When should you check your coolant?

No matter what the weather is outside, you need to keep an eye on your car coolant levels to prevent overheating and protect your engine. You should check your coolant levels at least twice a year. It’s recommended you do this before summer and again before winter so you’re aware of your levels before any extreme weather changes occur.
