A car's AC unit

The air conditioning in your vehicle is crucial to its function, particularly on warm days. Driving in adverse conditions, including in extreme heat, can have a detrimental effect on your ability to concentrate while on the road. For this reason, it’s important that you contact your local Chevy dealer when you notice your car AC not working.


Why Is My Car AC Not Working? 

There are a number of reasons why your air conditioning unit might be faulty. One of the most common issues is a refrigerant leak, which means that the substance that cools your car is leaking. Usually, this is caused by the deterioration of your rubber seals and hoses. A refrigerant leak should always be fixed because the gas can cause a reaction with moisture that enters the system and corrode your AC, causing a bigger issue.

Another common reason for AC problems is broken cooling fans, either due to debris picked up from the road or because a fuse has been blown. Alternatively, there could be an issue with the compressor, which is the component that keeps the air moving around your vehicle. This often happens when the AC unit hasn’t been used for a while, such as throughout the colder period or when you haven’t driven your car in a long time.


Where to Go to Have It Fixed 

If you notice that your air conditioning unit is no longer switching on or you’re having trouble getting it to work, you should always get in touch with your local Chevrolet dealership. The mechanics there are trained to work with this brand, and they see a wide variety of Chevy cars on a daily basis. As a result, they will quickly recognize what the issue is and how it can be fixed.

Your Chevy mechanics will also be aware of the best tools to use on your vehicle, so it won’t be damaged. We always fit genuine spare parts that come directly from the Chevrolet manufacturers, which means that any replacement components will work optimally with your car.


Advantages of Working with Your Chevy Dealer 

Aside from the fact that our mechanics are highly skilled and always fix your vehicle optimally, there are other benefits to going with the local dealership. If you’re worried that we will charge more than a neighborhood mechanic, you should have a look at our specials and speak to a member of our team. We usually have some great offers that significantly lower the price of service, so you’ll benefit from great quality without having to pay more. 

Whenever you want to get in touch, you can do so by either filling out the online contact form, chatting with us on the website, giving us a call, or stopping by in person at the dealership. With so many easy ways to get in touch, you won’t be stuck no matter where or when your AC breaks.
