When temperatures rise, so does the strain on your shop’s equipment, especially your air system. For many auto repair shops, the compressor is the heartbeat of daily operations, powering everything from impact tools to lifts and lubrication systems. If that heartbeat skips a beat, so does your productivity.
That’s why now—before the peak summer rush hits—is the perfect time to inspect your air system and make sure it’s running at full strength.
Heat = Hidden Wear
As the weather warms up, ambient air temperature and humidity can cause your compressor to run hotter and work harder. Excess heat leads to moisture buildup, worn seals, oil degradation, and overworked motors. For busy shops, even a small issue can quickly snowball into costly downtime.
Routine inspections of your air system can help spot early warning signs like:
- Decreased air pressure or inconsistent output
- Longer recovery times
- Unusual noise or vibration
- Moisture in your lines
