Temperature gauge climbing? Steam from under the hood? Brant Jones Auto & Diesel diagnoses and repairs overheating problems on cars, trucks and SUVs in Springfield, TN. We find the cause fast and fix it before a small problem turns into major engine damage.
Your engine is at risk any time coolant stops flowing properly or the radiator can't get rid of enough heat. Common causes include:
Many of these are simple fixes. A $5 thermostat isn't a big deal. But overheating itself is serious. If the engine gets too hot or stays hot too long, you could be looking at major engine work or a replacement engine.
Pull over as soon as it's safe and shut the engine off. Don't keep driving to "make it home." Don't open the radiator cap while the engine is hot, because the coolant is under pressure and can cause serious burns. Once it cools, call us and we'll help you figure out the next step.
Whether you need a simple coolant flush or a head gasket repair, our mechanics diagnose the real cause instead of guessing, explain what your vehicle needs, and get you back on the road. Catching an overheating problem early can save your engine.

No. Driving an overheating engine even a short distance can warp the cylinder head, blow the head gasket or seize the engine. Pull over, turn the engine off and let it cool. If the gauge climbs again after you restart it, have the vehicle towed instead of driving it in.
High temperatures and stop-and-go traffic make it harder for your cooling system to shed heat, so weak spots like low coolant, a tired radiator or a failing fan show up faster. For more tips, read our guide on keeping your engine safe during Tennessee heatwaves.
It varies by vehicle. Many manufacturers recommend a flush every 30,000 to 100,000 miles, and long-life coolants are at the higher end of that range. Check your owner's manual, or ask us to test your coolant at your next visit.
Had brakes repaired on my 2012 Expedition. Completely satisfied. Owner is honest and makes a great effort to see that each repair is to done correctly and that the customer is satisfied. Brant Jones has been my mechanic for 18 years. An honest and helpful mechanic is a good find. Any one star reviews are most likely written by someone who cannot be pleased or by a competing auto repair shop.
Absolutely fantastic! I work for a roadside assistance company and I called then to help us with a tow the other night, Blue was amazing. He got there quickly and was super pleasant on the phone. If I can even get more business their way they will get it every time. #teamblue
They did a quality repair job on rusted brake lines on my truck. Brakes work much better now. Fast service. Very reasonable pricing. I plan on going back for anymore service needed for my truck or car.
Professional, fast service, high quality results... Everything I had been looking for in a local mechanic. Extremely pleased and you will be too.
Came in (mid crisis) after 9 other places said no..they got my baby fixed right up and didn't take a bite out of my budget! I will be back when she needs some TLC
Lou was friendly and informative when he towed my vehicle. The repairs done to my vehicle were fast and inexpensive and the women at the front desk was great. Cannot recommend these people enough.
