Here are a few tips you can do yourself to make sure your car’s air conditioner is working properly:

• Turn on your air condition to the coldest setting, make sure all the vents are working and that the air is cold
• Test the air condition fan speeds, you should have varying fan speeds from low to high
• If you smell a foul order when the air conditioner is turned on, it means there may be a buildup of bacteria or mold in the system. Have this taken care of right away by your service professional
• Most car air conditioners will last many, many years with no problems, but it should be inspected and tested every three years
• Check your service records to see when was the last time you replaced the cabin air conditioner filter
• Inspect under the hood at the bottom of the windshield, near the wiper blades, for a buildup of leaves.  Leaves can block the incoming vents and reduce the performance of the air conditioner
• Also check for a buildup of leaves behind the front grill, which can also reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner
• When the air conditioner is on, listen for any unusual noises from the dashboard or under the hood

It’s a long summer ahead of us, so stay cool behind the wheel!
