Winter May Be Over, But Now You Want a Chill in the Air

Summer driving season is nearly here. Be prepared for increased A/C service demand by using Mopar A/C components.

As the season starts to shift toward warmer weather, many motorists may realize that their air conditioning systems have turned up inoperative. But why? In many parts of the country, A/C systems don’t even get used during the winter.

Don’t forget that winter is actually a hard time for vehicle air conditioning components. Since refrigerant, and the lubricant it contains, does not circulate through critical components when the system isn’t in use, seals can dry out and crack over the cold winter months.

Cracks in critical seals can cause refrigerant leaks when the system is first turned on in the spring. And when components such as the A/C compressor are starved for lubricant, they can quickly seize up.

Of course, there are other reasons a vehicle’s A/C system may be not operating up to par. During winter weather and on slippery roads, minor front-end collisions are much more common. And although the exterior damage may be minimal, A/C condensers are prone to damage because they’re located in front of the radiator. For that matter, radiators can be dented or damaged in some way as well.

Condensers and other A/C components can also die of natural causes—both in the summer and in the winter, when a vehicle’s defroster makes use of the A/C to clear the windows.

Now is a great time to order an authentic Mopar® A/C components to meet the seasonal demands of spring and summer. Your local Chrysler, Jeep® or Dodge dealer is your one-stop source for all the authentic Mopar A/C components you need this spring.

Don’t Forget About Mopar Remanufactured A/C Components

Owners of older Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles are often more sensitive to the cost involved in repairing or maintaining their A/C systems. Mopar Remanufactured A/C Components offer a high-quality value alternative to original equipment parts.

Mopar assures O.E. quality in all remanufactured A/C compressors and components by adhering to strict quality and engineering standards. For example, each A/C compressor core that’s destined for remanufacturing is thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Many cores are discarded at this early phase because they don’t meet Mopar standards. Cores that are accepted are completely disassembled. Cylinders are gauged and rehoned. And, if necessary, the shaft bearings are removed and replaced.

In addition, every Mopar Remanufactured A/C component meets strict Chrysler original equipment quality standards, and is covered by the Mopar 12-month/12,000-mile nationwide limited warranty.

And here’s one final tip for your customers, no matter whether you use Mopar O.E. parts or Mopar Remanufactured A/C components: Like most vehicle components, A/C systems require periodic maintenance. Make sure you recommend to your Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicle customers that they follow Chrysler’s factory recommendations for maintenance, which includes flushing and filling the entire system.

Proven quality, competitive prices and a comprehensive, nationwide warranty—Mopar has it all. Now your customers can have it all too.
