Have you noticed that your vehicle’s air conditioning system is not performing as well as it used to? Maybe the temperature of the air coming out of the vents is not as cold as it used to be, or maybe the passenger vents are warmer or colder than the drivers’ side vents. Is your air conditioner making noise when you turn it on, like a hissing or screeching noise?
These are all indicators that the air conditioner needs to be serviced. As soon as you notice any of these symptoms, bring your vehicle into Precision Automotive and one of our certified technicians will diagnose and resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.
At Precision Automotive in Poway, CA we see many types of A/C problems. The most common culprit of diminished air conditioning performance is a low charge of refrigerant in the system. Usually the refrigerant (freon as it used to be called) has escaped through a leak in the system. Other issues can include a bad AC compressor that needs to be replaced. Maybe the compressor clutch or valve failed causing it not to turn on. Maybe the compressor has had an internal failure. Whatever the issue, we will diagnose and service your vehicles air conditioning in Poway, CA to ensure that it blows cold and is performing its best.
In the case of a failed clutch or valve, we can replace the compressor along with the receiver-drier, recharge the system and it will operate as designed.
Other times, in the case of an internal failure on a compressor, metal dust or debris may have circulated in the system. Your car’s air conditioner has many tiny orifices for the refrigerant to travel, those passages can easily be plugged with fine metal particles. In some of these cases we must perform an AC flush to remove that debris along with often replacing components that cannot be cleaned properly, like the condenser and expansion valves, for example.
Proper diagnosis of air conditioning systems and repairs takes a certified trained professional along with specialized tools. That is why, if you need AC service in Poway, CA, you should come to us at Precision Automotive. Without a knowledgeable mechanic and proper leak detection equipment parts can easily be replaced that were not needed, while still never addressing the root cause. Over time, with having to constantly re-charge the system because a leak could not be properly located, this will cost a lot of money. Also less honest shops will charge to replace parts that did not fix your vehicle because they did not have proper tools or trained professionals. We take pride in our efficient and honest auto repairs, including AC service and repair in Poway, CA. Conveniently schedule an appointment online or call us today!
