From cooling system leaks to radiator issues, there are lots of reasons a car would overheat. Most vehicles have a “normal” spot for the temperature gauge to sit, and it’s important to take note of where yours should be when all is well. Most cars operate between 195 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit. If you notice your car’s gauge is reading much higher than normal (after giving it a few minutes to adjust on a hot Stephenville day), don’t drive it. Doing so can put you and other drivers in danger, and will create more serious and more costly issues in the near future.

If your car overheats in Brownwood, you should consider it a clear sign that there’s a bigger issue to address. Take a look at the most common reasons a car would overheat:
While it would be more convenient for your car to overheat in your driveway rather than on the road in Abilene, we all know that the latter situation is more common. If it happens to you and your air conditioning is on, turn it off right away and instead run the heat at full blast. You’ll be uncomfortable, but this helps to pull heat off the engine. When you can pull over safely, do not attempt to pop the hood by hand for at least 30 minutes. Calling a towing service to pick up your car and bring it to a service center is the best option to keep yourself and nearby drivers safe.
