Common Vehicle AC Problems

Numerous variables could cause your AC to break down or simply not work as well as it once did. Identifying these common issues early can help prevent more costly repairs down the road. Our experts are trained to accurately diagnose and fix all AC problems, ensuring your system runs reliably.

  • Warm or Weak Airflow: Blocked vents or a clogged cabin filter often restrict airflow, making your AC feel less powerful. This can also indicate low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or a leak in the system.
  • Strange Odors: A musty or sour smell can signal mold or bacteria growth inside your AC system’s evaporator core, which impacts air quality and your comfort.
  • Loud Noises: Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds may point to a failing compressor, worn-out bearings, or a broken belt that needs to be replaced.
  • Leaking Fluids: Puddles under your car, especially if they are clear or oily, could be signs of a refrigerant or oil leak from a hose or component, which requires immediate attention.
  • System Failure: If your AC stops working completely, it can be due to a variety of issues, including electrical problems, a bad clutch, or a damaged compressor.

No matter the issue, our professionals are here to provide an accurate diagnosis and a lasting solution. We handle everything from a simple refrigerant recharge to complex repairs, giving you confidence and comfort on the road.
