A throwback to our early years. Back when there wasn't a "23" in the phone number, just 7-0542. Ed Williamson and his business partner Warren Page. Chrysler Trained Mechanics because my grandfather, Ed Williamson, worked for our local Dodge dealer before it became Cox Dodge, now Lee Dodge. This was our very first location.

Useful tip of the day!

Most all vehicles have a recirculation button, also known as "MAX A/C" or simply "MAX", on the AC controls in their cars, but many of us are unsure when to use it.

The recirculation button, or MAX, simply takes the air from inside the car and recirculates it inside the cabin instead of pulling fresh air from outside. On days when it is extremely hot outside, if you do not recirculate the cooler air in the cabin, then your A/C system is pulling hot air from outside and trying to cool it. Using the recirculation feature will get your car cooler and will decrease the wear and tear on your AC system.

Side note, if your car has been baking in the sun, it's better to roll the windows down and turn recirculate off for the first minute or so to get rid of the super hot air inside the car before turning the recirculation feature on.

Also, any time you are stuck in traffic (summer or winter) be sure to use the recirculation feature. If you are pulling air from outside, then you are pulling in all the pollutants and carbon monoxide from all the traffic. Studies show that recirculating your A/C can cut down on pollutants entering your vehicle by 20% when stuck in traffic.

Hope everyone has great day and stay safe out there!

And this, folks, is why you need to let a technician check your vehicle versus asking for quotes or estimates over the phone.
