We may be in the dog days of summer, but there’s still lots of time left for road trips, long rides to a vacation or camping spot. Boy, will you and your passengers be bummed if the A/C fails on a steamy day. Peruzzi Mitsubishi recognizes the “warning signs” that something is going wrong with your system, so here’s how to know when your vehicle’s air-conditioning system needs a look.
OBVIOUS STUFF
…as in, the A/C simply stops working. Or, it doesn’t have much “blowing” power. Or isn’t as cool as you remember. That’s when it’s time to schedule an appointment with Peruzzi Mitsubishi.
LEAKS
Sometimes, you spot leaks underneath your car. If it’s coolant, that’s not good. What’s worse is if you find water leaks inside the vehicle. Clogs in the system or damaged hoses mean that the water isn’t properly circulating. In either case, make an appointment to have it looked at/fixed as soon as possible.
WHAT’S THAT SMELL?
You go to switch on the air conditioner during a long, hot ride – and what you smell is something best described as … “musty.” That’s an indicator that mold and/or mildew is growing within your system. Breathing it in can lead to various health issues like asthma attacks. Stop into Peruzzi Mitsubishi to have your A/C thoroughly and professionally cleaned out. You’ll breathe easier – literally.
WEIRD NOISES
Look, we know the “normal” noises our cars make. So, when you pick up on something that sounds a little “off,” especially when your air conditioner is engaged, don’t ignore it. Any rattling or banging sounds are most definitely your vehicle’s way of saying, “Get the A/C looked at…. now!” Peruzzi Mitsubishi will get under the hood and see what’s going on. If anything needs repairing, we’ll do it quickly and efficiently.
Air-conditioning is one of those things that make trips in hot weather so much more pleasant. Don’t let a malfunctioning system put a (sweaty) damper on your day.
