Stay Cool All Summer Long with Auto A/C Services from AAMCO. We'll visually inspect hoses, lines, seals and other components for leaks, check temperature readings, check that your compressor is operating properly and inspect the drive belt for cracks or damage. You may simply need a recharge of the refrigerant or the inspection could call for other service, like a new compressor. Plus, your air conditioning belt drives many other components in your vehicle, meaning a broken belt can have a much worse impact than simply an uncomfortable trip. It takes an expert to tell, so take your car to AAMCO and let the experts give you the peace of mind knowing that your vehicle will keep you cooler and safer.

Our AAMCO center can provide all of your vehicle's service needs specified in the owner's manual. Our skilled technicians perform a wide range of services, making our AAMCO center your one-stop shop for all of your vehicle's repairs and maintenance.

A well-maintained battery gives you peace of mind, whether you're out on the road or the weather turns cold. An AAMCO technician will inspect the battery connections, the hardware, the condition of the case, the electrolyte level (where applicable) and the battery load (its ability to perform its function). The technician inspects the alternator belts, brackets and connections and tests voltage and current. Finally, the starter is inspected for proper connections and mounting and is tested to see how much electrical power is required to turn over the engine when the engine is cranked. Based on this expert diagnosis, your AAMCO center will recommend the service that's right for you and replace only the needed components.

Come to AAMCO today if your vehicle overheats, your coolant or temperature light comes on, your temperature gauge reads higher or lower than normal or your heater does not work.

We can repair or replace any of the following components of the cooling system: the radiator, radiator cap, radiator hoses and radiator fan or fan clutch, thermostats, waterpumps, fan belts and serpentine belts, temperature sensors, heater cores and hoses.

Come to AAMCO when it's time for your vehicle's Serpentine Belt Replacement Service. Serpentine belts are critical to the operation of a number of your vehicle's components, from the water pump to the power steering pump to the alternator to the air conditioning. That's why it's important to have the serpentine belt inspected regularly-it is a part of AAMCO's Vehicle Courtesy Check . A worn serpentine belt is not always obvious, so it's important to have it changed according to your vehicle manufacturer's specifications. Timely replacement could mean the difference between trouble-free operation and just plain old trouble.

If a Vehicle Courtesy Check finds your problem is only with your clutch and cannot be corrected by external adjustments, your certified AAMCO expert technician will then remove your vehicle's transmission and examine the clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel and related components, then replace any required worn or damaged components to meet AAMCO's exacting standards and restore clutch performance. AAMCO will then reinstall the transmission, check the transmission fluid and top it off and perform a lift check to ensure proper clutch installation and adjustment. Your vehicle is then road tested to ensure proper transmission and clutch performance and your car, truck or SUV will be ready to go for many miles to come.
