Summer in Wisconsin means warm weather and high humidity, which can be tough on your vehicle's cooling system. It's important to keep your car's cooling system in good shape to prevent overheating and expensive repairs. We know it can be really frustrating when your air conditioning doesn't work on hot days. However, please don't use Freon kits from local stores. These kits can make repairs more expensive. Most Freon cans have Stop Leak, which can clog your A/C system. The Stop Leak is meant to fix leaks, but it often ends up blocking all the A/C parts, leading to more extensive and costly repairs. If you feel like your A/C is not working properly give us a call! At Bob’s Main Street Auto & Towing we’re here to help keep your vehicle in great running condition all year around! Stay cool on the road this summer
