When your car is not cooling the way it should, we can check the A/C system, explain what is causing the problem, and complete the service or repair your vehicle needs.
We help with warm air, weak airflow, refrigerant leaks, and problems with A/C parts or controls. If our check shows that a recharge is all it needs, our standard R-134a recharge is $120 total. You receive a written estimate before any repair begins.
A/C services we perform
For A/C repair, what the vehicle needs depends on what the system is doing and what the inspection shows. The initial check and recharge price are explained above. Our A/C work may include:
- A/C performance testing
- Leak testing and leak repair
- Compressor and other A/C part repair
- Fan, blower, and control checks
- Weak-airflow and cabin-comfort concerns
- $120 recharge service for standard R-134a systems
When to bring your vehicle in
Have the A/C checked if the air is no longer cold, the cabin takes longer to cool, airflow feels weak, or cooling changes between driving and sitting in traffic. A new smell, noise, or a system that turns on and off unexpectedly also deserves a closer look.
Those symptoms can begin in different parts of the system. We use what you are experiencing as the starting point, then check the areas related to that condition.
Compressor, airflow, and control problems
A cooling problem can involve the compressor, airflow at the front of the vehicle, a fan or blower, the cabin filter, or an electrical control. We check the parts connected to the condition you noticed and recommend only the work supported by the findings.
What to expect at Gonzalez
Tell us what the A/C is doing and when you notice it. For diagnosis or repair, we inspect the areas connected to the concern and explain what we find in plain language. We check the system first; if an R-134a recharge is all it needs, the total is $120. No additional work begins without your approval.
