Performance Check Your AC

Bring your vehicle to Victory Ford of Garnett to our Service Center, and we’ll perform a performance check of your air conditioning system. We’ll check for leaks and determine if it needs to be recharged or if there are other issues. Even if you’re not having any problems with your AC, a regular performance check before hot weather arrives can help identify potential issues. We can take care of any repairs, so you don’t have to drive in a hot vehicle.

Common AC Issues

If your air conditioning isn’t working the way it should, the problem is usually one of three issues.

  • The vents are blowing out hot air, which means water may have gotten into the system. When the water combines with refrigerant, a corrosive acid develops, which eats away part of the system. Rubber seals may wear and allow the refrigerant to leak and reduce the cooling power.
  • A strange odor may mean mold from the water that got into the system. It could come from a dirty cabin air filter or a blocked drain from the evaporator case.
  • If you notice weak airflow, it could mean your evaporator core has extra moisture with a buildup of mold. The blower motor may also be failing or there may be a restriction in the evaporator core.

If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, you can contact Victory Ford of Garnett to schedule an appointment to service your AC. Our Service Center will diagnose the problem and let you know what we need to do to fix it.

Service Your AC at Victory Ford of Garnett

You need to have your AC maintained to keep you and your passengers cool. Regular service also prevents more complicated and costly problems down the road. If the refrigerant is too low, it can cause damage to the AC compressor.

Your owner’s manual will guide you on when to have your AC serviced. In general, the recommendation is at least once a year. It’s best to schedule service in the spring before hot weather arrives. If you notice any issues at other times, you can schedule service to have them checked out. Our team will perform a charge test and recharge the system if needed. We can also empty the old refrigerant and replace it with new if it’s been a long time since you’ve had that service performed. We’ll provide a written estimate for any repairs we recommend.
