My air
condition works fine. Do I need service?
Your vehicles air conditioner needs to be serviced every 20 000km, and once a
year to prevent component damage.
My compressor leaks - must it be replaced?
Not always. If a compressor leaks, quite often it can be
repaired. We stock seals and gaskets for most units. Repair cost is much
less than the cost of replacement
How do you find A/C refrigerant leaks?
Two methods are commonly used. Dye and electronic. Dye is most popular but
can take several days to appear. We also use electronic detectors to quickly pinpoint leaks and minimize the
loss of refrigerant.
Can you fix my car while I wait?
We prefer to have you drop off your car with us in the morning. It often takes awhile to
find leaks and other problems. By allowing us the time to diagnose your
vehicle properly we can get your vehicle repaired properly the first time.
What does it cost to retrofit my car to 134A?
There is no set price for every car. On major repairs, such as compressor
replacements, it can be less expensive to convert vs. recharging with
R-12. Your primary concern should be to find out exactly what has failed
on your system.
I heard 134A will not cool as well as R-12?
We have converted hundreds of cars, and feedback has been extremely
positive. But, some vehicles should not ever be converted. We
do not attempt anything that we feel will not satisfy your need.
Why go to a specialist?
An A/C Specialist can save you time and money by diagnosing and repairing
your vehicle right the first time. Since we concentrate on one system, we
are able to purchase specialized equipment and training that is not cost
effective for the general shop. We see many pattern failures with
different vehicles and get very good at zeroing in on problems fast. We
have also learned to repair components that others replace. Everything
from compressors to electronic circuit boards.
