What we fix this summer

Heat problems Matt sees every August

From $165
A/C blowing warm
Recharge + leak check
Refrigerant loss is the #1 warm-A/C cause in MS. Hot summers cycle the compressor hard — seals dry out and tiny leaks drain the charge.
Book Text
$99
A/C diagnostic
Flat fee
OBD2 + pressure gauge read. You get the full picture: compressor health, blend-door function, electrical signals. No guesswork.
Book Text
From $140
Overheating / coolant leak
Diagnostic first
MS traffic + 95°F afternoons = coolant systems under real stress. Radiator hoses, water pumps, and thermostats fail fast in summer.
Book Text
From $135
Heat-killed battery
Battery included
Heat accelerates battery fluid evaporation more than cold does. A 3-year-old battery in August MS heat is a dead battery waiting to happen.
Book Text
From $160
Radiator fan / cooling system
Parts + labor
Electric fans, fan clutches, and coolant fans all run hard in slow traffic. When they fail, temperature gauges climb fast on Route 28.
Book Text
$165
Serpentine belt
Typical
Heat cracks rubber faster than cold does. A frayed belt in stop-and-go traffic snaps without warning — and takes the water pump with it.

South Mississippi Summer Reality

Why summer kills cars in South Mississippi

1
Heat soak in stop-and-go traffic
Route 28 and the Beltway turn into ovens in August. A car sitting in 95°F traffic with the A/C on full blast pushes every cooling system to its limit. Radiator fans run constantly, coolant cycles harder, and anything already marginal fails.
2
A/C compressor strain
South Mississippi summers run the A/C compressor non-stop for months. Compressor clutches wear, seals dry out, and refrigerant leaks develop. A system that worked fine in April may barely cool by July — and it's usually one fix away from working again.
3
Coolant degradation
Heat accelerates coolant breakdown. Old coolant gets acidic, corrodes seals, and loses its boiling point margin. A system that looked fine in spring may be one hot afternoon away from a coolant leak or worse — a blown head gasket.
4
Battery acid evaporation
Most drivers think cold kills batteries. Reality: heat evaporates battery fluid faster than cold ever does. A three-year-old battery in South Mississippi August heat is a dead battery waiting to strand you. The fix is a simple load test — takes Matt 5 minutes.
