Heating/Cooling
Heating & Cooling
Keeping your vehicle cool under the hood may only mean a quick part replacement, or it could involve more complex repairs. Our technicians can perform a detailed inspection of your vehicle's cooling systems to determine what work is needed.
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend replacement of the anti-freeze at scheduled intervals. Unlike many service shops that just perform a “drain-and-fill", Firestone Complete Fleet Care provides a complete radiator flushing service that includes the following:
- Inspect system and pressure test for leaks
- Add flush chemicals to the radiator
- Power flush chemicals to the radiator
- Refill system with proper amount of recycled anti-freeze
- Add sealant/lubricant to the system
- 6-month/6,000-mile limited warranty*
*See your auto advisor for complete terms and conditions of written, limited warranties

A/C Diagnostics and Repair

A/C Retrofit
Our A/C Retrofit service may be needed for vehicles made before 1993, which use costly refrigerant for air conditioning.
The service includes the following:
