Car Air Conditioning Repair at Benson CDJR in Greer, South Carolina

Why Car AC Repair is Important

While most drivers can deal with a little bit of discomfort in the heat and can manage with the windows down or the fan on, this doesn't work for everyone. For rainy days or for those who are sensitive to heat, such as young children or the elderly, the AC can be essential in the hot months.

When You Should Get Car AC Repair

When your AC is broken or needs to be serviced, the indicators are generally easy to spot. Indicators include if your air isn't cooling, there are strange noises or smells when your AC is on, or if there is unexpected moisture in the air when your air is running.

Steps 2

Repairs will be made to the broken or damaged components. Problems range from low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, a bad pressure switch, a damaged condenser, a failed condenser fan, and more. Specific repairs will depend on the broken components.

Steps 3

After repairs are made, the technician will check all components and make sure that the problem is fixed and the AC is now working properly.
