It's summertime in Texas once again. That means the heat will be cranked up to well over 90 to even 100+ degrees. Plus, you'll also be going about business as usual on the weekdays, while hopefully, the weekends are reserved for summer family fun.

Tommy's Hi-Tech Auto Repair, your mechanic in Denton, TX, wants to remind you that your air conditioning system should get the extra attention it needs this summer. Here are some of the common car AC problems that can go wrong on the hottest of days.

These issues can occur anytime, anywhere, even in the dead of summer. If you want to stay informed, here are some of the most common AC issues to know about so you can prevent them by stopping by your local auto repair shop in Denton, TX.

Let's begin with the first problem that you need to prevent:

1. A non-working AC

No cold air blowing out. No hot air blowing out. The entire unit is not doing anything.

This is a problem not only for you but also for your passengers. If you sit in a hot vehicle while stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, it will lead to serious consequences. Long-term exposure to heat while sitting in your vehicle can cause heat-related illnesses that can lead to death.

Tommy's Hi-Tech Auto Repair believes that your health and safety are important when driving around Texas this summer. We offer a stand-alone AC check to ensure that it's in working condition.

If we notice anything unusual, we'll fix it right away after your approval. All replacement parts (if needed) come with a 7 year/77,000-mile warranty. Plus, financing is available if you can't pay the entirety of the repair bill up front.

2. Mold buildups

Not only is heat an issue for most people this summer, but so are allergies. You can be sneezing, coughing, sniffling, along with itchy watery eyes. A lot of mold in your AC unit can trigger this.

Of course, to make matters worse, cranking up the AC will exacerbate the problem. It's important to keep your AC clean yourself or have one of our mechanics at Tommy's Hi-Tech Auto Repair get the job done for you. Either way, a safe and healthy drive is exactly what you need.

Of course, a lot of sneezing can lead to an accident. We might not have heard stories about sneezes causing accidents. But we won't be surprised if it happened somewhere.

3. Worn or broken parts

As your parts wear down or approach the end of their lifespan, you'll know about it by the sounds of grinding, clanking, or a similar but scary noise. If you need these parts replaced, we'll get the job done. In fact, we can usually replace the parts later that same day after your approval.

While we do that, you can use one of our pre-inspected loaner vehicles. If you have to go to work, run errands, or take the kids somewhere, then you can use the car all day while yours is being serviced. We believe in offering you the best convenience possible anyway we can.
