Automotive Tips from Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Lockport: Air Conditioning Inspection

February 5, 2023

Most auto manufacturers recommend an interval for an air conditioning system inspection. The inspection uncovers leaks, worn hoses and assesses the condition of the other components.

Environmental laws in some around Lockport require leaks to be repaired before refrigerant can be added. Also some parts manufacturers require other components to be replaced along with certain failed parts in order to maintain the new part warranty. This is because a given failure may be the result of another worn or damaged part that will, if not replaced, prematurely damage the new component.

Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Lockport in Lockport is fully equipped to restore your flow of cool air.
