Car Air Conditioning Repair at Benson Alfa Romeo in Greer, South Carolina

Why Car AC Repair is Important

We hear warnings all the time about how dangerous it is to leave animals or children in a vehicle in the summer without air conditioning. While rolling the windows down or blowing the fan can help, driving without air conditioning can be dangerous, especially in the hot months and for people with sensitivities to heat.

When You Should Get Car AC Repair

The good news is that the indicators that you might need an AC repair are easy to spot. If your air isn't cooling or your fan isn't blowing, you'll want to take your car into the shop. Other indicators include strange noises or smells when your AC is on, unexpected moisture in the air when your air is running, or fluid leaks.

The Car AC Repair Process

Steps 1

A technician will first evaluate your vehicle to assess your AC and determine necessary repairs.

Steps 2

Once the issue is identified, repairs will be made to the broken or damaged components. Problems range from low refrigerant to a faulty compressor or a bad pressure switch. A damaged condenser or a failed condenser fan can also be an issue.

Steps 3

The technician will check all components and make sure that the problem is fixed and the AC is now working properly.
