4 Tips to Keep Your Car’s A/C Working All Summer Long

ALTERNATIVE • July 1, 2025

There's nothing worse than hopping into your car on a hot Missouri day and realizing your A/C isn't blowing cold. Whether you're running errands or road-tripping from Winfield, keeping your car's air conditioning in good shape is a must during summer.

Here are 4 simple ways to make sure your A/C stays ice cold:

1. Replace the Cabin Air Filter

A clogged cabin filter makes your A/C work harder than it should. If it's been a while, let us check and replace it to keep that cool air flowing strong.

2. Keep the Condenser Clean

The condenser sits at the front of your car and can collect bugs, dirt, and debris. If it gets blocked, your A/C loses efficiency. We can give it a quick clean during your next service.

3. Check Your Refrigerant Level

Low refrigerant = warm air. If you're not feeling that chill, it might be time for a recharge. We'll check your system for leaks and refill it properly.

4. Watch for Warning Signs
Weird smells, weak airflow, or strange noises? Don’t ignore them. These are early signs your A/C system needs attention before it breaks down completely.
