When people think of AC problems, their thoughts go to the thermostat or control panel. This is due to the control panel being visible and in front of the driver. However, there are a lot of parts that make this cooling system. Just a few weeks ago, a customer came in with no AC running. After popping the hood, it was clear that the AC was running. However, no air was coming through. It was one of the moments where another component of a car can affect your car’s ability to cool down. These components include:
Fortunately, the only problem the customer had was a broken blower fan. However, replacing these fans can be one of the most challenging air conditioning repairs. That is why we recommend getting your car’s AC inspected.
Inspections can catch problems early, which can prevent expensive repairs. An inspection can catch issues like component wear/tear and refrigerant levels. In addition, you can ensure your system is working at optimal performance and has good air quality!
Here are some tips to help you keep your car cooler:
Use a Sunshade or Window Visor
Put up a sunshade or window visor every time you exit your car to keep the interior cool. Keep it even cooler by putting a sunshade in your rearview window as well. Block the sun’s rays from your car!
Use a Dash Cover
A fabric or upholstered dash cover can make your car’s interior more comfortable and a lot less hot. You won’t feel as overwhelmed by the heat if you don’t have to touch hot vinyl and leather surfaces.
Park in a Shady Area
So, whenever possible, park in a shady area. You’ll be happy to enter a not-so-hot car when you return from your being away.
Keep Windows Slightly Cracked
While it’s not a good idea to leave your windows all the way open, it is a good idea to leave them slightly cracked. Even the smallest crack will promote ventilation and help to keep your car from overheating.

Although we aren’t quite there yet, summer is coming soon. The last thing you would want to do is get stuck driving without air. Air conditioning provided cool air that is. If you turn on your car’s air conditioner and it seems to be blowing out warm air or only slightly cool, it may be time for an AC recharge. Because the summer heat hasn’t arrived it is the best time to save big on AC recharge at Mr. Muffler.
When you bring your car or truck to Mr. Muffler in 
Westland, Michigan for an AC recharge you can be sure your car will keep you cool come summer time. An AC recharge consists of checking the pressure of your air system, ensuring all fluids are full and find any leaks using a special Dye leak detector. The refrigerant that creates cool air within your car’s air conditioning system does not just evaporate. So, if your fluids are low or you feel as if your air should be cooler, it is highly likely that you have a leak somewhere. Our professional auto repair technicians will find the source of the leak and inform you of any necessary repairs.
Because Mr. Muffler is a full-service repair shop in Michigan, we can service all necessary repairs in and around our Westland location.
There is no set schedule for getting an AC recharge. Typically, car owners can feel that their air is not properly working. This signals them to come in and schedule necessary services to repair the air conditioner in their vehicle. We do recommend, to test your air every once in a while even in the cooler seasons, as you can save a ton of money if repairs are needed.

Getting your air conditioning checked before summer is always a good idea. Now is the time, we are finally seeing the warm weather break here in Michigan. We want to let our customers know it is better to check and treat your vehicle’s air conditioning system to prevent further major repairs.
Your vehicle’s AC system may need a recharge. When it comes to air conditioning repairs, Mr. Muffler offers the best deals around. From leak repairs to full system replacements we can handle any A/C problem you may have.
Drivers need to make sure your refrigerant is not low. If it is, this could be due to a leak. If your air conditioning system operates on low refrigerant it will, in time, damage the compressor.
Check for preventive care. Filling the refrigerant and fixing a leak is going to cost much less than if the air conditioning compressor gets damaged and needs to be repaired or replaced.
If there is a noticeable noise and less cold air coming from your air conditioner when your car is running it could be faulty fan or the blower of your air conditioning system.
If a stale smell is coming from your vehicle’s air conditioning system this could be telling you something is wrong. Components that contribute to air conditioning system failure are; clogged evaporator, compressor, expansion valve, and condenser.
We know that to some people air conditioning is not first on their list, but keep in mind the main advantages of a vehicle’s air conditioning system is preventing driver fatigue. Drive Safe!
