Auto Air Conditioning Apple Valley

Most vehicle owner’s manuals suggest having your car’s air conditioning system inspected at certain mileage milestones. Having said that, most of our customers don’t think to have their car’s air conditioner checked until they’ve noticed a problem. If it’s been a while since you last had yours checked, it might be a good time to bring your vehicle in for a performance check.

There’s a number of things our technicians look at during an air conditioner inspection. First, we will check for any refrigerant leaks that could be causing performance issues. Next, we’ll check all the other vital parts of the system including the blower fan, compressor, belts, and hoses. If you’re experiencing problems with your air conditioner, we will diagnose the problem and recommend the necessary fix. In many cases, it can be as simple as adding refrigerant to your system while in other cases faulty wiring may be to blame.

Shocks and Struts Apple Valley

Your vehicle’s shocks and struts are elements of the suspension system. The suspension system is charged with keeping your automobile balanced on the road. If you’ve noticed unwanted bouncing while you’re driving or a decrease in steering wheel response, it could point to issues with your shocks and struts. When your shocks and struts become blown, it can make for a rather dangerous situation on the road. That is because you don’t have as much control over your vehicle which means your ability to respond to a sudden stop in traffic or other hazards in diminished.
In addition, ignoring issues with your shocks and struts could lead to problems with other parts of your vehicle, including your wheels and tires. If you’re experiencing a shaking or bouncing when you drive, it is vital that you have your shocks and struts inspected by a professional auto service technician right away. We can help diagnose and repair any issues with your shocks and struts so you can enjoy a smooth ride again.

Tire Care Apple Valley

Tires can be a pricey investment, but you know how important they are to your vehicle. Protect your investment by caring for your tires properly. Aside from maintaining proper air pressure, there are a couple of maintenance tasks that need to be done to your tires on a regular basis. Having your tires rotated and balanced, as well as having your alignment check, can help extend the life of your tires.

Tire rotations help make sure that your tires are able to wear evenly so that one tire does not wear out faster than another. Balances and alignments will not only help you experience a smoother ride on the road, but these services will also help your tires wear evenly and last longer. Routine services on your tires can be done in a matter of hours. While they are relatively inexpensive services, they can save you money on tire and fuel costs down the road.
