How to Know if You Need A/C Maintenance
A well-functioning air conditioning system is a must during hot weather, times of high humidity (such as rainstorms), or during times of high-pollution levels.
If you're experiencing any of the problems listed below, you may be in need of air conditioning maintenance. Call your local Pep Boys to schedule an appointment for an A/C Quick Check or Deluxe A/C Tune-Up.

- Vehicle stalls or idles roughly when A/C is turned on
- Vehicle runs hot or overheats when A/C is on
- There is water on the car's floor
