Warning Signs Your Automobile's AC is Failing
Every vehicle is different, but your car’s AC system is comprised of numerous components that could all potentially have various sorts of issues. Any of these components could be the reason your automobile’s AC system isn’t reaching its optimal performance. While no make or model is the same when it comes to signs of your AC failing, the general signs are:
- Sound: If you are hearing unusual sounds from either your vents or under your hood – it could be that your AC is failing.
- Smell: When your evaporator has a bacteria buildup, it starts giving off certain odors. If you have unexplained smells in your car, that could be a sign your AC system is experiencing a failure.
- Feel: If you are experiencing drastic inconsistency in your AC temperature, ice could have accumulated in your system or you could have problems with your compressor.
Radiator Service
A vehicle overheating due to a failure in the cooling system is the number one cause of car breakdowns. Since there are no physical warning signs of deterioration within your radiator and cooling system, it often goes overlooked until it is too late. Ensuring that your auto radiator and cooling system is the best way to avoid the most popular reason for a vehicle breakdown. Our technicians at D&D Service Center work to keep your radiator well-maintained. Our radiator service includes:
