Don’t get stuck out in
the sun
We hear the stories every summer. Someone had a big getaway planned and clunk clunk clank, their A/C system breaks and now they can’t go.
The only real way to prevent this is to regularly maintain the A/C system and take it in for repairs when needed.
We will provide more tips on the following slides.

Avoid A/C use when possible
A/C system components will wear and tear over the years.
Try to limit usage of your A/C system by only using it on the hottest of days. Rolling down the window does wonders for cooling on not so hot days.

Have an A/C technician perform a service check
The minimal cost of an A/C service check every spring will spare you potential headaches.
A technician will check your A/C compressor, A/C condenser, filter (accumulator/drier), A/C evaporator, hoses, valves and coolant levels.
They can help spot problems before they occur, such as running too low on coolant or the beginnings of a broken hose.
They will also be the ones to tell you if you need to make any big repairs, before the part actually breaks on you.
If you need new A/C parts you can save money buying online. Never settle for dealer/shop prices, they will always be too high.

Moisture inside your vehicle or excess moisture under the front of the vehicle when it is parked Please note: some moisture is common as the A/C system regularly dispenses water, but not an
excessively noticeable amount.
