Air Conditioning Service & Repair

Blowing Hot Air?

Now that the hotter days are back, it is the time of year when your air conditioning failing you cannot be less convenient. Getting your car back in working, frigid condition is important to keep you comfortable in your own mobile home-away-from-home.

Refilling your air conditioning system's refrigerant is easy. Our Service Manager Bryon and his team can get your car cold as ice again in no time.

How did this happen?

Air conditioning systems are closed, which means they should not run out of coolant if they are properly maintained. One of the major causes of leaks is a lack of use in the winter months causing seals to dry out and crack.

In order to avoid these potential nightmares, it is better to run your air conditioning system several times during the winter months. Conveniently, the air conditioning compressor runs when the you choose the Defrost setting.

This makes running your car's Defrost cycle important, even if your windows stay clear. This is also true if you mix Defrost with Floor, or Vent, depending on your model's options making it easier to use in your daily winter routine.

I had it recharged, but now it's hot again!

The last time your air conditioning system ran hot it only needed a recharge. We added dye at that time to help find the leaks later, which means your system ran out again just as planned.

The time between when you recharged, and when it runs out can vary. Depending on how bad of a leak it is, it can last you the entire summer without another issue and then blow hot the next year, or happens only a month later.

Once this happens you can come by again and we will be able to find the leak and repair it. Your air conditioning system will need one last recharge before being back in good health.

A leak seems easy, so why should I worry?

Although a leak is the most common symptom of not running your air conditioning system throughout the year, another major issue is possible; your air conditioning compressor itself could fail. This is much more to repair than a leak, so we recommend against it.

Buying made simple.

Example of a Small Car.

Everyone loves simple, especially when it comes to buying a new car.  Going to a dealer and listening to a sales pitch can be rough.  It can be so easy to get lost in the numbers and figures and not even know if you are getting the best deal.

We make it simple by haggling the price for you.  We take the market value and bring it down a notch so you get more value, and less frustration.

Once you have chosen your vehicle, we will set you up with a clear, simple sales agreement that you can take to your bank.  Set up insurance, come back with a check, and a few days later the car is registered, inspected, serviced, and ready to go.  Simple!

Quality vehicles for less.

Our rental fleet is maintained by our Mechanics, so we stand behind our vehicles with a full 90-day warranty.  Most models even come with the rest of the manufacturer drive-train warranty, which can offer up to 60,000 mile protection!

Want to see the work history?  Just ask and we will show you everything.  Walk away confident in the vehicle you love, and knowing you have years to bond with your new ride.

Hybrid Sonata Rentals
2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrids are available to rent now! Call or click to book yours!

In our continuing effort to give the best rental options for our customers, we have added Hyundai’s Hybrid Sonatas to our fleet.  With limited availability, this new class of rental will help you save fuel for those longer trips – and even if you’re just travelling around town.

With an EPA estimated 39 mpg city and 42 mpg highway, get even more for your dollar at the pump.

The Hybrid class vehicles also offer a step up in style with standard Push-to-Start and proximity keys, dual-zone automatic climate control with Eco option, standard 5″ touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, HD Radio, and a Back-up Camera.  Make your rental experience even better in a Hybrid!

Hybrid Instrument Cluster
The Hyundai Sonata Hybrid instrument cluster helps you learn how to drive more economically. With clear, color-coded indicators, actively adjust your driving habits!

Driving a hybrid is not that different from a standard gas-powered vehicle.  Key differences include the engine turning off, and coming on when needed often throughout your drive.  At first, this is a little strange to experience, but it won’t take long to get used to it.

The instrument cluster also helps you learn to drive more economically with clearly color-coded indicators that help you keep your starts as green as possible – literally!

The hybrid Sonatas also include different ‘Drive Modes’ with an active button.  This allows you to choose from ‘Eco’, which is standard, ‘Sport’ mode to get more power when you need it, such as entering a highway, or passing a slower vehicle, and off.  Gain control over your drive and still get the best fuel economy in a rental fleet!

Want to learn more about the Hyundai Hybrids?  Check out Hyundai’s website for more information on the latest models.  Our 2016 models may differ in features or options.
