Our team at Kevin’s Car Repair & Body Shop LLC wants to help you get the best possible driving experience, and one thing that can make a big difference to that experience is your car air conditioning. We know from experience just how uncomfortable it is to have to drive in the summer heat without a functioning AC, and we want to help you avoid that same situation. The best way to prevent major malfunctions is to learn the early signs of trouble and get the issues they point to taken care of as soon as possible. In this article, we’ll go over a few things to look at in order to tell if your car air conditioning needs repair.

How to Tell if Your Car Air Conditioning Needs Repair

  • No Cold Air- The most obvious sign that your car air conditioning needs repair is, of course, a lack of cold air. If your vents blow warm or hot air no matter how high you crank the AC, then you definitely have a problem, and we encourage you to give our team a call to get it taken care of.
  • Unpleasant Odors- Another sign that you probably need to get your car air conditioning repaired is bad or unpleasant smells emanating from your vents. If you turn on your AC and find that the air blowing from your vents smells bad or stale, then it’s likely that you have a mold problem.
  • Strange Noises- A third sign that your car air conditioning likely needs to be repaired is strange noises coming from this system as it runs. While you will hear the rush of air no matter what, if you start to also hear loud banging, rattling, or worse, then we urge you to give us a call to get your system checked out.
