Car AC Repair at Gordon CDJR

Being stuck in a hot car is no fun. While your vehicle’s air conditioning system may not directly play a role in how well the car runs, a broken air conditioner can change the driving experience substantially. And as those child safety videos often remind us, a car can get dangerously hot inside. Will your car’s AC perform this summer?

Why AC Repair is Important

Chillicothe commuters know the pain of being stuck in traffic on a hot day without working air conditioning. If your car AC system is not working as well as it should, it is important to have it checked before the lack of heat becomes a dangerous problem.

When You Should Get AC Repair

When your AC system is making strange clunking noises, or is no longer blowing cold air, it is time to get the AC system checked. Fluid leaks, a stuck clutch or the car’s circuit breaker tripping are also signs that AC repair may be needed.

The AC Repair Process

There are three main types of potential AC system repairs. The easiest is perhaps a leak repair and coolant replacement. Sometimes, a skilled technician is needed to carry out more advanced electrical work. In the most drastic cases, a complete AC system replacement may be needed

Cost of AC Repair

AC repair comes at a wide range of price points, depending on the exact service needed. The estimated average price for all AC repair services is roughly $384-445. However, coolant refill and fixing may be cheaper than more advanced procedures such as condenser or system replacements.

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

When getting an estimate, it is good to clarify exactly which type of AC repair is needed. Can the service center plug fluid leaks and replace the coolant? Is more advanced electrical work needed? The answers to these questions can help you understand the time and money needed to fix the AC system.

Signs of a Quality AC Repair

A quality AC repair will restore cool air to your vehicle without any leaks or strange sounds. Under optimal conditions, a coolant refill will last up to 3 years, while a full system replacement will last up to 10.

Caring for Your Vehicle After AC Repair

Drivers should have their car AC unit checked regularly, along with other maintenance work, so potential problems can be caught early.
