 announced the Cool Car AC Performance Booster, a five-minute service for quick lube and professional automotive service operators. The company said the Cool Car AC Performance Booster delivers an average vent temperature drop of 12.1 degrees Fahrenheit, lowers cabin humidity and speeds cooling without adding refrigerant.

The proprietary thermo-conductive synthetic lubricant is designed to address oil fouling inside the A/C system. According to the company, the treatment improves heat transfer, reduces compressor friction and wear, and may extend compressor service life. The service works with R-1234yf and R-134a systems, does not require A/C certification, and uses a dedicated installation tool.

Cool Car AC Performance Booster Field Adoption

The Cool Car AC Performance Booster has expanded into nearly 500 quick lube locations. Dealers have reported take rates of 5% to 10% of car count. Operators report customer demand driven by peak summer heat and longer vehicle ownership, now averaging more than 12 years on the road. Stores also report additional revenue and repeat visits.

“In my career, I’ve rarely seen a product get this kind of reaction from the field,” said Joe Farr, sales director for Groove Technologies. “Technicians are excited to sell it. Store managers are telling us about customers who’ve left five-star reviews on their Jiffy Lube location websites. In some cases, brought in their second or third vehicle the same day to have the service performed. When you have both fast lube operators and customers this happy, you’ve got a winner.”

Field reports document temperature drops as high as 29 degrees, according to the company. Customers have commented that their A/C feels colder after treatment. One district manager reported a 22-degree drop during a store demonstration and said his team plans to position the service as a key seasonal offering during an expected warm summer across much of the U.S.

Pairing with Cabin Air Filter System

The Cool Car AC Performance Booster can be paired with Groove Technologies’ Qik-FIT Premium Universal Cabin Air Filter System. The company said the combination allows operators to offer an A/C performance package.

The Cool Car AC Performance Booster is available exclusively to professional automotive service providers through a Groove Technologies partnership with Service Champ.

      Hi everyone,
      I've noticed that many drivers don't think much about their car battery until it suddenly fails to start the vehicle.
      Over the past year, I've started checking the battery terminals, cleaning off any corrosion, and testing the battery before long trips. It only takes a few minutes but can help avoid unexpected breakdowns.
      I'm curious how everyone else handles battery maintenance.
      Do you test your battery on a regular schedule, or do you only replace it when you notice signs like slow engine cranking or electrical issues?
      I'd love to hear what routine has worked best for you and whether you've found any simple maintenance tips that really make a difference.

      Hey everyone,
      With the summer heat hitting hard, I've seen way too many drivers—both everyday commuters and even some DIYers—making the exact same mistakes under the hood that end up completely wrecking their air conditioning systems.
      Replacing an A/C compressor or a blown blower motor at a US dealership can easily cost you $1,200+ out of pocket. The worst part? Most of this damage is caused by simple, everyday habits we do without even realizing it.
      Here are a few quick, costly traps you need to avoid right now if you want to save your compressor and save some cash at the pump:
      Blasting the A/C on Max at Startup: Doing this the second you turn the key places a massive, sudden parasitic load on a cold engine and slips your serpentine belt. Let your RPMs stabilize first!
      Cruising with Windows Half-Down: This creates a non-stop thermodynamic tug-of-war. Your cabin sensors will force the A/C clutch to stay engaged indefinitely, burning through your gas.
      The Continuous Recirculation Trap: Leaving the recirculation button on for hours traps interior moisture and turns your evaporator core into a literal breeding ground for mold and that foul "gym-sock" smell.
      I’ve put together a completely free, breakdown guide that covers the step-by-step pro mechanic method to cool down a scorching hot car cabin in under 60 seconds without straining your engine. It also includes a breakdown of real-world repair costs if these habits are ignored.
      If you want to keep your ride icy cold and stop burning extra fuel this summer, check out the full guide here: 👉

Stay cool out there.
