Better Fuel Economy & A Happy Compressor
One of the most expensive parts to replace or repair in your car is the compressor. While one or both will inevitably happen, keeping up with regular preventative maintenance will keep expensive repairs at bay. Many issues with the compressor are simple to fix when they’re caught early on, such as leaks and blockages. If you don’t catch them early, however, those small problems can quickly grow into big, expensive repairs.
Not only that but keeping up with air conditioning maintenance can also improve fuel efficiency.
Generally, your car tends to burn through more gas when you’re using the A/C. However, if the cooling system is overdue for maintenance, in particular needing a new air filter, it can further impact fuel economy.
