If Car Air Conditioning Quits in the Summer, Time For Mobile Mechanics

We should all admit we have a dependence on our air conditioning when the hot weather arrives. In Melbourne, the high summer months can see temperatures nearing highs of 40 degrees C and lows of 24 degrees C which puts a strain on both bodies and the vehicle air conditioning system. Your body has to work hard at staying cool while your air conditioner pumps refrigerant trying to maintain a decent interior temperature.

No one likes doing without air conditioning, but the units need lots of tender loving care on a regular basis in order to continue functioning efficiently through the strain of hot days. Waiting until the unit breaks is not a good plan, especially when you can have a mobile mechanic do on-site maintenance including the following.

* Insure refrigerant is not leaking

* Clean condenser to prevent air flow problems

* Recharge car air conditioning system

* Insure air conditioning lines and vents are not clogged

Of course, autos and trucks air conditioning units can be perverse at times and break down despite following a careful maintenance plan. When the car air conditioning quits in the summer, it seems like the most important repair on the face of the earth. Driving to work, travelling on holiday, or delivering the kids to school, while sweating profusely the entire time, is no fun. In fact, it can be downright miserable.

Shaken Not Stirred...Cold Not Cool

In the James Bond movies, the secret agent always ordered his martinis "shaken not stirred". When it comes to air conditioners, the order to the mobile car care service is going to be "cold not cool". In other words, you can have a charged air conditioning system that still refuses to blow cold. When its 40oC outside, cool is just not going to suffice. You want cold!

There are many different kinds of air conditioning repairs mobile care mechanics can complete on-site including at work, home, at family's house, or wherever it is convenient. These repairs include the following for example.

* Cooling fan that has quit working

* Air in the refrigerant

* Blocked condenser

* Broken compressor

* Broken pressure switches

* Corrosion

* Hole in lines

* Electrical problems

These are just a few of the types of automotive air conditioning repairs that might be necessary, and a certified technician can complete any of them wherever your car is parked. You can schedule a repair at your convenience and your choice of location. The services are available for both personal and fleet purposes.

Hot Winds and Cold Temperatures

When the hot northerly winds blow into Melbourne, the temperature rises. Car air conditioning has to work longer and harder than usual, and it's nice to know your unit is as prepared for the summer months as possible. Mobile air conditioning service can provide the preventive maintenance needed. But even if the air condition quits, the on-site services are comprehensive and can turn your cool air back into cold.

It's aggravating when air conditioning doesn't work correctly because it goes without saying it will be during a time when you need it most. You don't have to drive around in a hot car wondering when you'll have time to give up your car for a day while the air conditioning is getting fixed...not when mobile air conditioning service is available.

Dispose Your Used Car Through Reputable Car Salvage

If you are looking to sell your car because it is too expensive to maintain or repair, and it's at the end of its life, look for a car salvage to get some cash on the disposable care.

If you are thinking - how do I sell my car - make sure you find out what it's worth in its current inoperable condition and to minimize costs and maximize gains, look for online buyers or potential buyers in your area.

How to sell your used car - Step 1

Evaluate the worth of your car in its current condition. The most reliable vehicle valuation guides are the NADA Guide and The Kelley Blue Book. They provide estimations on your vehicles worth based on the make, model no., year of manufacture, and overall condition of the vehicle. You can access these guides online or get copies in print. The online guides carry details about cars less than 20 years old only.

How to sell your used car - Step 2

Publicize in your neighborhood. Once you have evaluated the worth of your can, you can place a classified ad in your city paper, put up posters and also place adds online on sites like Craigslist to locate potential buyers in your area who are on the look out for non-running salvageable cars. Remember be honest in the ad and make it interesting by highlighting special features of your care like customized parts and finishing or a sought after classic model.

How to sell your used car - Step 3

Get in touch with car salvage operators and junk yards. Car salvage companies and junk yards deal in inoperable cars. The companies provide the facility of towing the car to the salvage yard or junk yard and also pay you in cash. Please ensure you have the car title ready as proof of ownership which is something a reputable company will always check.

You can search the internet or local are phone directory to locate companies in your area. Even though junkyards and car salvage companies typically pay $200 or less for inoperable cars, you don't have many other options to safely dispose off an inoperable car.

How to sell your used car - Step 4

Use eBay to auction your car. If you feel your car is worth more than the offer of the car salvage company, you should look at auctioning it on eBay. This opens up access to those buyers in your area who operate online only and you may have not been able to locate them otherwise. However, before jumping on the online auction bandwagon you should learn 'how to sell my used car on eBay' also!

How to sell your used car - Step 5

Sell the parts of your car. Separate the parts from the whole and sell each valuable piece individually rather than disposing of the whole car. In fact, this means you are functioning as an in house car salvage operator! You can sell parts like tyres, rims, lights and even the smaller items at a much more profitable rate individually than as part of the car.

Exterior Car Care

Exterior car care is very important to keep your car running in prime condition. Also, it allows you to make your car really stand out with a special look that not many other cars in your neighbourhood will have.

Many cars have been designed with special layers of paint that help protect the main layer of paint from corrosion or other damage. This special top layer has been put on most cars since the early 1980's and is about as thick as a trash bag. Frequently washing your vehicle, about once every week and polishing your car about once every six months will help protect the investment you made in your car.

One of the best times to wash your vehicle is after a rain storm. This is because all of the acid rain that has hit the paint on your car can cause a lot of damage sitting on your car. If you wash off your car, the acid rain will be removed and your car will look a lot better. If you drive on muddy roads or live on a dirt road you should consider getting an occasional undercarriage treatment at the local car wash. This will remove the caked dirt from under you car and enable you to remove the moisture that this dirt accumulates.

Driving in snow and sleet can add to the problems of acid rain as road salt does not like having to deal with your car. Stone chips on your car can also cause serious problems. If you do not fix them by applying paint, you can cause them to corrode and ruin the body of your car. Also, you can fix deep scratches on your car in a very similar manor. Just apply the paint to the area where the scratch is and everything should blend in very well with the car.

If you follow all of these helpful tips you should have a car that will look nice on the road and sitting at home for many years to come. Although these tips may seem stupid and moronic to many, it actually does help to keep your car looking nice. Imagine if you wanted to trade in your car one day and the dealer declined it due to rust issues you could have fixed for a nominal cost yourself. You probably will be so irritated with yourself that you didn't pay the cost then.

Frequent car washing is one of the best things you can do for your car. Best of all, you can do it at home for nothing more than your time and the cost of the water coming out of the hose. Then again, you can also take your car to the local car wash and get it fully washed, waxed, and undercarriage cleaned for around $8-$10 depending on your location in the U.S. After all, doing some preventative maintenance on your car will let you keep driving a vehicle that looks and runs great for many years to come!
