A full radiator flush can help you get your radiator ready for the winter. In the cooler months of autumn and winter, your car's radiator is central to it’s smooth function, so prevention is better than cure. Water pumps are vulnerable to rust and corrosion, so it's important to take precautions now, before the weather becomes worse. Finally, you should take action to prevent leaks. Avoid the stress of finding a huge leak on your commute to work on a cold winter morning by taking this easy precaution now.
