With the temperatures climbing, I have noticed our family car's air conditioning just isn't keeping up like it used to. On the school run, the back seats where the kids sit take forever to cool down. I am worried about them being uncomfortable, especially in traffic. I have been looking into diagnosing air conditioning issues in hot weather to try and understand what might be wrong before I take it to a garage. I found a guide that listed common warning signs like weak airflow, strange smells, and unusual noises, which was really helpful. It seems like it could be anything from a simple refrigerant top up to something more complex. For other parents, have you dealt with this before? How did you find a reliable AC specialist, and roughly what did it cost to get it sorted? Just trying to prepare myself.
