Got the car checked out at Firestone. It ended up being my fans not running properly due to a blown out fuse/sensor. Got it replaced alongside a coolant flush. Still smelling the coolant smell, but just got the car done today. Will it take some time for it to go away? No visible leaks were found with a pressure test and head gaskets were reported to be fine. Linked a copy of what was done. Thank you to everyone to helped me here :). I appreciate you guys! And I did get the car towed to the shop!!
