Automotive Tips from Charlie's Fast Lube Dexter: Air Conditioning Inspection
August 14, 2022
Most auto manufacturers recommend an interval for an air conditioning system inspection. The inspection uncovers leaks, worn hoses and assesses the condition of the other components.
Environmental laws in some around Dexter require leaks to be repaired before refrigerant can be added. Also some parts manufacturers require other components to be replaced along with certain failed parts in order to maintain the new part warranty. This is because a given failure may be the result of another worn or damaged part that will, if not replaced, prematurely damage the new component.
Charlie's Fast Lube Dexter in Dexter is fully equipped to restore your flow of cool air.
