This Could Happen to Your Car

I’ve sent out  a few emails in the past letting you know that when the dirt, leaves and debris build up below your windshield it could cause problems with your air conditioning system. More specifically your evaporator core. Well I still see so many cars with debris below the windshield I thought would remind y'all again.

This evaporator core fails because the dirt, leaves and debris enter the evaporator case through the exterior air intake vents and come in contact with the evaporator surface. This moist atmosphere causes decomposition of the organic materials, and can form caustic corrosive substances which can eventually perforate the surface of the evaporator. These same substances can also sometimes lead to an odor

problem inside the vehicle, most noticeable when the system is first operated.

Clearing off the dirt, leaves and debris will help cut down on the chances of your evaporator core going bad. This is important as the replacement cost depending on your vehicle is $2500 to $3500. Keeping that area clean does not guarantee you won’t ever have to replace your evaporator core however it gives you a lot better chance of not

If you look at the photos a major cost is the fact of replacing the evaporator core is it located behind the dash and takes 20 plus hours of labor to get to it.

Spring Break, Springtime, Pollen Season and a New Cabin Filter

This is the time of year that so many of you dread with that awful yellow pollen being everywhere. For those of you who suffer from allergies I truly feel for you. Fortunately the pollen only bothers me a little bit with scratchy eyes and a mild sniffle. It’s funny the fall air tends to bother me much more.

Well here’s a helpful suggestion for you.

One of the things you can do to help yourself is to make sure your cabin filter is changed on a regular basis. If you drive much in Atlanta your car’s ventilation system captures not just the pollen but also the nastiness from the outside air finds it way into your car. The cabin filter may only need to be changed once a year however if you drive a lot and have allergies you might want to change it 2-3 times a year.

Don’t forget to get your vehicle checked out before Spring Break or any road trip. We also have added a couple of new Technicians to make getting your appointment easier

I have to say I am very thankful after the rainy rainy rainy winter. I love the Springtime Sunshine.
