Why Is My Car Overheating at a Stoplight?

The vehicle owner reported that the check engine light was on, and the car started to overheat when idling at a stoplight. They had to shift into neutral to lower the temperature.

The team replaced the timing belt and water pump, performing a complete coolant system flush to remove sediment and debris. This included replacing necessary gaskets, seals, and actuators as recommended by the manufacturer.

After the repairs, the vehicle no longer overheated, and the check engine light was resolved.

Straight from this shop's Google listing.

Great shop & great team, from service writers to the mechanics. Although I live in Winter Haven, I chose this location because they are specifically equipped to handle my F350 dually. Since then I have been bringing my other vehicle (an older ford ranger) to Mike & his team when I need repairs. Recently my timing chains began to rattle on my ford ranger so I contacted Mike & Rebecca to see if they would be able to get the job done for me. They gave me a quote, got my truck in & repaired within 1 full work day. They provided photos of each step of the repairs they did (at my request) & emailed gladly them to me. Rebecca drove me home when I dropped my truck off, & they updated me on their progress by text while they were doing the repairs. They also notified me by text as soon as my truck was done & ready to go. Mike & his team do an excellent job & strive very diligently to take care of customers with pride, courtesy, & outstanding professionalism that other shops don’t provide these days.

Super accommodating, quick, efficient and so nice. They worked me in at the end of the day. on a Friday, on a holiday weekend! Did a lightning quick fix and sent me on my way. I'll definitely give Johnny's my auto repair business in the future.

This team didn’t just fix the problem the car came in with, they made sure my daughter’s car was safe to drive since she is so far away from home in college. Fixing an issue with the rear tire as well that wasn’t even part of why we originally brought it in. This was a safety issue and I’m so thankful they found it. Not only that but they fixed a problem other well known places couldn’t. They added a special touch which was so very sweet (see picture)

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Johnny Automotive for the outstanding service and support you provided when I needed it most. From the moment I brought my vehicle in, your professionalism, honesty, integrity, and commitment to customer service were evident. I truly appreciate the time you took to explain the repairs, provide accurate information, and keep me informed throughout the process. That level of transparency gave me complete confidence that my vehicle was in the right hands. I am especially thankful for the transportation assistance you provided between my home and your shop. That extra effort made a difficult situation much easier and demonstrated how much you genuinely care about your customers. Most importantly, my vehicle is running very well after the repairs, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Your expertise and attention to detail have made a real difference. Because of the excellent experience I received, I am committed to continuing to bring my vehicle to Johnny Automotive for future service needs. I will also gladly recommend your business to family, friends, and anyone looking for a trustworthy automotive repair shop. Thank you again for stepping in when I needed help, for your exceptional customer service, and for operating your business with honesty and integrity. It is rare to find a shop that combines technical excellence with genuine care for its customers, and Johnny Automotive does exactly that.
