Your automobile’s climate control system does more than just keep you cool in summer and warm in winter; it also ensures your safety by venting excess humidity from the passenger compartment, thus preventing your windows from fogging up. So it should be in proper working condition at all times to guarantee good visibility. Rigorous regular car maintenance will quickly detect any possible leaks, defects or malfunctions and fix them before they get worse, helping you avoid more expensive repairs down the road. That’s why we recommend having your air conditioning system checked every year.
