Diagnostics

A/C Diagnostic

A/C pressure tested, leaks located, and the system recharged.

Signs you need this

  • Air conditioning blows warm or barely cool
  • A/C works intermittently or only at speed
  • Clicking or squealing when the A/C is switched on
  • Musty smell from the vents

An A/C system that blows warm is almost always low on refrigerant, and it's low because it leaked. Simply recharging it sends you back to the same place next summer.

We find the leak first — with dye or electronic detection — repair it, then evacuate and recharge to the correct weight.

We run machines for both R134a and R1234yf. Vehicles built in roughly the last decade use R1234yf, which needs its own dedicated equipment — a lot of shops only have the older R134a machine and have to turn those cars away.

Common questions

Why is my A/C blowing warm?

Most often a refrigerant leak, since these systems are sealed and don't consume refrigerant in normal use. It can also be a failing compressor or clutch, a blocked condenser, or an electrical fault — we pressure test and find which before recharging anything.

Do you service R1234yf systems?

Yes. Newer vehicles use R1234yf, which needs its own dedicated machine — plenty of shops can only handle the older R134a and turn those cars away. We run both.

Is a top-up enough, or do I need the leak fixed?

If it's low, it leaked. Topping it up without finding the leak means you'll be back next summer, and the escaping refrigerant takes the compressor's lubricating oil with it. We use electronic and dye detection to locate the source.

Why does my A/C smell musty?

Usually a clogged cabin air filter or moisture sitting in the evaporator housing. We check the filter as part of the service, and it's often the whole fix.
