Affordable Car AC Repair For Compressor & Condenser Replacement
If your car AC stopped working or isn't blowing cold air, have our qualified ac repair shop diagnose whether you need an AC repair. Our vehicle AC repair process involves a thorough inspection of the AC system including hoses, compressor, drier and evaporator. The A/C system is then pressure tested to make sure it's leak free. We will also check for any signs of water damage inside the car. The A/C refrigerant is then recharged using manufacturer-specified recharge equipment. We will also inspect the interior and make sure the vents are properly blowing cold air. This is done with a combination of dye, UV light and electronic components to help detect any leaks inside your vehicle.

COMPREHENSIVE CAR AC REPAIRS
Car AC refrigerant recharge:
Over time, the refrigerant in the AC system can leak out, causing the AC to blow warm air. A refrigerant recharge involves adding more refrigerant to the system to restore proper cooling.
Car AC compressor replacement:
The compressor is a key component of the AC system that pressurizes and circulates the refrigerant.
Car AC evaporator replacement:
The evaporator is responsible for cooling the air that is blown into the car's cabin.
Car AC blower motor replacement:
The blower motor is responsible for blowing air through the AC system and into the cabin.
Car AC hose and line replacement:
The hoses and lines that carry the refrigerant and other fluids through the AC system can become damaged or leak over time.
Car AC electrical system repair:
The AC system also has various electrical components, such as sensors and switches, that may need to be repaired or replaced if they fail.
WARNING SIGNS FOR CAR AC COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT
A car AC repair can be more complex and costly than a simple refrigerant refill. Have our professional mechanics diagnose the problem with the AC system to determine the most cost-effective solution for an AC compressor repair or replacement and restore the cooling performance in your vehicle.
Does Your AC Compressor Need Repair?
You might look at the air conditioning compressor as the heart of the air conditioning system in your car. Essentially, the AC compressor performs a similar function to most of the accessories in your vehicle, it pumps circulation of the refrigerant (also known as AC gas, formerly FREON) through the air conditioning system while compressing the air at the same time,
AC Compressor Function - An AC compressor pressurizes internal refrigerant fluid for cooling the air that enters the vehicle interior. The compressor functions by using multiple mechanical parts meshed together for the physical refrigerant pressurization. The mechanical aspect of the compressor makes it possible for a mechanic to disassemble and analyze the moving parts for a rebuild.
Ac Compressor Rebuild - is a more cost effective solution to a replacement. AC compressor rebuild involves removing the internal compressor oil and disassemble the compressor. We inspection replacement parts the before rebuilding and replace any parts that are structurally compromised for preventing compressor leaks. Finally we re-assemble the parts and re-install the compressor to the vehicle.
AC Compressor Replacement - replacing the AC compressor will be more expensive then a rebuild. If the outer compressor core is in durable condition without damage, then a rebuild is a feasible less expensive option. Generally, a warranty comes with a rebuilt compressor. Some drivers however, depending on the vehicle they drive and how long they will keep it prefer spending the extra money for a complete AC compressor replacement.
Signs For Car AC Compressor Repair
If your car's air conditioning is not blowing cold air, it may need to be recharged. Symptoms specific to an AC repair include:
Reduced Cooling Effectiveness
Unusual AC Compressor Noises
AC Clutch Noises
Car AC Condenser Needs Repair
If the car ac condenser is damaged or malfunctioning, you may experience,
Hissing or bubbling noise: A damaged condenser may produce a hissing or bubbling noise, which can be heard from under the hood. This noise is caused by the refrigerant gas leaking from the condenser.
Unusual smells: A damaged condenser can also cause unusual smells to emanate from the AC system. These smells can range from a musty odor to a burnt smell.
Leaking AC condenser: The condenser is one of the most common areas for refrigerant leaks to occur. If you notice a drop in AC performance or a hissing sound coming from under the hood, it could indicate a refrigerant leak from the condenser.
Car AC Blower Motor Needs Repair
A car AC blower motor repair may not be able to blow air out of the vents or the airflow may be significantly reduced indicating that the AC blower motor is not functioning properly. This can be a faulty motor, a blown fuse, a broken blower wheel or fan, or a malfunctioning control module.
Car AC Electrical System Needs Repair
An electrical problem in a car's air conditioning system is that the AC unit may fail to turn on or off, or it may turn on and off intermittently with an inability to adjust the temperature or fan speed. A faulty electrical component such as a relay, fuse, or wiring could prevent the AC system from receiving the proper power supply.
