  • AC System Diagnostics: Every time we undertake an AC repair we first carry out a diagnostic check. With the help of diagnostic instruments, we are able to diagnose problems like refrigerant leaks, faulty compressors, or electrical problems that can cause your air conditioning not to work. Once we have diagnosed the source of the problem, we go ahead with the right repair.
  • Refrigerant Recharge: If your car’s AC system is not cooling as it used to, then it is very likely that the system has low levels of refrigerant. Our team will safely recharge the system with the correct type of refrigerant to get the best cooling performance of the system. Also, we will look for any signs of future failure such as refrigerant leaks.
  • Compressor Repair: The compressor is another vital component of the AC system in your car and when it gets damaged, your air conditioner will not work again. Our technicians can fix or even swap out a faulty compressor so that your AC runs properly.
  • AC Condenser and Evaporator Fixing: Issues with the condenser or the evaporator core may result in poor cooling or complete failure of the AC system. Our team knows how to identify and solve problems that may affect these components ensuring that your air conditioning system is running as required.
  • Blower Motor Repair: If your air conditioning is working but the air is not blowing as it should the problem is most likely the blower motor. We will check and fix or sometimes replace the blower motor so that proper flow of air can be maintained in your car cabin making it cool as you desire.

AC Repair FAQs

When should I bring my car in to get the AC system checked?

The best time to get your AC system checked is at least once per year, preferably before the start of the summer. This way, the system will not develop major problems and will be in proper working condition all the time.

Is it possible to drive a car with faulty AC?
Oh yes, you can still use your vehicle without the AC but your drive may not be comfortable, especially during hot weather.
Why is my car’s AC blowing warm air?
High temperature could be as a result of low refrigerant charge, dirty condenser, or faulty compressor. If your AC is not blowing cold, our expert technicians can assist in diagnosing the problem and fixing it.
What is refrigerant and why is it important?
Refrigerant is a gas that has the function of cooling the air inside a car. The right level of refrigerant is important, if there is not enough refrigerant, the air conditioning system will not be able to cool the air and the result will be poor performance or warm air.
Does bad AC have an impact on the engine?
Although a faulty AC will not impact the performance of your engine, a bad AC compressor could add more pressure to your engine particularly if it sticks. This, however, can be prevented through early repairs.
How long does it take to fix the AC?
It depends on the case at hand. A refrigerant recharge can take as short as an hour while other major repairs such as compressor replacement can take many hours. At German Auto Doctor, our AC service is fast and efficient, so we will not waste time in getting you back on the road.
Why does my AC have a smell?
If the AC gives off a stench, then it may be a result of mold or bacteria growth within the system. This is mostly as a result of water condensing on the inside of the air ducts or evaporator. An AC cleaning or cabin air filter replacement can help get rid of such smells.
At German Auto Doctor, we know how much you need your AC on, especially during the summer in California and this is why we offer different kinds of AC services.
