A/C Repair
From a weak recharge to a failed compressor, we diagnose and repair the full A/C system — conventional, electric, and variable — on every make and model.
Full A/C System Service, Not Just a Recharge
A lot of shops will top off your refrigerant and send you on your way. We don't. If your A/C isn't performing, there's a reason — and we find it. Our diagnostic process covers the entire system: compressor, condenser, evaporator, expansion valve, receiver/drier, and all associated lines and seals.
We work on conventional belt-driven compressor systems, electric compressor systems found in hybrids and EVs, and variable displacement compressor systems common in modern vehicles. Whatever your vehicle runs, we have the training and equipment to service it correctly.
Every A/C System Type We Service
Conventional Belt-Driven
The most common setup — a belt-driven compressor powered by the engine. We service the full system including compressor clutch, belt, and all refrigerant-side components.
Electric Compressor
Found in hybrids and EVs, electric compressors run independently of the engine. Servicing these requires specific handling procedures and equipment — we're trained for it.
Variable Displacement
Variable displacement compressors adjust output based on demand, improving fuel economy. Diagnosis requires understanding how the control valve and pressure signals interact — not just checking pressures.
R-134a & R-1234yf — We Handle Both
Older vehicles use R-134a refrigerant. Newer vehicles (2017 and up on most makes) use R-1234yf, which requires dedicated equipment and certified handling. We're equipped for both — and we use BG Products A/C system conditioners to protect compressor life after every recharge.
What We Service
A/C Recharge
Evacuate, vacuum test, and recharge the system to factory spec with the correct refrigerant type and charge weight. Includes BG compressor conditioner.
Leak Detection & Repair
UV dye and electronic leak detection to pinpoint refrigerant leaks at seals, O-rings, hose fittings, condenser, or evaporator. We repair the leak, not just refill around it.
Compressor Replacement
Compressor failure is the most common major A/C repair. We replace with quality parts, flush the system to remove debris, and recharge to spec.
Condenser Replacement
Road debris and corrosion can damage the condenser. We replace and pressure-test before recharging.
Evaporator Service
Evaporator leaks and contamination cause odors and poor cooling. We also offer BG Frigi-Fresh evaporator cleaning to remove mold, mildew, and contaminants.
Expansion Valve / Orifice Tube
A stuck or failed expansion valve causes temperature swings and poor performance. We diagnose and replace as needed.
Receiver/Drier & Accumulator
These components filter moisture and debris from the refrigerant. Replaced any time the system is opened for major repairs.
Blend Door & Actuator
Blend door failures cause one-temperature output or no airflow to certain vents. We diagnose and replace actuators and doors as needed.
Diagnosis First — Always
A/C problems are rarely just 'low on refrigerant.' Pressure readings, temperature differentials, electrical signals, and component behavior all tell a story. We read that story before we recommend any repair.
System pressure test
High and low side pressures tell us immediately whether the system is holding charge and how the compressor is performing.
Temperature differential check
We measure vent output temperature against ambient to verify actual cooling performance — not just pressure numbers.
Leak detection
UV dye inspection and electronic leak detection to find any refrigerant loss points before recharging.
Electrical & control system scan
For electric compressor and variable displacement systems, we scan for fault codes and verify control signals to the compressor and blend doors.
Component inspection
Visual and functional inspection of the compressor clutch, condenser, evaporator, lines, and cabin air filter path.
Diagnostic Rate
$60/hr
Billed by the minute — you only pay for the time we spend on your vehicle.
Signs Your A/C Needs Attention
Not Sure What's Wrong?
A/C problems have a lot of causes — and guessing wrong is expensive. We diagnose the full system before recommending any repair, so you know exactly what's failing and why.
A/C Not Keeping Up?
Don't wait until it's 100° outside. Call us or schedule online — we'll diagnose it right.
