FAQs
Why is my car overheating?
Overheating is usually caused by low coolant, but can be caused by many other parts. Driving with an overheating engine can cause serious damage, including engine failure so it's important to get it checked right away.
How often should I have my cooling system checked?
Most manufacturers recommend a cooling system inspection or coolant flush every 30,000 miles or so, though it's smart to have it checked sooner if you notice your temperature gauge running high or see coolant under your vehicle.
What does my vehicle's cooling system actually do?
Your cooling system has a massive balancing act: it keeps your engine running properly at its ideal operating temperature while directly powering your cabin heat. By keeping things from getting too hot under the hood, it prevents catastrophic engine failure and keeps your vehicle running efficiently.
What happens if I keep driving with low antifreeze?
Running low on antifreeze reduces your engine's ability to regulate temperature, which can lead to overheating and, in severe cases, serious engine damage. If your coolant level keeps dropping, it likely means there's a leak that needs to be addressed.
