Refrigerant Isn’t The Only Issue

We applaud your DIY mentality but topping off your AC refrigerant may not be the best way to go. For average day-to-day city driving you only need to replace or refill your refrigerant every three years—more frequently if you commute or drive full-time. While you may be looking for a quick AC fix, avoid the temptation to just add more fluid. Even if adding more fluid fixes the problem, it could be a temporary fix that does more damage than good. If your broken AC is due to a leaking hose or component, now your leak will worse. This could lead to serious damage to your compressor, especially in older vehicles that don’t have an automatic electronic turn-off feature when refrigerant is low. Instead, pop in to our shop and we will shed light on what is heating up your vehicle.

Your Vehicle AC Is More Complex Than You Might Imagine

Sometimes AC failure is gradual and sometimes it is immediate. As a general rule, most AC units decrease in efficiency about 5% each year. However, staying on top of your regularly scheduled maintenance and diagnostics will help you avoid a dip in cooling. When you bring your vehicle in for an AC inspection we will check and inspect your:

• Refrigerant Levels

• Compressor

• Condenser

• Receiver

• Expansion Valve

• Evaporator

• All hoses and connectors
