Coolant, Oil and Fluid Top-Off in Huntsville, AL

A warning light for low coolant or low oil does not always mean a tow. Often the car just needs fluid to get safely to a shop. We bring the right fluid to you and top it off.

Hours Open 24 hours, every day, holidays included

The price is $49, and the fluid is included.

What we top off

Engine coolant, up to one gallon of the type your vehicle uses. Engine oil, up to two quarts of the correct grade. Windshield washer fluid, a full fill.

Tell us the year, make and model so we bring the right coolant and oil. Using the wrong type can cause problems later.

If the engine is overheating

Pull over and shut the engine off. Do not keep driving with the temperature gauge in the red. A few more miles can turn a small repair into a ruined engine.

Do not open the radiator cap or the coolant tank while the engine is hot. The system is under pressure and the coolant can cause serious burns. Let it cool. We will handle it when we get there.

We check the level, add coolant and look for an obvious leak. If coolant is pouring out as fast as we add it, a top-off will not get you far and we will tell you that honestly.

A top-off is a way to get to a shop

Fluid does not disappear on its own. If your coolant or oil is low, something is leaking or being burned, and it needs a proper diagnosis.

What we do is get you moving safely today. We do not repair leaks, hoses, water pumps or radiators.

Washer fluid counts too

It sounds minor until you are behind a truck on I-565 in the rain or pollen season has coated the windshield. If you are stuck without it, we will bring it.

How it works

  1. Call or text with your vehicle and what the warning light says.
  2. We confirm the $49 price and bring the right fluid.
  3. We check the level, top it off and look for an obvious leak.
  4. You pay by card or cash and drive to a shop for a proper check.

Good to know

  • Never open a hot radiator cap.
  • If the oil pressure light is on, shut the engine off and leave it off.
  • Note where the temperature gauge was when you stopped. A shop will ask.

Fluid top-off questions

Is the fluid included in the $49?

Yes. Up to one gallon of coolant, up to two quarts of oil, or a full fill of washer fluid is included.

Can I keep driving after a coolant top-off?

Usually far enough to reach a shop, as long as the temperature gauge stays in the normal range. If it climbs again, stop. We will tell you what we saw so you can judge.

Do you do oil changes?

No. We add oil when the level is low so you can drive safely. A full oil change is a job for a shop.
