Testing Coolant Antifreeze

Austin Davis, September 25, 2013

Did you get an oil change today and were told by the mechanic that you need to have your radiator flushed out and new coolant added? How did they know that or are they just guessing hoping you would buy the additional sale?

Let’s hope they are honest, and actually tested your coolant condition. Just so you know how they did it (or should have tested it) I made this short video so you can test it yourself and make sure the repair is actually needed.

Take a watch, I am sure it will help you. Please leave comments or questions below this page, and like me on Facebook or Twitter…it might help the next person as well.

Blessings,
Austin Davis
