There’s no dashboard warning light that tells you when it’s time to take care of your vehicle’s air conditioning. But the telltale sign, especially in the middle of a sweltering summer, is that it stops blowing cold air — making your road trips unbearable.
Your air conditioning system is made up of three crucial steps: liquidation, refrigeration, and evaporation. If dirt or debris isn’t properly removed in one of these processes, or if any one of the parts breaks down due to prolonged use, it can cause your vehicle's air conditioning to fail.
Other signs to look for include:
- Dirt or debris coming from your air vents
- Weak or no airflow through the passenger cabin
- Warm airflow
- Strange odors
- Noises or sounds when you switch on the A/C
Annual maintenance of your vehicle’s air conditioning can go a long way in preventing problems before they start. We service all makes and models, but the service needed may vary, depending on the type of car you drive and the issue at hand. Systems in newer models can sometimes be easily recharged to regain proper function, while older vehicles may require more complex service, such as a radiator or compressor replacement.
