Quick answer
Wenzel's Automotive in Winthrop Harbor diagnoses and repairs car air conditioning: leaks, compressors, condensers, hoses, blower motors and blend doors. We test the system and find any leak before recharging it, so the cold air lasts. Call (847) 872-1111.

Leak first, then recharge
Refrigerant circulates in a sealed system and is never used up. If the system is low, it is leaking somewhere. A recharge alone lasts only until the refrigerant leaks out again, so we find the leak first and repair it.
A/C in a lakeshore winter
On many cars the defroster runs the A/C compressor to pull moisture out of the air. A healthy system clears a fogged windshield faster on cold, damp mornings by the lake, so an A/C check is worth it in winter too.
