I accidentally left the car on in a closed garage for about 2-3 hours. Would I be okay?
Yes, you would likely be okay, but it's important to take precautions.
Leaving the car on in a closed garage can lead to carbon monoxide buildup, which can be dangerous if inhaled. However, the amount of time you left the car on for (2-3 hours) is relatively short, so it's likely that the levels of carbon monoxide in the garage are not dangerously high.
To be safe, you should open the garage door and let the garage air out for a few hours before entering. You should also avoid starting the car in the garage until it has been aired out.
If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, such as headaches, nausea, or dizziness, you should seek medical attention immediately.
