Why Choose Warrenton Tire & Auto Care for Your Vehicle's A/C and Heating Needs?

Over time, your vehicle's heating and A/C systems can degrade with use, making regular maintenance vital for a pleasant driving environment. At Warrenton Tire & Auto Care, we offer comprehensive air conditioning repair and heating system maintenance to keep your vehicle's cabin temperature just right, no matter the season.

Functions of Heating and A/C Systems

Heating and A/C systems work to keep your car cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. In addition, the A/C system operates as a defroster during the colder months. The heating system comprises a heater core, a fan, and hoses that distribute warmth from the engine throughout the vehicle. The A/C system operates similarly, delivering coolant to the fan to circulate cool air in the cabin.

Signs of Heating and A/C Complications

• A/C blows only slightly cooler than the outside air
• Air that blows in smells damp, musty, or like mildew
• Cabin does not heat up in cold weather, or is only slightly warmer than outside
• Defroster takes longer than usual to operate, blows in unclean air, or doesn't work
• Heating or air conditioning only operates when driving, not when idling, or stops blowing when the car is stationary
• Heater blows cold air, or the A/C blows warm
• Vents do not push out much air at the highest setting
