What does the coolant light on my Chevrolet dashboard mean?

Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!

Is It Time for Service on My 2014 Chevrolet SS Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Chevrolet SS radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2014 Chevrolet SS is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Chevrolet recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.
