Cooling System Flush
When testing your coolant we use test strips to evaluate the condition.
We measure 3 things:
- Temperature protection
- Alkalinity level
- PH level
If any of these levels are not with-in specifications we recommend performing a BG cooling system flush. This will extend the life of your cooling system, radiator, water pump, radiator hoses, heater hoses, and heater core.
