The Situation: Overheating at Ina & La Canada We received a call from a motorist stranded at the busy intersection of W Ina Rd and N La Canada Dr, right in the heart of Casas Adobes. The vehicle—a light-duty passenger sedan—had begun smoking from the hood while waiting at the light. Upon arrival, our driver confirmed a significant coolant leak originating from a failed upper radiator hose. In the Arizona heat, continuing to drive with a compromised cooling system is a guaranteed way to warp a cylinder head or seize an engine.
The Strategy: Safe, Local Transport Since the vehicle was located near a high-traffic intersection near Casas Adobes Plaza, rapid response was essential to clear the roadway and prevent a traffic hazard. We utilized a light-duty flatbed tow truck to ensure a "wheels-off-the-ground" transport. This method is the safest for modern vehicles with sensitive sensors and prevents any further mechanical strain on the engine or transmission.
The Resolution: Delivered for Repairs The vehicle was securely loaded and towed to a trusted local auto shop just a few miles away. By choosing a professional tow rather than attempting to "limp" the car to a station, the owner avoided thousands of dollars in potential engine damage.
