Air Conditioning services

If your defrosters aren’t working properly, you might need an AC system check.

$50

Additional fees may apply

Air conditioning servicing consists of hooking up your car to a state-of-the-art AC system machine to check the following:
1 Receiver-Drier
The receiver is a metal container that serves as a storage receptacle for the refrigerant. It’s also referred to as a drier because it absorbs moisture from the refrigerant and filters out particles of debris and harmful acids that would otherwise harm your AC system. Commonly located on the liquid line of the AC system, you should change your drier every 3–4 years to ensure quality filtration and prevent any damage caused by the detrimental chemicals. Our machine vacuums and clears out any moisture in the system to ensure the receiver-drier is functioning properly.
2 Compressor
The compressor is a belt-driven device that derives its name from compressing refrigerant gas and transferring it into the condenser. While basically acting as a simple pump, the compressor is the core of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. Our machine checks the pressure output of the compressor to make sure it is operating properly.
3 Condenser
The condenser’s primary function is to cool the refrigerant. It is a heat dissipating apparatus that radiates heat released by compressed gasses and condenses them into high pressure liquids. The location of your condenser depends on how new your car is but it is typically found  at the front of the vehicle, directly in front of the engine cooling radiator. We make sure your cooling fan is operating properly and that the vanes in the condenser are clean and free of debris.
4 Evaporator
The evaporator is designed to remove heat from the inside of your vehicle. We check the blower motors filter/cabin filter of your car to make sure it is working optimally.

Lastly, lines and hoses are inspected by applying vacuums and dye to check for leaks.
