A/C check you can do for free

To do a basic a/c test on your car turn your a/c on high and put a thermometer in the vent and read temp. Then put the thermometer down by your feet (wait for the thermometer to change). A good working a/c will have at least a 20 degree temp difference between the air going into the a/c and the air out the vent.

If you need your a/c serviced schedule an appointment online or give us a call. 314-968-2992

Hot weather car tip

Keep your fuel pump cool. Most cars today have a fuel
pump in the gas tank, The pump will stay cooler if you keep your gas tank level above 1/8th tank this will keep the fuel pump submerged in the tank (like a swimming pool) and prevent fuel pump overheat!!
