When your car’s temperature gauge creeps into the red zone, it’s a clear warning sign that it is overheating. This can be stressful, but knowing the right steps to take can prevent further damage to your engine. Absolute Car Care is here to guide you through what to do if you find yourself in this situation.

I own a Hyundai. Hyundai’s company spares & labor costs are pretty high, but there is peace of mind. If you own a Hyundai, Kothari is very good & reliable. If you own Maruti, Sai service is very good & reliable. Dont know about other brands. But if you have an expensive/luxury car like BMW, Rolls Royce etc, then AJ Performance is great.

After pulling over, immediately turn off your engine. Driving with an overheating engine can cause significant damage, potentially leading to costly repairs. Turning off the engine stops it from generating more heat and allows it to cool down. Wait at least 15 minutes before attempting any further steps to enable the engine temperature to decrease.

All these servicing startups are good with sending quick estimates, free pick & drop, sending photos over whatsapp and all such gimmicks. But when it comes to actual work & the life of their services/spares, you would end up going to the company service center/dealership. And the whole experience in total costs become huge. Biggest problem with these startups is that they have tie up with local mechanics all across the city. So if the company is based in Baner, it doenst make sense to them to give a free pick & drop for a car in Hadapsar or Viman Nagar. The bills you receive and the guy answering your calls will belong to company but work done is at a local garage by useless fellows. You cant even expect a good check of nut-bolts & greasing. You would send the car to resolve 1 problem & it will come back with 2 new ones which never existed before. You may find some really good local mechanics who have great knowledge & experience, but due to monetary constraints they rarely have the right tools, good clean space or any advanced testing machines and capable infrastructure to give you foolproof service/repair.

Just go through google reviews of all the dealerships of your car brand & pick the one with best reviews. Thats about it.
