Why is the coolant light on my Subaru dashboard on?

To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.

Is It Time for Service on My 2019 Subaru Legacy Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Subaru Legacy radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2019 Subaru Legacy is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. Subaru recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. 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. As soon as you see one of these symptoms, come to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

What to Expect from Subaru Legacy Radiator Repair

What does radiator repair include? If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Subaru Legacy’s cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.

When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’ll take excellent care of your 2019 Subaru Legacy at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
