The old adage: 'a stitch in time saves nine' is really true for Aurora residents when it comes to car maintenance. A great example is coolant service.
Over time, coolant becomes corrosive and actually starts to damage your radiator and other parts. Smart Aurora drivers have their cooling system service taken care of right on schedule at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Aurora.
