If Your Car Engine Begins to Overheat, Do This:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2776 Pull the Car Over Immediately<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As soon as you are aware that there is a problem with your car\u2019s engine, pull to the side of the road and come to a complete stop.  Put your car into park, turn the engine off, and remove your car keys from the ignition (Be sure to keep your keys on you so you do not get locked out of your vehicle).  Certain clues that suggest your car engine is problematic or is overheating include smoke coming from the hood, engine temperature gauge reading is in the red, strange or loud noises, or smelling gasoline.  Any of these signs, and more, is signs that your car is in distress. If you absolutely must continue driving, allow the engine to cool completely, and then drive only short distances until you reach your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Call a LICENSED Mechanic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people want to call a tow truck or a friend to get their car to a repair garage.  The better choice, however, is to just call a mechanic first because they usually offer free towing and vehicle pickups for paying customers.  This way, you avoid having to pay extra money for a tow truck and can take advantage of an all-inclusive deal.  If a car is overheating, it needs to be inspected and serviced by a licensed mechanic as soon as possible.  The longer the engine sits without a repair, the longer you will go without the use of a working vehicle!  Be sure to use a licensed and reputable car repair shop.  Look at company credentials and see if they offer any specials or coupons for car repair and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Explain How Your Engine Overheats<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once a mechanic is contacted, it is time to explain to them the situation. To do this, think about the style of driving you are doing when it starts to overheat. Is the car in an idle mode, such as sitting in traffic, when it overheats? Or does it overheat while exceeding certain speeds during interstate or highway driving? These clues can help a mechanic better diagnose the engine problem, making for a shorter stay at the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
