How can I check my car for A/C leaks?
I think the A/C in my car is dying, but I'm not sure. It just doesn't feel as cold as it should. My friend said I should check for a leak in my AC; how do I do that?

One of the first signs your air conditioner is losing fluids is that it starts to warm up—so you may be on to something!
But spotting an A/C leak is more complicated than your average fluid leak. A/C refrigerant is colorless, odorless and can be liquid or gas while processing through the A/C system. So your best course of action is to get an A/C performance check.
Unfortunately,
car insurance
does not air conditioner breakdowns. But you may still be covered if you have mechanical breakdown insurance
or a warranty from when you bought the car. If your car is getting older, A/C malfunctions can be the first of many mechanical issues.To guard yourself against mechanical breakdowns, make sure you have a solid roadside assistance plan with the
Jerry app
. Jerry’s leading roadside assistance connects you with our nationwide network of over 55,000 service providers. Plus, it includes services like jump starts, lockout service, key replacement, and towing—so you know you’re covered wherever you are.View full answer
