How do I know if my car’s A/C needs repair?

Signs of A/C issues include warm air blowing from the vents, strange noises, or A/C not turning on. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a service.

Why is my car’s A/C blowing warm air?

Warm air can be caused by low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, or a broken condenser. Our technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the problem.

The cost varies depending on the service required. Contact us for an accurate estimate.

How often should I service my vehicle’s A/C?

Air Conditioning FAQ

1) How long does an A/C recharge take?
Most recharges take 45–90 minutes, including evacuation, vacuum testing, and precise refill to spec.

2) Do you service newer R1234yf systems?
Yes. We handle both R134a and R1234yf with dedicated machines and certified techs.

3) Why is my A/C blowing warm air?
Common causes: low refrigerant from leaks, weak compressor, clogged condenser, faulty expansion valve, or electrical issues (relays, fans, sensors).

4) How often should I service my A/C?
Have it checked annually or at the first sign of weak cooling. Catching small leaks early prevents costly repairs.

5) Can I just top up refrigerant?
We don’t recommend blind top-ups. Proper service includes leak testing, vacuum, and accurate fill by weight to protect components and ensure cold, consistent air.
