Auto Air Conditioner Repair and Maintenance

When the weather gets hot, a well-functioning car air conditioner is a necessity. Over time, however, the A/C and heating systems in your car can wear down. Pacific Coast Tire & Service can perform routine auto A/C maintenance and heating system repairs to maintain the comfort of your car.

What does the car climate control system do? Auto heating and A/C systems are designed to keep your car warm in the winter and cool in the summer. In addition, the auto A/C system works to defrost your windows. Many cars have both front and rear defrosters. The heating system includes a heater core, fan, and hoses that pull heat from the engine to the core. Auto A/C systems work in a similar way, delivering coolant to the fan to blow cold air into the cabin.

Importance of Auto A/C & Heating System Repair Service

Heating and A/C systems can degrade over time. Hoses can become blocked and leak if not serviced, leading to inefficient operation or complete failure. Regular maintenance can keep your car comfortable for you and your passengers.

Signs of Auto A/C and Heating System Problems: There are several signs that your heating and A/C systems may be having issues. These include A/C that blows only slightly cooler than the outside air, air that smells moist or musty, a cabin that doesn't heat up in cold weather, a defroster that takes longer to work, or a heater or A/C that only works when the car is moving.

Heating and A/C Inspections

An in-depth inspection of your heating and A/C systems includes checking the interior and blower, radiator coolant level, hoses, pressure cap and thermostat. It also involves testing the compressor belt, looking for cracks or other damage, performing a cooling system pressure test, comparing the air conditioning pressure to manufacturer specifications, checking the air conditioning system for refrigerant leaks, and checking the interior vent air temperature.
