A/C Service
In San Antonio, car A/C is not a comfort option. Summer runs long, and a car parked in the sun can get dangerously hot inside. When the air stops blowing cold, you want it fixed right, not just topped off and sent on your way.
An A/C system is sealed. If it is low on refrigerant, it leaked somewhere. Adding more without finding the leak just means paying again next month. Proper A/C service starts with finding out why it is not cooling.
Common A/C problems
- Warm air from the vents, often from a refrigerant leak
- Cold at highway speed but warm at idle, which can point to a cooling fan or condenser issue
- A/C that cycles on and off or cuts out
- Clicking, squealing, or grinding when the A/C kicks on, which can mean a failing compressor or clutch
- Musty smells, often from the evaporator or a dirty cabin air filter
Some of these are simple. A blown fuse, a failed relay, or a clogged cabin filter is a quick fix. Others involve the compressor, condenser, or evaporator. We will tell you which one you are dealing with.
Before the heat hits
A/C work is done at 12040 O'Connor Rd on the Northeast side. Spring is the best time to get it checked, before the shop fills up with everyone whose A/C quit in the first 100 degree week. Summer heat is also hard on batteries, so ask about a battery test while you are in.
Questions we hear
Why does my A/C blow warm air?
The most common cause is low refrigerant from a leak. It can also be an electrical problem, a failed compressor clutch, or a cooling fan issue. Testing tells us which.
Can you just recharge it?
We can, but if the system leaked, the new charge will leak out too. We look for the leak so you are not paying for the same fix twice.
Why does my car A/C smell bad?
Moisture on the evaporator can grow mold and bacteria. A cabin air filter change and an evaporator cleaning often help.
