Full air conditioning and heating service: we check the whole system, from the blower, hoses and belts to the radiator, and repair what's worn.

## At a glance

- Warranty: 12 months or 12,000 miles on our repairs and services, nationwide through AnywhereCare

Living in New Jersey, effective vehicle air conditioning is essential. Unfortunately, it's also a system that can go wrong quite easily, and it needs regular maintenance to stay in good working condition. Our ASE-certified technicians can carry out a full auto air conditioning and heating service at our Fanwood shop.

## Heating, before winter arrives

Don't wait until the harsh winter days arrive to check that your vehicle's heating system is in top condition. If you notice it's not running quite as it should, or know the filters haven't been changed for a while, let our technicians sort it out for you. We provide comprehensive heating service, checking that everything is working as it should and replacing or repairing any components that show signs of wear.

A broken heating or cooling system won't make your car unusable, but it will make it uncomfortable. In winter, a broken heater can actually make it dangerous to drive.

## What we check

When you have your heating and air conditioning evaluated at our shop, we look at the entire system to catch minor problems before they become major ones:

- the blower
- the interior vent air temperature
- air pressure, checked against manufacturer specifications
- hoses, for leaks
- belts
- the radiator, because of its potential to impact your heating and cooling

We'll also ask about any symptoms you've noticed, because the signs of a failing system can be subtle. Is the cabin taking longer than normal to heat or cool? Do you notice a mildew or moldy smell when you use the heat or A/C? Is the defroster working properly? Has the airflow decreased? Do the heat or A/C have problems while the car is idling?

## Radiators and coolant

Rust and sludge can form in your cooling system, which is why regularly flushing your radiator is important maintenance. If your radiator is not functioning properly, we can address that as well. How often you need a coolant flush depends on the type of coolant in your vehicle.

Signs of a coolant leak include a puddle under the vehicle, a coolant level that keeps dropping, a temperature gauge running hotter than normal, steam from the engine compartment and a distinctive sweet odor. If the temperature light comes on, your engine is overheating: do not keep driving. Clear, odorless water under the car after you've used the A/C, on the other hand, is often just normal condensation. Our post on [liquid leaking from your car](/blog/liquid-leaking-from-car/) explains how to tell the difference.

## The right parts

Good workmanship is a crucial part of a successful air conditioning repair, but the right part also plays a vital role. We source our parts carefully, choosing well-known manufacturers who we know offer exceptional parts at a competitive price. Good-quality parts tend to perform more effectively than inferior options, and they last longer too.

## Questions

### What do you check during an A/C and heating service?

We evaluate the entire system to detect minor problems before they become major ones: the blower, the interior vent air temperature, air pressure against manufacturer specifications, hoses for leaks, belts, and the radiator, because of its potential to impact your heating and cooling.

### Is it normal for water to drip under my car after using the A/C?

Usually. Clear, odorless water that appears after using the air conditioning, especially on warm or humid days, is often just condensation. If you're unsure about the liquid, or it has an unusual smell or texture, have it checked.
