We provide comprehensive AC repair services for your car or truck. Regular maintenance of your vehicle's air conditioning system is important for longevity and performance. The first thing we do is inspect your vehicle’s AC to see what exactly the problem is.
There could be many different causes for your AC problem, which leads to the following services.

Leak Testing
We use specialized equipment to conduct leak tests and identify any refrigerant leaks in your car's air conditioning system, addressing them promptly to maintain proper functionality.
What Does Your Vehicle's AC Compressor Do?
Your car's AC compressor is responsible for compressing and circulating the refrigerant necessary for heat exchange. It draws in low-pressure refrigerant gas from the evaporator, compressing it to a high-pressure state, and subsequently directing it to the condenser.
Through this process, the refrigerant undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid, facilitating the removal of heat from the vehicle's interior. The compressor's efficient operation is the reason the cabin temperature remains cool in your vehicle.
Signs of a Bad AC Compressor in Your Vehicle
- Unusual noises such as grinding or squealing coming from the AC system.
- Reduced or inconsistent cooling performance within the vehicle's cabin.
- Visible leaks or accumulation of refrigerant around the unit.
- Frequent cycling on and off of the AC system.
- Presence of hot air blowing from the vents despite the cooling system being activated.
- Noticeable vibrations or shaking of the car when the air conditioning system is engaged.
- Activation of warning lights on the car dashboard related to the air conditioning system.
