Stay Cool with Summer Car Care at Almost Auto Service

/

With summer temperatures rising across Georgia, now is the time to prepare your vehicle for the season ahead. Whether you're heading to the beach, commuting around Clarkston, or navigating weekend traffic on I-285, your car needs to be in peak condition to handle the heat.

We help local drivers gear up for summer with complete heat protection and seasonal maintenance — from A/C inspections to fluid checks and more. If you’ve been delaying your A/C service, now’s the time to make sure your system is ready to keep you cool.

Why Summer Maintenance Matters

Georgia’s summer heat impacts more than your comfort — it puts stress on key systems throughout your vehicle, including:

  • The air conditioning system

  • Radiator and cooling system

  • Tires and inflation levels

  • Battery and electrical components

That’s why having your vehicle inspected before the heat kicks into full gear is important.

Common Signs Your A/C Needs Attention

If you’ve ever stepped into a sweltering car on a hot afternoon, you already know how vital a functioning air conditioning system is. Here are signs it’s time for a checkup:

  • Air isn’t blowing as cold as it used to

  • Strange smells from the vents

  • Loud noises when the A/C is on

  • It takes too long to cool the cabin

  • Only warm air blows, even on full blast

These could indicate low refrigerant, a clogged filter, or worn components like the compressor or blower motor — all issues our techs can quickly diagnose and fix.
