Did you realize that the average warranty for the United States is only 24mo/24kmiles? We believe the only true proof of excellence is when an auto shop stands behind its work. We offer a 5-year and/or 6-month guarantee on all our work. There are many shops that can work on European Automobiles. Think Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen, Porche, Audi, etc. H&I Automotive has one of Europe's most respected technicians. We are proud to offer European Auto Service. While it may still be spring according to the calendar, hot summer weather is already here. It's time to think about summer preventative service for your vehicle. You should conduct preventative maintenance no matter the season.
The most important part of your HVAC system is the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter is crucial for comfort. However, it can also cause problems with other parts of the car. Your engine will work harder than it should, making it work longer than usual. It will last longer and work less efficiently. Your HVAC system will run more efficiently and heat your car less in summer.
After the vehicle has been inspected and the refrigerant levels measured, and no major malfunctions identified, the technician will conduct an evacuation and recharge procedure to check for any evidence of leaks. After the system has been thoroughly vacuumed and no leaks have been identified, the recharging process can begin. To identify future leaks, the recharging procedure adds refrigerant to the system.
Sooner than later, the engine accessory drive belts of your car, timing belts, coolant hoses, and timing belts will start to dry out. Regular inspections coupled with timely replacement of the automotive belt and hose will help prevent costly repairs and roadside accidents. Car AC systems need to be looked after. Regular maintenance is necessary for the car heater to be in good condition. H&I Automotive in your area can service your heater or air conditioner to keep your car comfortable at all temperatures.
No one likes bad smelling A/Cs. There are two main causes of bad A/C smells. One is old, dirty air in the cabin filter. An evaporator box that has developed mold could be a sign of more serious problems. An AC can fail for many reasons, as mentioned above. This could be due to a problem within one of its components or a leakage in one of its hoses. It is important that an AC failure be reported to a licensed repair shop. No refrigerant may be released into the air, as per law.

There are a few options to help you detect leaks in your A/C. One option is black light-enabled coloring. Many refrigerants come with UV dyes. This allows them to be visible under the black light. You also have the "sniffer," which can be used to detect any potential leaks by focusing on chemical compounds within the refrigerant. Ask your service technician about this option!
