Why Now is the Best Time to Check Your Air Conditioning System

As we head into the summer months and the temperatures begin to climb, there's one system in your vehicle you don't want to ignore—your air conditioning (A/C). Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or planning a long summer road trip, your comfort (and safety) depends on a properly functioning A/C system.

At Old Town Auto Service, we’ve been helping drivers stay cool for 50 years, and we know the signs to look for before the real heat sets in. In celebration of our 50th anniversary, we’re offering a limited-time $50 off any A/C repairs of $250 or more. Now is the perfect time to schedule your A/C inspection—and here’s why.

1. Beat the Summer Rush

One of the biggest reasons to get your A/C system inspected now is to avoid the seasonal rush. Once the temperatures hit their peak, repair shops tend to fill up fast with appointments. Proactive drivers who schedule their inspection early can enjoy shorter wait times, better appointment availability, and peace of mind before the summer heat wave hits.

Getting ahead of the crowd means you're less likely to be caught without A/C when you need it the most—especially during family trips, long commutes, or traffic-heavy days.

2. Ensure Maximum Cooling Performance

A well-maintained A/C system doesn’t just blow cold air—it does so efficiently. If your system is low on refrigerant, has a clogged condenser, or a failing compressor, it won’t cool as quickly or effectively. These issues can strain your entire HVAC system, reduce fuel efficiency, and cause long-term damage if ignored.

Early detection through an inspection ensures your vehicle’s A/C is running at peak performance and ready to handle the summer heat without breaking a sweat—or your budget.

3. Prevent Costly Repairs Later

Many A/C system issues start small—like a minor refrigerant leak or a worn belt—but can quickly turn into major repairs if left unchecked. When you delay service, a small leak can damage the compressor, or contaminants can cause a complete system failure.

Catching these problems early during an inspection can save you hundreds of dollars and prevent inconvenient breakdowns when temperatures soar.

4. Stay Comfortable and Safe on the Road

Comfort isn't just a luxury in the summer—it’s a safety issue too. Driving in a hot car can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and distraction. If you’re planning any road trips this summer, a working A/C is crucial for you and your passengers, especially children, elderly family members, or pets.

A properly functioning A/C also helps with defogging your windows, maintaining visibility and safety during sudden summer storms or humid mornings.

5. Celebrate 50 Years with a Cool Deal: $50 Off Repairs

As a family-owned and operated business serving the community for over 50 years, we at Old Town Auto Service are excited to thank our loyal customers with a special offer: $50 off any A/C repairs of $250 or more.
