Dodge AC Service 101

Our air conditioners are undoubtedly getting a workout this summer in Las Vegas. And the last thing you want is to end up in the car when the AC fails. That’s why we recommend Dodge AC service at Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM.  

What Does AC Service on a Vehicle Entail?  

During your service appointment, our technician will hook up your vehicle to a special refrigerant recovery system, which is used to drain harmful gases from your car. Then, we’ll thoroughly inspect your system’s hard lines to look for cracks or unusual wear. Lastly, we’ll test it to make sure everything is functioning efficiently.  

How Often Do I Need AC Service?  

Typically, we suggest drivers schedule air conditioning service at least once a year. Usually, you’ll want to schedule service before the summer begins and it really starts to heat up. So, if you’ve reached this point in the season and still haven’t come in for an AC checkup, we recommend you schedule an appointment as soon as you can. Service doesn’t just keep your vehicle cool and comfortable — it can also help make your vehicle more fuel-efficient. 

How Do I Know if My Vehicle Needs Service Sooner?  

It’s important to stick to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule. However, there are times when you may need service even more often. If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to visit our trained technicians for service sooner than later: 

• Your air conditioning system is blowing warm air 
• The pressure of your air is low 
• You notice rattling or humming in your system 
• Your system emits a strange odor
