Learn all about the MACS App
Now Available with Paid MACS Membership!
Nearly a year in the making, the MACS mobile A/C diagnostics app is now available. The MACS board of directors decided last fall that it was time for MACS to fully embrace current technology and push our information out to mobile devices for the benefit of all of our members. The app was created by MACS member and digital industry leader SHIFTMobility.
All MACS members will receive ONE MACS mobile A/C diagnostics app free of charge provided their dues are paid. Additional downloads are $60 annually. The app is for both Apple and Android mobile devices and can be downloaded from your respective app store. Search for MACS Mobile A/C Diagnostics. After the download expect to be verified within 24 hours.
How does it work?
