Comprehensive Inspection and Accurate Diagnosis
When you bring your vehicle to us for AC service, the first step is a comprehensive inspection. This process includes:
Refrigerant Level Check: We ensure the refrigerant levels are optimal. Low levels can significantly impact the AC's performance.
Compressor Examination: The compressor is the heart of your AC system. We check for signs of wear and tear, ensuring it’s functioning correctly.
Belt and Hose Inspection: We inspect all belts and hoses for any cracks or signs of wear. These components are crucial for the AC system’s efficiency.
Using advanced diagnostic tools, our mechanics pinpoint any issues that might be affecting your AC system's performance. This ensures that we address the root cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Detecting and Repairing Leaks
Leaks can severely affect your car's AC efficiency. During our service, we:
Utilize advanced leak detection methods to find any leaks in the system.
Repair any detected leaks to prevent refrigerant loss and ensure the system runs smoothly.
Recharging the AC System
Once we've inspected, diagnosed, and repaired any issues, we proceed with recharging the AC system. This involves:
Adding the correct amount of refrigerant and lubricant to the system.
Ensuring the system operates at peak efficiency, providing you with cool air even on the hottest days.
Performance Testing
After recharging the system, we conduct a series of tests to confirm that everything is working perfectly. This includes:
Checking the air temperature inside the cabin.
Verifying the compressor's operation.
Listening for any unusual noises or vibrations.
Our goal is to ensure your AC system is functioning optimally before you hit the road.
Extra Touch: Cabin Filter Replacement
Often overlooked, the cabin air filter plays a significant role in maintaining air quality inside your vehicle. During our AC service, we check the cabin filter and replace it if necessary. This ensures that the air you breathe inside your car is clean and fresh.
