Don’t Get Caught in the Heat:

Summer is almost here—and with it comes road trips, beach days, and unfortunately, sweltering car rides if your air conditioning isn’t up to par. Your A/C system isn’t just about comfort; when it’s blazing hot, it's a necessity. That’s why now is the perfect time to make sure your vehicle’s air conditioning is ready for the heat ahead.

There are a few early signs that your A/C might be struggling. If you’ve noticed the air coming out of your vents isn’t as cold as it used to be—or maybe the airflow feels weak—it could be a sign that your system is low on refrigerant or that a component like the compressor or fan is on its way out. Sometimes, the warning signs are more subtle, like inconsistent cooling or a musty smell when the system kicks on, which can point to mold or a clogged cabin air filter.

Unusual sounds like clicking, rattling, or squealing when you turn on the A/C can also mean trouble is brewing under the hood. And if you spot moisture inside the cabin, especially on your floorboards, it might be a sign that the system’s drain is clogged and condensation is backing up.

Even if everything seems to be working fine, a little preventative maintenance can go a long way. At Automotive Magic, we recommend a full A/C system inspection before the summer heat peaks. We'll check refrigerant levels, inspect the compressor and belts, make sure your filters are clean and your vents are clear, and look for any leaks that could leave you sweating later.

Getting your A/C checked now is a simple way to avoid a miserable surprise on that first 90-degree day. Plus, you’ll be protecting your system from bigger (and more expensive) issues down the line.

So, before summer really turns up the heat, bring your vehicle to the pros at Automotive Magic. We’ll make sure your A/C is blowing strong, cold, and clean—just the way it should be.
