Reviews Summary
AI Generated
Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with many customers praising friendly, knowledgeable staff, clear communication (especially the MOT videos), reliable repairs, quick turnarounds and convenient collection/drop‑off. A minority, however, flag issues with pricing transparency, unexpected or inflated charges, occasional poor workmanship or rudeness and limited parking at the site. Most people say they would return or recommend the garage, but several ask for clearer cost communication and more consistent staff helpfulness.
What is coolant?
Coolant is a specially-formulated chemical liquid, commonly known as antifreeze, that circulates through a car’s engine. It removes excess heat from a car’s engine by passing it through the car’s radiator. Furthermore, the solution contains inhibitors that protect the metal, plastic and rubber in the cooling system from corrosion. And, as the name antifreeze suggests, it also doesn’t freeze up in bitterly cold conditions, so it plays an important role in a car all year long.
Why is changing the coolant important?
You should book a coolant change frequently, at least every 2 years. Low coolant can cause overheating, which would have serious implications for other components on the car. Even though coolant can leak and evaporate over time, in many cars it often looks as though the coolant never needs changing because its level seems to stay the same. However, draining and flushing the coolant system, including the radiator, at least once a year is important. Flushing pushes out all the old coolant, debris from corrosion and scale. If left in the engine, it may become clogged up, potentially causing extensive damage.
How is a coolant change done?
Before a mechanic drains the cooling system, he might add coolant cleaner to the coolant and then start the engine, depending on what the manufacturer specifies. After the car has run for a while, he would turn it off and drain it. He would then add water to flush it and drain it again, twice, before finally putting in the fresh coolant.
What are the possible signs that a car needs a coolant change?
- When a car’s maintenance or engine temperature light illuminates on its dashboard.
- If the car’s engine starts running at a higher temperature than usual, signifying that the engine is overheating.
How long does a coolant change take?
- Approximately 1 hour.
How much does a coolant change cost?
- Up to £50.
What do you need from your garage?
We all have different needs, and choosing a garage is no different. For some of us, it’s the quality of the overall service which matters most; not just the work that’s done under the bonnet, but the human interaction that comes with it. BookMyGarage allows you to compare Corby garages on everything from their waiting room refreshments or whether having your toddler in tow is going to be a problem, to how clearly the staff can explain the work your car requires.
