What should I do if my car is overheating and hissing?

I am having trouble with my car’s temperature and this strange hissing noise. I’m not really sure if the issue is serious or not and mechanics love to overcharge for even the smallest things. What should I do if my car is overheating and hissing?

You’re right, it can be really expensive to get your car fixed. However, if your vehicle is overheating and hissing, you’ll need to bring it to a mechanic or you could end up dealing with a breakdown.
A mechanic can properly diagnose the issue and repair the problem and help you avoid being stranded on the side of the road - which is never good.
