Why Regular Car Air Conditioning Maintenance is Important?

The cooling system in your car is not an accessory but an indispensable segment for comprehensive performance. The compressor, condenser, and refrigerant levels gradually deteriorate, leading to a loss of cooling effectiveness or eventual system failure. Routine maintenance is done to assure the best cooling performance, lifespan of the cooling system, costly repairs are avoided, and even fuel efficiency is maintained. Lack of periodic maintenance of air conditioning results in costly breakdowns and poor driving experiences.

Autotrac Comprehensive Car Air Conditioning Services

1. Recharge the system.

One of the most common issues with automobile air conditioners is low levels of refrigerant. This happens because the refrigerant evaporates and leaks out slowly over a period of time. Our recharge service provides your system with the correct amount of refrigerant gas to restore its cooling efficiency.
What We Do:

  • Check operation for correctness and cooling performance;
  • Measure the current levels of refrigerant in the system;
  • Recharge with the appropriate type and quantity of refrigerant;

Give your air conditioner an easy and inexpensive recharge to remain cool while driving.

3. Air Conditioning Maintenance

The secret to keeping small problems from becoming big fixes is routine maintenance. Our full maintenance service includes checking your system’s cooling function, searching for refrigerant gas leaks, testing system pressure to ensure it is within the recommended range, and searching for damage to the condenser and other parts.

Whatever the season, extensive checks by our technicians ensure that your car’s air conditioning system is always in order and functions perfectly without fault.

5. Condenser Replacement

In the process of air cooling, the role of the condenser is very crucial as it cools the refrigerant. Condenser malfunctioning causes refrigerant leakages and low cooling, which could be usually caused by the wearing out or road debris.
Our Condenser Change Procedure

  • Replace with a quality parts
  • Checking up the system to see if it is correctly working.

This filter keeps up the quality of air inside your car. A stopped-up or dirty filter can be responsible for poor airflow, cooling, and allergens/pollutants everywhere in the cabin.
The benefits of cabin filter replacement

  • Better air quality

To guarantee optimum operation, Autotrac advises changing your cabin filter during routine air conditioning maintenance.

4. Compressor Replacement

The compressor is the crucial part of your car’s air conditioning system because it circulates refrigerant throughout the system. When it breaks, the entire system stops working.
