Here Is What You Get

Every cooling system service, done completely.

Engine coolant is a mixture of water and chemicals that regulates your engine's operating temperature and prevents it from overheating. Keeping the system that circulates it sealed, filled, and flowing is what keeps that heat under control — so we check the whole system, not just the level in the tank.

Why It Matters

Why is your low coolant level light on when you don't have any visible leaks?

Coolant, like most fluids, tends to respond to temperature changes by expanding as it gets warmer and contracting in volume when colder. Most expansion tanks have a minimum and a maximum level indicator on their side. On cold mornings, coolant levels will be in the minimum range; as the coolant temperature rises to its operating range, the level increases to the “max” line.

Over time, the process of expansion, contraction, and evaporation may cause the level to drop below the minimum, in which case you need to top it up. However, when you have to top off the coolant once a month — or once a week — that is a tell-tale sign of a slow coolant leak somewhere in the system.

A small amount of seepage through a gasket or a leaky hose may not show coolant on your garage floor, but it will eventually cause a problem.

Frequently Asked

Answers to common cooling system questions.

My low coolant light is on but there's nothing on the driveway. Why?
A small amount of seepage through a gasket or a leaky hose may never show coolant on your garage floor, but it will eventually cause a problem. That's the most common explanation for a light with no visible puddle.
How often is too often to top up coolant?
Some drop over time is normal — expansion, contraction, and evaporation all play a part. But if you're topping off once a month, or once a week, that's a tell-tale sign of a slow leak somewhere in the system.
Why does the level change between morning and afternoon?
Coolant expands as it warms and contracts as it cools. On cold mornings the level sits in the minimum range; once the coolant reaches operating temperature it rises toward the max line on the expansion tank.
Does coolant colour matter?
The differences between coolant types run far deeper than colour, and assuming they're interchangeable can set you up for a major headache. We cover it in what color coolant for your European car?
What happens if I ignore it?
With insufficient coolant to regulate its temperature, an engine can quickly overheat — and an overheating engine becomes increasingly susceptible to damage. A cooling system repair is far cheaper than what follows it.
Do I need an appointment?
We recommend one. Schedule online at whichever location is closer to you, or call the shop directly: Plano at (972) 867-7467, White Rock at (214) 320-8280.

I recently took my car to Auto Scope European Car Care, and I can't say enough about how amazing the service was. From the moment I called for a quote, David, who assisted me, was incredible. He provided excellent communication every step of the way, from the initial phone call to the in-person drop-off.

We recently moved from Austin and were looking for a reliable, honest place to take our temperamental BMW and Audi. From the first visit we clearly understood why Autoscope has won multiple awards for integrity. We feel very taken care of here — they are quick, communicative and trustworthy.
