Car Cooling System Radiators Bondi Junction Eastern Suburbs

Coolants Ain’t  Coolants

Twenty one years ago when I bought Gil Auto Bondi Junction (previously Safer Brakes) if a mechanical workshop stocked 5 different chemical coolants it would have been enough to service most vehicle's radiators.

Today we stock over 20 different chemical coolants to cater for all the various makes we service. After flushing incorrect radiator coolants we re-fill the radiator with the manufacuter's specified coolant.

Not all chemical coolants are compatible with each other.

Mixing different types can have disastrous consequences on you radiator and engine.
Modern cars especially the European vehicles are using unique chemical coolants specified by their makers. Unless the correct chemical coolants is used the warranty would be voided.  
 
The function of chemical coolant added to the cooling system radiator are complex chemicals liquid which help prevent freezing in cold climates, so that cars can operate in sub zero temperatures, and boil at a higher temperature.
