A/C Service and Repair

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Your vehicle’s air-conditioning system is designed to keep the cabin comfortable while also helping control humidity and windshield fogging. When the system develops a problem, you may notice warm or weak airflow, inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises, unpleasant odors, refrigerant leaks, or an A/C system that stops cooling altogether.

Our A/C diagnosis, service and repair may include:

• A/C Performance Test – Check vent temperature, airflow and overall system performance to determine whether the system is cooling properly.
• Refrigerant Level & Pressure Check – Test high- and low-side system pressures and check refrigerant charge when appropriate.
• A/C Leak Detection – Inspect the system for refrigerant leaks using appropriate diagnostic equipment and methods.
• A/C Compressor Inspection & Replacement – Check compressor operation, clutch or control system, noise and performance and replace failed components when necessary.
• Condenser Inspection & Repair – Inspect the condenser for leaks, damage, blockage or restricted airflow.
• Evaporator Inspection & Repair – Diagnose evaporator leaks, restrictions and other problems that can affect cooling performance.
• Expansion Valve / Orifice Tube – Inspect and replace refrigerant metering components when a restriction or failure is identified.
• Receiver-Drier / Accumulator Service – Inspect and replace these components when required as part of an A/C system repair.
• A/C Hoses, Lines & Seals – Inspect refrigerant hoses, connections, O-rings and seals for leaks or damage.
• Cooling Fan Operation – Check electric cooling fans and related controls because improper fan operation can reduce A/C performance.
• Blower Motor & Resistor/Control Module – Diagnose weak, intermittent or inoperative cabin airflow.
• Climate-Control Diagnostics – Diagnose control panels, switches, temperature sensors, relays, fuses and electronic climate-control components.
• Blend & Mode Door Actuators – Check actuators and doors responsible for controlling temperature and directing airflow through the vents.
• Cabin Air Filter Inspection – Inspect for excessive dirt or restriction that can reduce airflow through the HVAC system.
• Electrical Diagnosis – Check A/C-related wiring, connectors, sensors, pressure switches and control circuits.
• System Evacuation & Recharge – When required, properly recover refrigerant, evacuate the system and recharge it with the manufacturer-specified type and quantity of refrigerant.
• Final Performance Test – Verify vent temperature, system pressures, compressor operation and proper climate-control function after repairs.

Our goal is to diagnose the cause of the A/C problem before replacing parts or simply adding refrigerant. A low refrigerant charge often indicates a leak, so the source of the problem should be identified whenever possible.

Once diagnosed, we recommend the appropriate repair—from a refrigerant recharge or leaking seal replacement to compressor, condenser, evaporator, blower motor or climate-control repairs—to restore proper cooling and comfortable cabin temperatures.
