As temperatures start to climb, you’ll want to make sure your car’s air conditioning system is ready to keep you cool and comfortable. Waiting until the first heatwave hits to find out your A/C isn’t working properly can lead to major discomfort—and potentially costly repairs. That’s why spring is the perfect time to have your vehicle’s air conditioning system inspected and serviced at Fox Run Auto. Common Air Conditioning Issues Over time, A/C systems can develop leaks, lose refrigerant, get dirty air ducts or suffer from worn-out components like compressors and fans. Even if your air conditioning is still blowing cold, a minor issue left unchecked can quickly turn into a bigger (and more expensive) problem when your system is forced to work harder during peak summer temperatures.
