Vazquez worked to find the right car for us and get it to us in a short time frame. He was available via text when we left to work things out and matched a deal from competitor. Showed me the whole facility so it's easy when I come back for service. Clean showroom. A little small now but it's getting an addition of both showroom and service space. Friendly, easy to work with. I filled out my credit application before going in, which shortened the transaction process but I was still there 2 hours. Lots of time spent with finance person offering packages we frankly didn't want. She was friendly throughout. I'm excited about the new car-- it's super safe and fun to drive. Good experience all around. ”
“ Great dealership. Great people. Highly recommend. ”

“ My partner and I had a great experience buying our new kia k4. Jared was great explaining all the extras and giving his own opinion on them, trying to ensure we stayed within our budget. Paul was also very helpful explaining the warranty when we were meeting with the finance department. Shoutout also to Tracy for speaking with my partner on the phone yesterday and helping him out. I'm sure that we will love our new kia and I'm grateful to the staff for being patient with our little guy. ”
“ Highland park Kia is a legit place to go. I had a great experience, i unfortunately had a transmission issue and got towed to world Kia Joliet. I picked up my car from world Kia Joliet when they told me it was repaired. When I picked up the car from world Kia Joliet, the car was making noises so I took it to highland park Kia. Highland park Kia, showed me the faulty work that world Kia Joliet did and sent me a video on the issues. This was very helpful and helped me out. In my experience, McGrath Kia of Highland Park is a business of integrity, and puts their customers first. I would recommend McGrath to anyone for their service needs. ”
