Over the years, AC systems in cars have advanced and become more sophisticated than ever. They’re quick and efficient, with some offering up to multiple zones of individual temperature control. However, the basics of auto air conditioning remain more or less the same. Today, we will go over the air conditioning's most important components and how they all work together to supply you with cool air. A compressor is powered by a pulley connected to the engine. Its main job is to compress low-pressure refrigerant gas or freon to a high enough pressure. The pressurized freon flows into the condenser behind the grille in the front of your vehicle, where a system of tubes cools the refrigerant and turns it into liquid form. The refrigerant moves through an accumulator or receiver-dryer, eliminating any water that may harm the system. The liquid freon passes through the expansion valve, where it expands and cools off so it can move to the evaporator core. At this s ... read more

When it's coming from your kitchen or dining table, the sweet smell of maple syrup is amazing and inviting. But if the same smell comes from your car, it indicates trouble. Generally, the syrup smell is not unpleasant. But when you smell this syrup in your car, it signals a coolant leak. Coolant plays a highly critical role in your vehicle. It circulates in the engine, heater core, hose, and radiator regulating the temperature to prevent overheating. It also helps in providing heat for your defrosting and cabin heating systems. When the coolant leaks, the amount circulating in your car significantly decreases, which is not good for your engine. How It Works The coolant fluid, a mixture of antifreeze and water, has specific chemical elements that draw heat out of your car's engine. The withdrawn air is transferred to heat your cabin or for defrosting. The coolant also contains anti-corrosive components that protect your car parts. What happens If You Drive with Little Coolan ... read more

All the trees and flowers are blooming once again, and it's essential to understand and fend against seasonal challenges. When it comes to your car, spraying it down with water may be a temporary fix, but it may not be enough. Pollen can sometimes have an acidic effect and eat away your car paint and more. To ensure you and your car are protected from pollen this season, please follow these tips: Wash and wax your car regularly - Pollen can get in every nook and cranny in your vehicle, which is why more frequent car washes are needed this time of year.

Furthermore, applying a layer of wax will make it more difficult for the pollen to cling onto your car. Check your engine filter - Over miles and miles of driving, your engine filter captures tons of dust, debris, and pollen so ... read more
