Before it starts to get real hot, it is vital that you get your vehicle ready for the summer months. With that being said, getting a tune-up on your car or truck is probably one of the smartest things you can do to ensure your vehicle is in running great.
Although we aren’t quite there yet, summer is coming soon. The last thing you would want to do is get stuck driving without air. Air conditioning provided cool air that is. If you turn on your car’s air conditioner and it seems to be blowing out warm air or only slightly cool, it may be time for an AC recharge. Because the summer heat hasn’t arrived it is the best time to save big on AC recharge at Mr. Muffler.
When you bring your car or truck to Mr. Muffler in 
Westland, Michigan for an AC recharge you can be sure your car will keep you cool come summer time. An AC recharge consists of checking the pressure of your air system, ensuring all fluids are full and find any leaks using a special Dye leak detector. The refrigerant that creates cool air within your car’s air conditioning system does not just evaporate. So, if your fluids are low or you feel as if your air should be cooler, it is highly likely that you have a leak somewhere. Our professional auto repair technicians will find the source of the leak and inform you of any necessary repairs.
Because Mr. Muffler is a full-service repair shop in Michigan, we can service all necessary repairs in and around our Westland location.
There is no set schedule for getting an AC recharge. Typically, car owners can feel that their air is not properly working. This signals them to come in and schedule necessary services to repair the air conditioner in their vehicle. We do recommend, to test your air every once in a while even in the cooler seasons, as you can save a ton of money if repairs are needed.
Be sure to ask us about our April and May AC recharge specials when you contact us today!
Your coolant system is what keeps your car engine from overheating in the summer and from freezing in the winter. It works by coolant being pumped by the water pump through the engine into the radiator. The coolant takes heat away from the engine and dispels it through the radiator by airflow that comes through the grill of the car. If this system breaks down or isn’t maintained it can cause damage to your water pump. This damage over time will affect not only the coolant system but also your engine and engine’s performance as well. (more…)
