Your auto air conditioning system cools and conditions the air in your passenger compartment when you are driving around TRUCKEE. It also removes moisture from the air to keep your windows from fogging up.A common A/C problem for TRUCKEE drivers that visit The Auto & Tire Doctor Inc is contaminated refrigerant (the gas that cools the air).

Dirty components can have the same consequences.Ask your The Auto & Tire Doctor Inc service advisor for an air conditioning system inspection to make sure everything is up to spec.The Auto & Tire Doctor Inc12000 PIONEER TRLTRUCKEE, CA 961615305872178http://theautoandtiredoctor.com
