When you bring your vehicle in for A/C testing and analysis, we recharge the system with fresh refrigerant and add a special dye that glows under a blacklight . This helps us track down the leak, even if it’s small or hidden deep inside the system. Some newer vehicles already have this dye from the factory, but not all do. Either way, we’ll use the right tools to spot where the refrigerant is escaping—so we can fix the problem and get your A/C blowing cold again. Don’t wait for it to get worse. If your air isn’t cold, let us take a look before summer really heats up. Call 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation for A/C testing and repair.

If your windshield wipers are worn out , streaking , or squeaking , they might not do their job—and that can be dangerous. Windshield wipers are extremely important for your teen during the 100 Deadliest Days of Summer. Good wipers help you see the road clearly during heavy rain, but they also come in handy for clearing dust, bugs, and even pollen. In Texas, summer heat can dry out the rubber on your wiper blades fast, causing them to crack or tear. If you notice your wipers skipping across the glass or leaving behind streaks, it’s time for a new set. Washer fluid is important too. Running out can leave your windshield dirty and tough to see through, especially during long drives or road trips. Before your next summer outing, take a quick look at your wipers and test your washer spray. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to check them for you. Call us at 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation—we’ll make sure your view of the road is clear and safe.

One of the most common causes is a faulty blend door motor. This small part helps control the temperature inside your vehicle by opening and closing doors in your air system. When it starts to fail, it can get stuck or try to move the door the wrong way—which is what causes the clicking sound. You might still feel air coming from the vents, but it may not be the right temperature. Sometimes, it’s stuck on hot when you want cold, or vice versa. Over time, the noise can get worse and the motor may stop working altogether. If your dash is clicking, it’s a good idea to have it looked at before it turns into a bigger repair. Give us a call at 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation. We’ll take care of the noise—and make sure your A/C is working like it should.

Storms can roll in quickly, and cloudy mornings or dusty evening drives can make it harder to see the road. That’s why working headlights aren’t just for nighttime, they help you see clearly and help other drivers see you. If your headlights look cloudy or yellow, they may not shine as bright as they should. And if one is dim or burned out, it can throw off your depth perception, making driving more dangerous. You may also be at risk of getting pulled over or missing important signs. Before you or your teen hits the road this summer, take a few minutes to check your lights. Turn them on, walk around your car, and make sure both front and rear lights are working. A quick fix today can help prevent an accident tomorrow. Need help with headlight replacement or cleaning? Give us a call at 972-625-1836 to schedule a reservation.

Every tire on your car wears differently. Depending on its position, road conditions, and your driving habits. Without regular rotation, you’ll experience uneven wear. This can lead to poor handling , lower fuel efficiency , and a shorter tire lifespan . Generally, tires should be rotated every other oil change. But heavy driving, towing, or rough roads may require more frequent checks. Regular rotations also help your suspension stay balanced and can prevent bigger issues down the road. At David’s Automotive Repair, we’ll make sure your tires are rotated properly and check for any signs of trouble.
