Common Signs Your Car Is Overheating
A gauge reading higher than usual is often the first warning sign.
Steam or smoke coming from under the hood signals the engine is running too hot.
A sweet smell can mean coolant is leaking somewhere in the system.
A coolant warning light on your dashboard should never be ignored.
Overheating can cause the engine to misfire or lose performance.
Visible coolant leaks beneath your vehicle often point to a cooling system problem.

We pressurize the system to locate hidden leaks or cracks that reduce cooling efficiency.
We ensure these essential parts are opening and circulating coolant at the correct temperature.
