Audio, video and print articles cover A/C service from front to back of vehicle
Santa Ana, Calif. (RPRN) 03/25/06 – Advanstar Communications, a leading provider of integrated media solutions to the automotive aftermarket, off-road, and powersports industries, has announced the availability of comprehensive multi-media resources for automotive technicians performing air conditioning (A/C) service. In a new section of the Motor Age website at http://motorage.search-autoparts.com/airconditioning, the staff of the magazine has put together a collection of print articles, blogs, and audio clips related to A/C service.
“In today’s world of tightening environmental regulations, everybody that lays a wrench on an A/C system should be certified and up-to-date on the latest repair information,†said Larry Silvey, editorial director, Advanstar Automotive Aftermarket Group. “As our contributing editor, Richard McCruistian, points out in an article he wrote for us, there’s a good reason why: it’s a $32,000 fine if a government audit reveals that a technician in a shop wasn’t certified and had done A/C work, even if the shop has another technician who is certified.â€
The new website collection of A/C resources corresponds with the April issue of Motor Age that focuses on the subject. In addition to McCruistian’s article “Knowing your vehicle A/C service basics,†there are two articles by Pete Meier, technical contributor, on the “Proper operation of the A/C, cooling systems†and “An A/C compressor is not just a compressor.†There is also an article by Chris Miller, senior editor, on “Greener pastures in store for refrigerants.†Past stories on A/C published by Motor Age also available at www.searchautoparts.com.
