Why Maintaining Your A/C System is Important:
Heating and A/C systems are subject to wear and tear over time. Hose pipes can become clogged and develop leaks if not properly serviced, resulting in reduced efficiency for both heating and cooling. Regular maintenance is essential to keep your A/C system operating at peak performance.
Signs Your A/C System May Be Experiencing Issues:
Here are some key indicators that your A/C system may require attention:
The air conditioning blows air that is only slightly cooler than the exterior air.
Air blowing from the vents smells damp and musty, or like mildew and mold.
Your vehicle's cabin doesn't warm up sufficiently in cold weather or is only marginally warmer than the outside temperature.
The defroster takes longer than usual to operate or doesn't operate at all.
Your heater or A/C functions only while driving and not when idling, or it stops blowing air when the vehicle is stationary.
Your heating system blows cold air, or the A/C blows warm air.
Low airflow even at the highest fan setting.
A Comprehensive Evaluation of Heating and A/C Systems Include:
Examining the internal controls and blower.
Checking radiator coolant operating temperature, hoses, the pressure radiator cap, and the thermostat.
Inspecting the compressor belt.
Inspecting the system and seals for leaks or damage.
Performing a cooling system pressure test.
Verifying that A/C pressure meets manufacturer specifications.
Measuring the interior vent air temperature.
Our Repair and Maintenance Services Include:
Belts: Fan belts, also known as drive belts, play a crucial role in connecting your car's engine to the front-mounted accessories. These belts rotate the water pump and engine fan, which help maintain a cool engine environment. Over time, fan belts can dry out and crack. When it's time for a replacement, you can rely on AA Auto Service & Tire for expert service. Our technicians will inspect your car's belts, replace worn ones, and ensure proper adjustments.
Coolant System Flush: A car's coolant system is responsible for transferring excess heat from the engine and dissipating it through the radiator fins. As coolant ages, it can become old and dirty, negatively impacting vehicle performance. Regular coolant system flushes are essential to ensure the system operates effectively. Contact AA Auto Service & Tire at (385) 333-6322 to schedule an appointment for your coolant system flush and fill needs.
Hoses: Hoses in your vehicle transfer coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system, including the radiator. Over time, these hoses can dry out and develop cracks. When it's time for replacement, trust AA Auto Service & Tire for expert service. Our technicians will thoroughly inspect your hoses, replace worn ones, and make any necessary adjustments.
Radiator Flush: The radiator plays a critical role in keeping your engine cool. However, given time, sludge, rust, and solid deposits can build up inside it, causing the cooling system to become clogged and less effective. Regular radiator flushing is essential to maintain system efficiency. Make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule by contacting AA Auto Service & Tire.
Radiators: Radiators are essential heat exchangers that help cool your car's internal combustion engine. They circulate engine coolant through a series of tubes surrounded by fins, allowing excess heat to dissipate. Regular servicing of your radiator is crucial to prevent engine components from overheating. Trust AA Auto Service & Tire for expert radiator service.
