Frequently Asked Questions
Regular Air Conditioning service helps ensure your vehicle's air conditioning system operates efficiently, providing cool air during hot weather and helping prevent major, costly repairs down the road.
Common signs your car's AC needs servicing include blowing warm air, unusual noises when the AC is on, a musty smell, or reduced airflow from the vents. If you notice any of these issues, it's time to have your AC system checked.
Your car's AC may blow warm air due to low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, a clogged condenser, or leaks in the system. A professional AC service at Pep Boys can diagnose and fix these issues.
It's recommended that your car's AC system be checked at least once a year, preferably before the summer season, to ensure it's in good working condition.
Pep Boys uses the manufacturer-recommended refrigerant for your vehicle to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
