Howdy y'all
I had a bit of a run in with a car coming down I-5 today. Bumper damage to my front end (not too bad, punched in the bumper a bit though) the rest of the trip down, my car was running a bit hot. I had to turn the AC off so the temp wouldn't rise too much, and going up the grapevine, my little girl was runnin real hot.
No coolant issues, I checked all my levels, and oil is fine and so is engine coolant. I think the bumper crupling a bit might have blocked the air coming into the radiator, which would cause the temp to rise. Any other ideas maybe? Everything else looked good (except cosmetically of course), but I'm not sure. Any ideas of things to check?

The real issue- I live in Nor cal, so I don't know So cal too well. Does anyone down here have any recommendations for anything in the LA area that does good body work, and would be able to help me out fast, and do a good job? Preferably open sundays, but I ain't too picky for that. If you have any ideas of places that you would recommend, please give me a name, and a phone # if you've got one.

Thanks for the help!

alright i have the same problem with my car although it happened to me going 90 up a hill in 4th gear car started over heating blah blah then it would continue to over heat even when doing 55 and everything bah i flushed the system out there was a litle gunk in the radiator and now it is not as bad as it was before but i would reccomened getting some merietic acid and flushing it through your motor. there is also some flush kits out but the acid will work better IMO anyhow you have a clogged radiator. nothing to big just get it flushed out.
