Mechanic's Tip: Avoid Costly AC Repairs with This Simple Check

Royalty Auto Service in the US recently shared a video demonstrating a common problem with car air conditioning systems. The video features mechanic Chris, who explains that many shops only address AC issues when a car owner reports a problem, like blowing warm air. Chris states, "No more ‘Come back when it messes up again’…", advocating for proactive maintenance. The video shows a significant refrigerant leak in a 2012 Ford Escape, easily detectable with a UV dye. Chris explains that running the compressor without refrigerant can damage it. He notes that this used to be a common practice but is now avoidable with modern leak detection technology. The video is a reminder for car owners to insist on thorough AC checks and avoid costly future repairs. Royalty Auto Service is using this video to highlight their commitment to quality service and customer satisfaction.
