Here’s a snapshot of common air conditioning snags we can handle for you:

  • Condenser Troubles: If your AC isn’t cooling properly, debris could be blocking your condenser, hampering the heat release from the refrigerant.
  • Compressor Issues: The heart of your AC system, the compressor, might be on the fritz if you hear unusual noises whenever you turn the air conditioning on.

Don’t sweat it out—drive into Neal’s Garage and let us restore the cool comfort to your car with expert service and care.

Get ahead of the heat

North Carolina summers are hard on A/C systems, and small problems tend to become expensive ones. Spring is the best time for a check — see getting your car’s A/C ready for summer.

Heat also works the engine’s cooling system. If your coolant is due — we recommend every 30,000 miles — have a coolant flush at the same visit, and read what to do if your car overheats.
