1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
To get rid of foul odors in your car - try using dryer sheets in your vehicle's interior. Lay out a few sheets overnight on or near the source of the smell.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does car AC repair usually take?
Many AC repairs can be completed the same day, although timing depends on what we find and parts availability. We let you know our best estimate after diagnosis and keep you updated if anything changes. Our shuttle service can often help while your vehicle is in the shop.
Will you tell me the AC cost before repairs start?
Yes, we review our findings with you and provide an estimate before any AC repair work begins. We explain what is needed and why in plain language, then wait for your approval. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable with both the plan and the cost.
How do I know if I need AC replacement instead of repair?
You usually learn that during our diagnostic conversation. After inspecting the system, we explain whether a targeted repair or more extensive work makes the most sense, based on part condition, cost, and your plans for the vehicle. We talk through options so you can choose what fits you best.
Is it safe to keep driving with a broken AC?
Many drivers can still operate the vehicle, but comfort and safety can be affected, especially in hot weather or with young children or older passengers. Some AC issues may hint at other concerns. We recommend having our team inspect the system so you can make an informed choice.
What can I expect at my first AC service visit?
At your visit, we check you in, listen to your AC concerns, and perform a diagnostic inspection. Then we review our findings, explain options, and provide an estimate before any work starts. You can wait in our comfortable lobby or use our shuttle, depending on what works best.
