Why your car AC should be serviced before summer
Every year before Dubai’s summer really kicks in, I make it a point to take my car in for AC inspection. It’s not paranoia – it’s just common sense here. The AC system takes a massive beating between the heat and the dust. Even if it's working, components like the cabin filter or condenser can degrade over time. If airflow is weak or inconsistent, or if the AC smells weird, it's better to get it checked now than deal with it mid-July. Also, don’t wait for a total failure – sometimes the system can look fine but be low on refrigerant or struggling internally. This article makes a great case for why pre-summer AC service should be the norm: https://www.tycoonstory.com/how-to-stay-cool-in-dubai-the-importance-of-regular-car-ac-repair/ – super useful breakdown of what to expect.
