Chevrolet AC Repair

You understandably rely on your Chevrolet climate control system to keep you comfortable on the road. On very warm days, the air conditioner provides you with a much-needed source of cool air most of the time. There are, however, instances when any vehicle’s AC system will falter or even fail entirely. When this happens to you, riding around town in your vehicle can be uncomfortable and even downright unbearable. A fast diagnosis and a quality repair service are essential, and this is exactly what you can expect when you put our team to work.

MY AC SYSTEM IS GENERATING A FOUL ODOR. WHAT CAN I DO?

Even when the AC system turns out cool air, there is a possibility that it could smell like dirty socks, spoiled milk or rotten eggs. These are signs that the air filter in your AC system is old or dirty. A simple air filter replacement service will properly address this type of issue. There is another possible cause of bad smells from the AC system, and this is mold growth. A clogged line could cause a backup of moisture, and this moisture could sit on the evaporator case until mold begins to grow. The repair service for this type of issue involves cleaning away the mold and removing the blockage in the drain line.

WHY IS WARM AIR BLOWING OUT OF MY AIR CONDITIONER?

It can be uncomfortable to have warm air blowing from your car’s AC system when cool air is expected and desired, but this is a common situation that many vehicle owners will need to deal with at some point. It is common because there are many causes, such as a compressor or blower that is damaged, a leaky vacuum seal, a Freon leak, a broken switch or condenser, an issue with a fuse and more. While some drivers will notice that the AC system puts out warm air immediately, others will notice that the temperature of the cool air from the air conditioner gradually becomes warmer. While this is a seemingly similar problem, the cause may be different. Some possible causes are a blown fuse, a leaking seal, compressor clutch damage, a clogged line in the expansion valve and a few other possibilities.

WHAT IS CAUSING MY AIR CONDITIONER TO LEAK?

2018 Chevrolet Sonic FrontAn air conditioner leak may be a minor issue initially, but it can become so significant that a full system replacement is required. Regardless of the components that are leaking, moisture can seep in through the leaks and interact with the refrigerant. This causes the development of corrosive material that can irreparably damage the system. Because a leak can occur in any location throughout the AC system, the cause and location will need to be determined through a professional inspection of the air conditioner. Two primary methods are used to inspect the system, and these are the use of special dyes that are visible under a black light and sniffer equipment. Once the leak has been identified, the repair process can begin.

WHAT IS CAUSING WEAK AIRFLOW FROM MY AIR CONDITIONER?

There may be instances when your car’s air conditioner is circulating cool air, but the flow may be so minimal that you and your passengers are still uncomfortable inside the car. This type of issue can develop as a minor problem, but it may become increasingly severe over time. Through a diagnostic service, our technicians will determine the precise cause. Some causes are a moldy evaporator, loose hoses, damaged ventilation fan components or damaged seals. For any AC service issue, you can count on us to complete an accurate diagnostic service and to quickly repair the problem.
