Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.

Common Issues With Vehicle Air Conditioning Systems
Many factors can lead to your AC breaking down or not working as well as it should. These include:
- Clogged or Leaking Condenser
- Improper Refrigerant Level
- Refrigerant Cross-Contamination
- Unresponsive Pressure Switches
- Damaged Compressor
- Clutch Problems
- Broken Belt
- Moisture and Debris-Ridden Filters
- Leaks in the AC System
- AC Control Head Malfunctions
Air conditioning is crucial in our cars, especially during the summer months. But that icy chill you feel from your AC vents may not always be as brisk as you remember. Diminished AC quality is often caused by low refrigerant levels; however, it's important to remember that low refrigerant may not be the only issue.
Our Argyle team offers a comprehensive inspection of your entire AC system to determine the root cause of your vehicle's AC issues. If additional problems are found, our team can offer you cost-effective solutions. We recommend you refrain from attempting to "recharge" your AC with a DIY can from the store, as the refrigerant added unnecessarily or incorrectly can cause irreparable damage to your car's system.
Common Signs You Need Vehicle AC Services
- Strange Noises. It may be time to replace your air conditioner if you hear unusual noises coming from the vents or under the hood.
- Bad Smells. You may have bacteria build up in your evaporator if your vehicle has an unexplained odor.
- Inconsistent Temperatures. The compressor of your air conditioner could be having serious problems if it blows inconsistent temperatures.
