When you take your vehicle for routine maintenance or a scheduled check-up, the priority is typically with the engine, or other essential vehicle systems. Consequently, this means owners often overlook any issues that could develop with their air conditioning system and fail to have it routinely inspected. This could dramatically impact the vehicle with any of the common A/C system issues costing heavy fees to be fixed or replaced. Good Works Auto Repair recommends an A/C service inspection annually before the hot Arizona temperatures rise too high.

At Good Works Auto Repair, some of the most common problems we see range from clogged hoses to major leaks. For example, a clogged hose from debris over time can mean that your system may lead to moisture in the cabin which means foggy windows and an inefficient cooling. If moisture or debris contaminates the air conditioner installed in the car, it will fail to cool the surroundings. Then there are leaks, also very common when it comes to an AC system. Leaks can lead to other AC components being overworked and breaking down – and that means money out of your pocket. Because so many little things are potential repairs waiting to happen, just run routine checks so that when something does crop up, you can tackle the issue promptly.

Your auto AC system is meant to cool, condition and circulate the air inside your vehicle. But what happens without an efficient system? Sick car syndrome can occur. This means that bacteria, fungi, and micro-organisms can develop when the air conditioning system is not in use, especially during winter. The dark and damp interior of your car’s AC is the perfect breeding ground for them, and they often make themselves known in the form of pungent odors. These germs can grow quickly behind your dashboard and without inspection and a flush, you may be breathing in cabin contamination each time you drive the vehicle. Yuck!

If you haven’t had an A/C inspection in quite a while, it may be the right time to get your car serviced by Good Works Auto Repair. During your AC service, they’ll inspect the system pressures, vent temperatures, belt tension and air volume to make sure your air conditioning system is working properly and efficiently. Don’t take for granted your cool, clean air any longer.
