Scottsbluff Auto Repair

Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment when you are driving around Scottsbluff. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.A common A/C problem for Scottsbluff drivers that visit Twin City Auto is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air). The inside of the A/C hoses deteriorates over time and tiny fragments of rubber clog passages. This makes the system less efficient and overworks various components.Leaks can develop at seals and gaskets and may reduce the amount of refrigerant, causing the system to work too hard to compensate. Dirty components can have the same consequences.Ask your Twin City Auto service advisor for an air conditioning system inspection to make sure everything is up to spec.Twin City Auto1802 E Overland Suite #4Scottsbluff, NE 69361308.635.7404  

Scottsbluff drivers know that if their air conditioning system isn’t making cool air like it used to, there is a problem. It may be as simple as adding more of the right kind of refrigerant.Your A/C requires special compressor oil, which circulates through the system along with the refrigerant, to lubricate and protect expensive components and keep seals and gaskets from drying out. If refrigerant has leaked out – so has the compressor oil. This oil needs to be replenished whenever refrigerant is added.An air conditioning inspection at Twin City Auto will uncover any potential problems and identify any necessary repairs needed to get Scottsbluff drivers on the road to cool air once again.Give us a call.Twin City Auto1802 E Overland Suite #4Scottsbluff, NE 6936130

Most NE auto owners know that their vehicles need regular preventive maintenance like changing the oil and filters, rotating the tires and refilling the washer fluid. But did you know that your air conditioning system needs routine maintenance as well? Taking care of your air conditioning system can extend its life and prevent costly repair bills.Why is it important for Scottsbluff area drivers to get routine maintenance on their air conditioning system? First, the refrigerant contains an added lubricant. As the refrigerant circulates through the air conditioning system, its parts are lubricated. This constant lubrication keeps the parts functioning well. But over time, this lubricant is used up, and without it, the parts will eventually seize up and fail.Scottsbluff folks should understand, however, that the air conditioner will continue to pump out cool air even without the lubricant, so you won't know the s ... read more

Most auto manufacturers recommend an interval for an air conditioning system inspection. The inspection uncovers leaks, worn hoses and assesses the condition of the other components.Environmental laws in some around Scottsbluff require leaks to be repaired before refrigerant can be added. Also some parts manufacturers require other components to be replaced along with certain failed parts in order to maintain the new part warranty. This is because a given failure may be the result of another worn or damaged part that will, if not replaced, prematurely damage the new component.Twin City Auto in Scottsbluff is fully equipped to restore your flow of cool air.Twin City Auto1802 E Overland Suite #4Scottsbluff, NE 69361308.635.7404  

Working up a sweat is a great thing to do in a gym around Scottsbluff, but not in your vehicle. When Scottsbluff residents' vehicle AC Systems have a problem, they'll often feel it right away. The question is, how long do you put up with it? You know, the old comfort versus cost dilemma. But a more comfortable drive around NE has a lot of benefits, and keeping the AC System well maintained can help prevent repairs.A common cause of AC failure is water and air in the system. The system does not work as well with air in it. And water can cause rust that leads to damage of the A/C components. Also refrigerant, the stuff that makes the air cold, can leak out, reducing the efficiency of the system and making it work harder to try to cool the air. That is why periodically evacuating the air conditioning system and recharging it keeps the proper amount of clean refrigerant in the system for Scottsbluff residents, so it cools better and lasts longer.Scottsbluff drivers shou ... read more

Warm weather or cold, Scottsbluff drivers still need to think about their vehicle's air conditioning. Most Scottsbluff people don't service their air conditioning until after it fails. At Twin City Auto, we can advise you on your vehicle manufacturers preventive maintenance schedules for air conditioning service, just as we do for transmission service, oil changes and so on. Maintaining your air conditioning system means that you always have enough refrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the vehicle's air conditioning system allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can't cool the air as well. We see that a lot at Twin City Auto in Scottsbluff.The refrigerant also contains oil that lubricates air conditioning components and keeps the seals resilient. Low refrigerant and lubricating oil means that the air conditioning parts will wear out prematurely, and all Scottsbluff vehicle owners know that air conditioning repairs ca ... read more

  Most Scottsbluff drivers don't even think about their air conditioner. Now here's a tip for Scottsbluff vehicle owners: Run your air conditioner every so often during NE winters. This circulates the lubricant to help keep the seals from drying out. The air conditioner actually removes some of the moisture in the air. So if you have trouble with fogging on your vehicle windshield during NE winters or during a rain storm, running the A/C on the defrost setting should help. Now on some Scottsbluff cars you can't run the A/C at the same time as the defroster. Don't ask me why, but I suspect lawyers were involved.Also, air and water can get into the A/C system. That can reduce the efficiency of the system and also lead to corrosion that causes damage. Scottsbluff drivers should periodically purge the system and replace the refrigerant to remove the air and water.NE drivers would be ... read more
