A failing or non-functioning air conditioning can be a major inconvenience, and of course a/c systems seem to fail at the worst possible time – usually during the hottest day of the year. If your car's AC is no longer working as it should, it could be due to low refrigerant (Freon) levels. In such instances, an auto air conditioning refill (recharge) is what your car needs to resume offering a cool breeze.  A/C refrigerant gas (Freon) is the key component of the auto a/c system. If your vehicle is low on Freon, a/c system will not function effectively, you may get only slightly cooled air. If the system lost all Freon, a/c will not provide any cooling. At Adams Autoworx in Albany we offer A/C checkup and refill. We verify that the AC system has no leaks, and top up (recharge) the refrigerant if needed.

If the water pump fails, it will likely lead to engine overheating, and engine damage, which in the worst case scenario may necessitate engine replacement. At Adams Autowrox Albany we can provide complete cooling system inspection, service and repairs.
