Mechanics Who Work On Air Conditioning/heating Systems

Unless you live in the type of climate where the temperature is always between 65 and 75 degrees

, the humidity is perfect, and it never rains except when you're not driving your car, you have a great reliance on your car's heating and air conditioning system. Most of us live in parts of the world where we have frigid winters and scorching summers. According to answerbag.com, the average time we spend driving is 18 hours and 32 minutes every week. With that much time spent in our vehicles, our peace of mind is affected by the climate of our car and how well it keeps us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Air conditioning and heating share a number of elements. Both use the vehicle's blower system to force air. Both are attached to the engine's cooling system. The heater uses a small radiator to adjust the temperature of the car. The air conditioner uses a compressor system and coolant. Many places offer a recharge service for A/C, but if the coolant is low, it usually means there's a leak that needs repairing. Leaks and broken system components will need a qualified servicer in order to get everything back to working order.

So when you start to notice that the heater or air conditioner isn't working properly, you start looking for a servicer who can take care of the problem as soon as possible. Here are some tips to help you get the best service for the best price.

The first thing to check is if your car is still under warranty. Call your dealer to see if the malfunction is covered under your car's actual or extended warranty, or if there is a recall regarding the issue. A dealer will usually offer good service and will have a working knowledge of your car's model, but the prices charged for non-warranty work might be prohibitively high.

When checking your area for a servicer, check to be sure they have the proper certification for this type of repair. Not only should they be ASE-certified, they should also be MVAC-certified to work on automotive heating and cooling systems.

Do your homework and use the resources on the internet to get specific information. Information on certifications and ratings, plus customer feedback is readily available. Don't be frightened off by a bad review or two. It's almost impossible to find any business with no negative comments, but watch out for overwhelming numbers of bad notices, or even worse, no notices at all. Also remember that people are more likely to post a bad review than a good one, so give extra weight to good reviews.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations. If you have a regular servicer who doesn't do this type of work, ask for a recommendation. And most importantly, shop around. Check prices and qualifications on a number of shops. It's the only way to find the best servicer.
