Smoke billowing out from under your car hood is one of the most visible signs that something is seriously wrong with your vehicle.
Here’s what you should do if disaster strikes (and how to prevent it from happening again)!

Under the hood of every vehicle, you’ll find the all-important cooling system. It’s built from a series of hoses, fans, pumps, and fluid.

Even in a well-maintained vehicle, the coolant can begin to leak and become totally ineffective. Naylor’s Auto Repair is a full service auto shop that can diagnose and repair any vehicle coolant system if you have a leak or suspect a problem.
