Engine coolant helps manage temperature and protects compatible cooling-system materials. Coolant service replaces old fluid using the correct product and procedure for the vehicle. It is separate from repairing a coolant leak, a failed thermostat or another cause of overheating.

The serpentine belt drives accessories on many engines. Which accessories it operates depends on the vehicle; some use electric power steering or separate drive arrangements. Belt wear, contamination and misalignment can all affect operation.
Learn moreThermostat Replacement
The engine thermostat helps regulate coolant flow as the engine warms up and operates. A thermostat stuck open or closed can affect temperature control. Similar symptoms may have other causes, so an overheating complaint should not lead directly to a part replacement without evaluation.
