Many buyers are not ready to pay a substantial amount of money to buy a car with an air conditioner. Often they reason practically, believing that the driver and passenger in the summer can blow a stream of fresh air from open windows.

air conditioner in a car with their own hands? Because this procedure in a specialized salon is often quite expensive, requiring significant efforts from professionals who do everything necessary to prepare a place and debug the entire cabin cooling system in accordance with the placement of the remaining components of the car. This is due to the fact that installing an air conditioner in a car that is already fully assembled is a rather complicated and troublesome task in comparison with installation at the car assembly stage.
