Having my coolant replaced, the shop suggested I also replace the thermostat. The vehicle has 30,000 miles, does this sound right?
Depending on the condition of the cooling system and the miles on the vehicle, we sometimes suggest replacing the thermostat as a preventative measure. At such low mileage, I would not recommend replacement, unless the cooling system was very corroded or there was an indication of a thermostat problem.
