MAHLE Aftermarket Inc. launched “A/C check”, a microsite to offer auto repair shops with a resource to inform vehicle owners to have qualified technicians inspect and service their A/C systems annually.

A well-maintained A/C system is not important for the comfort of passengers but also to ensure the proper temperature range for drivetrain batteries in electric and hybrid cars.

"Regularly maintaining your air conditioning system may eliminate the need for expensive repair work," according to MAHLE's new microsite. 

The microsite offers a checklist for proper A/C maintenance, service, and installation, as well as includes articles, easy-to-follow tutorials, and industry statistics.

“Shop owners can direct consumers to the ‘A/C check’ microsite for information about yearly service of their air conditioning system from a qualified auto technician,” said Ted Hughes, director of marketing MAHLE Aftermarket North America. “The site was also created to provide vehicle owners with information about the design and operation of the automotive air conditioning system, why regular maintenance is necessary to ensure its reliability, and details on do-it-yourself inspection and service guidelines.”

Additionally, the microsite also includes information on the latest technologies from MAHLE such as the company’s expanded range of cabin air filters and the MAHLE OzonePRO Professional Sanitation System. This innovative technology uses ozone gas to sterilize a vehicle’s interior and eliminate odors. In addition to its lightweight and automated operation that controls ozone levels and process time, it offers digital integration with mobile devices and report generation when the sanitation process is complete.
