Summer’s hot and humid days have arrived. And there’s nothing worse than suddenly finding yourself without air conditioning on a 100-degree Nashville day.
That’s why a car air conditioning tune-up at Import Specialty Service is one of the smartest moves you can make for your vehicle (and yourself) this summer.
5 Reasons to Schedule an Auto Air Conditioning Service Today
1. Ensure Optimal Cooling Performance
Over time, your car’s A/C system can lose refrigerant or develop minor issues that reduce its cooling power. A tune-up will restore your system to peak performance, catching any issues before your A/C goes out and ensuring you stay cool no matter how high the temperature climbs.
2. Maintain Fuel Efficiency
When your A/C system isn’t running efficiently, it can put added strain on your engine, leading to reduced fuel economy. Keeping your air conditioning system in good working order helps your car operate more efficiently overall.
3. Avoid Overheating
Did you know that pavement temperatures can soar past 140°F during a Nashville summer—and your engine feels that heat too? Keeping your engine coolant (which is different from your air conditioning) in check is key to avoiding overheating in stop-and-go traffic…because no one wants to be stranded by the side of the road on a scorching day.
4. Protect the Longevity of Your A/C System
Routine maintenance, including checking refrigerant levels, inspecting belts and hoses, cleaning condenser coils, and cleaning A/C evaporator condensate drains extends the life of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. This prevents premature wear and reduces the likelihood of a full system replacement.
5. Catch Issues Early Before They Become Costly
A car A/C service helps identify small problems before they escalate into major (and expensive) repairs. Common issues like refrigerant leaks, clogged filters, or worn compressor components can be fixed more affordably when caught early.
What’s Included in an Automotive A/C Service?
A professional car A/C tune-up typically includes:
- Checking and topping off refrigerant
