Air Conditioning Service in Philadelphia, PA

One of the best things about living near Philadelphia is getting to experience all four seasons. But when your car’s air conditioner isn’t working, that blessing can feel like a curse in the middle of the summer.

Since nobody wants to pick bugs out of their teeth after a long drive with the windows down, it’s a good idea to get car service at our Patriot Auto Group service center. 

Why Air Conditioning Service Matters

Your air conditioning (A/C) does a lot more than just keep you cool when it’s hot out. Every new model has an interior cabin filter that purifies the air so you don’t inhale allergens or exhaust fumes. High humidity can cause discomfort and even respiratory distress, so it’s important that your A/C system is always ready to perform its best. 

Common Car Air Conditioning Problems

Like your home HVAC system, your car’s A/C can develop problems over time. It might take longer to blow cold air or blow warm air when it shouldn’t. Sometimes, it may not be as cold as it used to be, or the airflow has slowed to a gentle breeze.

Each of those issues calls for a visit to our service center at our car dealership near Philadelphia

Troubleshooting Your Car’s Air Conditioning

Broadly speaking, A/C issues stem from one of four causes: leaks, blockages, electrical problems, or mechanical problems. If your car’s A/C is giving you a headache, there are a few things you can do:   

  • Check to see if you’ve turned on the A/C and not the heat.
  • Make sure there are no blockages in the ductwork and that your cabin filter has been changed.
  • Check your fuse-box and wires for any signs of fraying.
  • See if the refrigerant is leaking; if the refrigerant is old, your A/C may need to be evacuated and charged.
  • Check your fans, compressor, and condenser for any signs of mechanical problems.

Some of these steps are best handled in a service center, so stop by Patriot Auto Group if you notice any of these issues.

Vehicle Maintenance near Philadelphia

Your car’s A/C may work differently than other systems in your new or used car, but they all share one thing in common—they need routine maintenance by qualified technicians. Visit any one of our Patriot Auto Group locations for the essentials, and while you’re here, don’t forget to ask about our parts and service specials!
