When the Tennessee summer heat is at its peak, nothing feels better than stepping into your car and being greeted by an icy blast of air. Unfortunately, many drivers find that their A/C just isn’t keeping up when the temperature soars. At Hendersonville Muffler and Brakes, Justin Hunter and his team are here to make sure your vehicle stays cool, comfortable, and reliable all season long. From quick A/C diagnostics to complete system repairs, they’re the trusted local pros you can count on to keep your ride chill.
Here are 4 key tips to help you keep your car’s A/C blowing cold and when to bring it to the experts.
1️⃣ Schedule a Yearly A/C Inspection
One of the best ways to prevent A/C trouble is to get it checked before the hottest part of the summer. During an inspection, our techs check refrigerant levels, compressor operation, and system pressure. We’ll also look for leaks that could leave you sweating on the side of West Main Street or during your commute from Gallatin or Goodlettsville.
Pro tip: Even if your A/C is blowing cold, a small refrigerant leak can grow quickly. Fix it early to save money and stay cool.
2️⃣ Keep Your Cabin Air Filter Clean
Your cabin air filter plays a huge role in airflow. A clogged filter makes your system work harder, which can cause weak cooling and even strain your blower motor.
If you often drive down Vietnam Veterans Boulevard or on dusty back roads near White House, your filter may need replacing more often. At Hendersonville Muffler and Brakes, we can check and replace your filter in minutes no appointment hassle.
3️⃣ Run Your A/C Regularly
Even in cooler months, turning your A/C on for a few minutes every couple of weeks helps keep seals lubricated and prevents refrigerant loss. This is especially important for work trucks and family vehicles that sit unused for stretches of time.
Justin Hunter’s shop has seen plenty of A/C systems fail simply because they sat too long without running. Keeping the system active year-round helps avoid a surprise repair bill in July.
4️⃣ Watch for Warning Signs
If you notice warm air, unusual noises, or a musty smell from your vents, it’s time to stop by. These could be signs of low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or mold buildup in the evaporator core.
Hendersonville Muffler and Brakes offers same-day service for most A/C repairs so you can get back to enjoying a refreshing drive along Indian Lake Boulevard or heading to Old Hickory Lake without sweating it out.
A Real-World Example
Just last week, a customer from Springfield came in after her A/C suddenly stopped cooling during a grocery run. Our team quickly found a worn-out compressor clutch.
“They got me back on the road in just a few hours honest, fast, and affordable!”
She left with ice-cold air and the peace of mind that her system was ready for the rest of the summer.
