How can I estimate the cost of my auto repairs?
Here are 3 reputable, online auto repair cost estimators?
*These sites provide estimates before the actual source of the problem has been diagnosed.
Most often this issue is caused by an ac refrigerant (or freon) leak. Your cars ac system relies heavily on the refrigerant to cool the vehicle. Without sufficient ac refrigerant, the other auto ac components will be unable to function.
A leak in your cars AC system is usually due to a hole in a connection, ac hoses, ac compressor, ac condenser, or a ruptured ac evaporator. Unlike an oil leak, refrigerant leaks are difficult to identify this is because your auto ac refrigerant is meant to evaporate when exposed to the environment.
Solution: Call Kool2U's Certified Auto AC Repair Specialists. Using our MaxKool Auto AC Leak Detection Diagnostic Service we will find the root of your cars ac leak. Having pinpointed the source of your cars AC leak our technician can then build an accurate estimate of the parts, service, & time involved in making the necessary repairs to get your cars AC blowing cold air again.
If there is no air coming from your cars AC vents the issue isn’t as clear cut as hot air coming through the vents. A Certified Kool2U Auto AC Repair Technician will need to eliminate the possible causes by checking several components first. The auto ac repair technician may begin checking for:
-
A blown fuse or bad relay – If the ventilation fuse blows there will be no power to the ac blower motor preventing air from blowing through the vents. Likewise, a bad ac relay can also be the culprit since the relay takes the small electrical current and uses it to regulate the larger current needed for ventilation.
-
Damage to the auto ac blower motor or blower resistor – The ac blower motor is what pushes the air through the vents in the car, similar to a fan in your home. Auto AC Blower motors that have malfunctioned due to wear or age will prevent air from coming through the vents. Similarly, the ac blower resistor works with the ac blower motor to control the level of how much air is produced to flow through the vents (low, medium, high) based on your preference.
-
Blocked air intake – Auto AC's have two areas where air enters your cars ac One is where air enters your cars ac is through vents by the lower half of the windshield and the other is the air that is recirculated from inside the cabin. If either of the ac air intake areas is blocked from a clogged filter or other debris, your cars ac vents may blow little to no air.
-
Damaged belts and hoses – An auto AC system is equipped with many ac hoses and belts that operate your cars ac system. Any sort of ac leak, detachment, or blockages will prevent proper airflow from your cars ac vents.
When your cars AC blows cool but not cold air this issue is usually due to low ac refrigerant. When there is not enough ac refrigerant (Freon) in the system the pressure is reduced which prevents the clutch from triggering the ac compressor to begin its cycle.
If enough ac refrigerant is in the system it could also be caused by:
-
Blocked or Failed Condenser – Your cars ac condenser is the device that takes the ac refrigerant from its gaseous state by removing the heat and transforming it back into a liquid state. If your cars ac condenser has a blockage or is otherwise damaged, the air coming through the vents will not be cold.
-
Failed Clutch Switch – If this component is not functioning, the ac compressor will be unable to operate, thus preventing it from condensing the liquid refrigerant into gas.
When you turn on your cars ac & an noxious smell of mildew hits your nostrils, it’s because of the growth of bacteria in your cars ac system. This is common with automobiles that seldom use the auto AC, are older, or that frequently use the maximum ac setting (due to extra moisture in the unit). Bacteria, mold, fungi, and other micro-organisms may develop behind the dashboard on your cars ac evaporator. This growth produces a foul odor that comes out of the vents.
Solution: Auto AC Air filters can collect dirt, water, dust, and other pollutants and after some time producing an odor. Replacing your cars ac air filter will help combat this issue. If replacing the filter does not eradicate the stench, a Kool2U Auto AC Repair Technician will need to add an anti-bacterial solution into your car's ac evaporator area to kill mold and other contaminants from the ac system.
When your cars AC starts making a noise that wasn’t there before it can be a sign of trouble. Auto AC systems are relatively quiet when in use. When you turn on your car ac and hear rattling, banging, or other unusual sounds, it’s normal to feel a bit nervous about what is causing the issue. It could be as simple as leaves or other road debris blocking the ac system producing all sorts of unusual noises. It could also indicate a major component of your cars ac could be in failure and in need of repair. If a bearing is worn out your car ac it will produce a grinding or squealing sound. A rattling sound could indicate your cars ac compressor’s clutch has failed.
Solution: Continuing to use your car A/C may only make things worse. Call Kool2U's Auto AC Repair Specialists to perform a thorough diagnotic. Our MaxKool Auto AC Diagnostic Service will be able to accurately pinpoint if a major component is in failure and whether your cars ac will need to be repaired.
Bacteria builds up on your car ac evaporator coil in the AC heater box located under your dashboard. The bacteria from airflow mixes with the condensation from the car ac coils, creating a slimy film on the AC fins and producing a moldy smell. After time, the film builds up and can clog the drain line. The drain line is a rubber hose that begins in the ac evaporator heater box, goes through the floor, and to the undercarriage to remove excess moisture. Once plugged, water from the condensation fills up the ac heater box and begins dripping out and onto the floor of the vehicle, typically on the passenger side.
Solution: If you notice the floor of your automobile is damp, don’t hesitate in contacting Kool2U Auto Repair Service. A Kool2U Auto AC Repair technician will need to determine what has caused the drain line to become clogged and repair or replace the hose as necessary.
When you’re driving your car and the ac suddenly goes from comfortably cool to horribly hot, you know there’s a problem with your car's ac system. It’s possible that the ac expansion valve that dispenses the correct amount of ac refrigerant (Freon) to the ac evaporator has failed. A blocked ac expansion valve prevents the refrigerant (Freon) from reaching the ac evaporator and, if moisture is present, causing the ac valve to freeze.
Solution: Your car's ac should be cold. If it’s not a Kool2U certified auto ac repair technician will need to properly test the ac system’s pressure and inspect components for blockages or malfunctions.
Solution: Contact Kool2U to have one of our ASE Certified auto ac repair specialist run our MaxKool AC Diagnostic on your cars AC system. We will get your cars AC working properly and get you back on the road with no AC worries!
