AC Service Steps

The service technician who will be responsible for your car will:

• Measure the pressure of the coolant in your car’s system
• If the pressure is low, add coolant to bring the pressure to the manufacturer’s specification
• Test your AC running it on high and use a special thermometer to measure the temperature at the vent

If the temperature is not within the parameters set by the automaker, you may have a leak. To find out, the technician hooks your car up to a special refrigerant recovery system. All hard lines will then be inspected for cracks. Sometimes a dye is used to help the technician in the investigation. Usually, expensive aluminum hard lines do not fail and do not need replacement. It is more likely that one of the components of the system has failed such as the compressor

Air Conditioner Compressor

Most late model cars with air conditioning use a refrigerant known as R 134A. The compressor spins at a very rapid speed to force the refrigerant to expand and become cold. The compressor is made to spin by your car’s serpentine belt. Ultimately, a compressor that is running an air conditioning unit that is used heavily will fail. To help your car’s air conditioning compressor have longer life, owners need to service their air conditioning systems at least one a year. The R 134A refrigerant needs to have oil added to it to make everything in your AC unit function smoothly. Premature compressor failure is often linked to insufficient oil. At Carson, we make sure that there is the correct amount and type of lubricant in your system when we service it.

Should your compressor need replacement we may ask your permission to replace some minor parts near the compressor, even if they have not failed. We do this as much of the cost of the compressor work is labor, and with the compressor taken out, getting to these parts is easy. It is preventative maintenance to protect you from a large repair bill in the future.

At Carson Cars Auto Repair all work is guaranteed. Call us now to schedule your Air Conditioning service: 425-905-2460 or contact us now.

These experts strongly recommend that fuel injectors be serviced at intervals suggested by the manufacturer and more frequently if your car is one that undergoes “hard use.” Hard use means that you often operate in hot environments or towing a load. Proper care of your fuel injectors cleans carbon and other contaminants out of the fuel injection system. This allows your fuel injection system to operate more efficiently. A more efficient fuel injection system means better mileage as more gas is converted to energy. Servicing your fuel injectors is good for your car, good for your wallet by avoiding costly repairs and good for the environment as your gas burns more efficiently.

When you are looking to modify your car with an exhaust system there are some things you must understand before installing them on your car. It is essential for each piece of the exhaust be installed and cared for correctly so it operates correctly and looks great.

One essential part of a Everett Sports Car Exhaust system is the silencer. The silencer is the part that controls the noise that the car makes when passing the exhaust through the exhaust system. A car with an unplanned hole in the system will sound bad and will make the car run roughly. A silencer is a piece of pipe that has been made with holes in it so the sound waves from the exhaust can pass through them. This keeps the overall noise of the engine kept to a chosen limit. After all some muscle car owners love to loud exhaust that sounds professional; a properly installed silencer can help get your desired result.

One technique that muscle car owners do is polishing the exhaust system inside and out. When an exhaust system is polished on the outside it gives an outstanding look to the car. On the inside though, it is polished for a completely different reason. The polished pipe allows for the exhaust to escape the chamber quickly. With the exhaust out of the chamber the engine can run more smoothly and efficiently.

The sports car exhaust system must also have the right shape so it complements the look of your car and allows the engine to run right. Some people will attempt to design their own system without putting thought into the overall process. It is recommended that there be four pipes that are fed into two pipes and lastly, the last two pipes are fed into one pipe. There are other variations that people can do but the 4-2-1 setup provides the best design for cars.

Your muscle car is yours to show off and talk about. By keeping the system looking good and having it installed correctly your car will operate perfectly the way you want it too.

What kind of tires do you need on your car or truck? All season tires are great for small amount of snow and rain. All season tires last from 50k to 80k. When going up to the pass or a long trip across the states and you know you’re going to be in some of the mountain ranges you should look into snow tires. There are many kinds of snow tires for each car or truck. You need to find the tire that suits your needs of the road your on. Studded snow tires are great for low noise and good grip of the road when its compacted snow and ice. Studded tires are great on ice but slide when you’re on just normal road due to the metal in the tires that grab the ice. The best thing to do is drive safe, slow down and see all around you.
