Remember Last Summer?

It may seem like a distant memory right now, but the average high temperature in the Kansas City area, even in the month of May, is 75 degrees…and you know where it goes from there!  One of the most dangerous places for someone to be during a heat wave is inside of their car without A/C since temperatures can spike to dangerous levels.

What are some early warning signs that your vehicle’s a/c needs servicing?

1.  The condenser is blocked.  It could even be broken altogether.
2.  Somewhere along the line the refrigerant is leaking.
3.  There is an electrical issue which may be difficult to diagnose.
4.  The compressor has gone bad and the refrigerant can’t circulate.

Call the A-Team!  What’s that?  The A-Team is Kansas City’s answer to most every auto repair and maintenance problem.  They are officially Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  It may not seem like air conditioning season now, but it will soon.  Give Able Auto Service a call at (913) 321-1030.

Your Car Should NOT be a Bouncy Castle.

Have you ever seen a big ole’ car bouncing up and down the road?  Sometimes they may even make a right turn and it seems like they are going to actually topple over.  Is that you?  Those are two common signs that a shock or strut in your suspension system has gone bad.  Costly repairs may be just around the corner!

Here are some warning signs to watch for –


1.  Your ride quality has changed.
2.  Nose diving when you hit the brakes.
3.  “Body roll”…there is a leaning when you turn.
4.  When you hit the accelerator the momentum is transferred to the rear end.
5.  Look for any visible damage including dents and leaks.

When all is said and done The A-Team just wants to maintain your suspension system and keep you on the road without (hopefully) any major repairs.  The A-Team is the amazing group of mechanics at Able Auto Service located at 837 Osage Ave. in Kansas City KS.  Give them a call for any and all auto repairs at (913) 321-1030.
