Quickly find and book Smart Coolant Change in Liverpool

What is a coolant change?

Coolant is a special liquid, also called antifreeze, which keeps your engine cool by removing excess heat through the radiator. Essentially, it is a chemical solution which doesn't freeze in cold climates. Over time, this liquid will gradually get used up, and so it should be checked on a frequent basis - every 3 to 6 months.

In addition, coolant contains corrosion inhibitors that protect the metal, plastic and rubber in the cooling system from corroding in the presence of hot water.

So engine coolant does at least three different things! It helps transfer heat away from your engine, to the radiator; it prevents the cooling system freezing in very cold conditions; and it helps protect the whole cooling system from the corrosive effects of the hot water in it.

About Smart

Smart Automobile is a company headquartered in Böblingen, Germany, that has marketed a range of microcar and subcompact vehicles. Marketed in 46 countries across Asia, North and South America, Africa, Australia and Europe, the design concept for the company's automobiles was first developed at Mercedes in the early 1970s and in the late 1980s. It was quite a lengthy gestation period, and the first model was finally launched by Daimler-Benz in 1998. Several variants on the original design have been introduced, with the original two-seater (called the Fortwo) now in its third generation and the Smart now being available as a fully electric offering.

The brand name Smart derives from its early cooperative studies with Swatch and Mercedes: Swatch Mercedes ART - although we have to say, it does make it a bit difficult to search online with a name like that! Overall, it is a very specialised company that builds ultra-compact cars, designed to carry up to four passengers through congested city streets with ease.

Driving in Liverpool

From its 18th century status as the Empire’s second city to the urban deprivation and economic malaise of the post-war period, Liverpool has had its fair share of highs and lows. This irrepressible city has bounced back with style to become the thriving and charismatic place it is today, reflected by a stint as European Capital of Culture in 2008.
