My Car is Overheating
How can I tell if my engine cooling system needs repair?
If your engine’s temperature gauge on your dashboard has slowly made its way into the red zone, or rapidly shoots into the red zone, safely pull off onto the side of the road and call one of 12th Street Auto Care Center’s ASE-certified auto mechanics. Your engine cooling system needs maintenance.
When your auto engine overheats, it could mean coolant somehow leaked out of your engine cooling system, or the coolant went bad and is no longer able to absorb the heat from the engine block.
One sign your car, truck, van or SUV’s engine is overheating is when smoke comes out of your engine. Another symptom is when you see the temperature gauge jump or you notice a coolant leak. When you notice your engine is overheating, call our local Sioux Falls, SD auto repair shop for an inspection, repair or replacement.
