What to Expect:

For an AC system to work, it needs a gas or liquid substance called refrigerant (R-12 in older cars, R-134a in 1995 and newer cars). Over time, refrigerant can leak from the AC system through seals. If the AC does not have enough refrigerant, it will not blow cold air.

Keep in mind:

Since the AC system is a sealed unit, the only way to tell if the car needs a recharge is if the AC is not blowing cold air through the vents. There are two types of refrigerant. These cannot be interchanged. For older cars, it should be filled with R12 refrigerant or converted to a newer system. For cars made after 1995, the AC should be filled with R134a.

How it's done:

  • Install air conditioning manifold gauge set.
  • Determine if the air conditioning system charge is low.
  • Add the correct refrigerant to top off the air conditioning system.
  • Install thermometer in vents to monitor vent temperatures.
  • Check system for leaks.
  • Check for proper operation of AC system.

Our recommendation:

It is common for refrigerant to leak. If the AC is not as cold as you expect, then it is probably a good time to have the mechanic look at it. Lack of proper cold air can be an indication of other problems with AC (fan not working, AC compressor not working, etc.).

What are the common symptoms indicating you need an Car AC Repair?

  • AC is not working.
  • AC is not blowing cold air.
  • Clicking noise from the engine compartment.

How important is this service?

In addition to your comfort, air conditioning systems add value to your vehicle. You should keep your AC fully operational. In some systems, the hot and cold air are blended to achieve the desired temperature setting. In these cases, when the AC system fails, in addition to not getting any cold air, the entire temperature regulation can be thrown off.

Saturn Astra L4-1.8L - Battery - Los Angeles, California
Lucas was really friendly and knew what he was doing. I had booked to replace my alternator (having been told that was the problem) but he did an inspection and found that the real problem was my battery. Instead of making me book another appointment, he managed to replace the battery right then and there which was exactly what I needed. He was efficient and helpful!

Saturn Astra L4-1.8L - Shift Selector Cable - Los Angeles, California
Kenneth was on time and got to work immediately. I hadn't been having the best luck with getting someone to come fix my car, so I was a bit skeptical when waiting for this repair, but Kenneth exceeded my expectations!

Saturn Astra L4-1.8L - AC is not working - Riverdale, Georgia
Your Mechanic Rocks!!! I own a vehicle (Saturn) which is not in production currently so it is tough to find certified mechanics to work on my vehicle. I took my car countless places and was turned away for basic maintenance. Anthony was friendly, and deeply aware of how Saturns operate and I felt at ease allowing him to touch my precious vehicle (because it's all I have right now) in just moments after speaking with him. I highly recommend Your Mechanic to anyone. Their prices are good too.
