The clever mechanic put too much coolant in my car

and it caused some smoke. I took it to him to ask why it did this and he said nothings wrong. I was like “yeah right” in my mind but I couldn’t wait to get out of that place with snotty mechanics. I went to another place with good reviews and the guy looked under my hood and asked me if I added the coolant. I said no way. He must have thought it was me because it’s a stupid thing to do for a professional mechanic. I told him the mechanic from the popular company did that. He took out the extra coolant with a tube and I’m glad he actually had a mechanic brain to know what was the problem. Ugh, too much coolant can cause burning in the engine.

i think maybe is the overfill coolant get hot and expand then expell out throught overflow hose when engine reach idea running temperature.The smoke you saw could be coolant evaporate,anyway lucky you notice earlier and you did the right thing.
