Some important questions you should be asking
1. Why only a 1 Year/12k warranty? The average driver in Texas drives 15k in a year.
2. Will their repairs show up on Carfax or reported to other similar services?
3. Will their repairs invalidate your extended care warranty?
4. Certifications? Do they actually have any?
5. Experience? Experience & Expertise Matter!
European auto repairs are often require OEM parts, specialized tools, training & unfortunately expensive.
Allowing an uncertified auto repair shops or technicians to work on these automobiles can have costly consequences! Often these repairs require specialized tools & training. BMW, Mercedes Benz, Jaguar, Audi are wonderful vehicles to drive but they also have complex systems that require experienced technicians to perform those repairs properly. When they come off warranty the repair bills can add up quickly!
​​In the short & long term that cheap mobile mechanic may end up costing you much more than you think!
We all want to get the most for our hard earned money and trust that the repairs were done correctly but more than likely you are going to get exactly what you paid for. Cheap, fast, & in a hurry may get you back on the road today, but what about in a few weeks, months, or a year from now? We often fix other mechanics mistakes. Especially mobile mechanics & even large, franchise mobile auto repair companies!​
Questionable expertise and experience with a 1 Year/12k warranty is not much of an assurance in the quality of service!
Most Common Auto AC Repairs In Texas
In Texas, you may use your heater and air conditioner all in the same day just depending on the time. Afternoons can get quite stifling requiring that blast of cool air from your cars ac. Luckily, this is the time of year that if your cars AC does go out, it’s not the end of the world. However, you don’t want to be without cars ac too long because the temperatures will only continue to rise! Most people are not sure how to diagnose their Auto AC problems. There are several reasons why your car ac may stop working, here are the most common auto ac problems and how they can be repaired.
Your cars air conditioning system is comprised of many components including an ac compressor that is driven by the engine; an ac expansion valve that regulates the flow of refrigerant or Freon; and two ac heat exchangers including the ac evaporator and ac condenser. Refrigerant (Freon) is a fluid that turns into a gas and back to liquid form, flowing throughout the system.
Most often this issue is caused by an ac refrigerant (Freon) leak (R12, R134a, or R1234yf). Your cars ac relies heavily on the refrigerant (Freon) to cool the vehicle. Without sufficient ac refrigerant, the other auto ac components will be unable to function. An Auto AC leak can occur at any time but most often it is due to a hole in a connection, ac hoses, ac compressor, ac condenser, or a ruptured ac evaporator. Unlike an oil leak, unfortunately, refrigerant (Freon) leaks are difficult to identify (R12, R134z, or R1234yf). This is because your auto ac refrigerant is meant to evaporate when exposed to the environment.
Solution: A Kool2U certified auto ac repair specialist will need to add a fluorescent leak tracer dye and ac refrigerant to the system. Once added, your auto ac repair technician will run the car ac and using a Kool2U's Proprietary Leak Detection System . Your Auto AC Repair Technician will then be able to identify your auto ac leak to begin repairs and finally perform an ac evacuation and ac recharge to once again blow cold air. Kool2U's proprietary leak detection system finds the leaks other auto ac systems miss!
This issue isn’t as clear cut as hot air coming through the vents. A knowledgeable 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 automotive air conditioning 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.
Most often this issue is 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 and 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.
Anytime your car makes a noise that wasn’t there before could 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 AC may only make things worse. Call Kool2U's Mobile Auto A/C Repair Specialists to perform a thorough inspection. A thorough inspection your car ac will be able to determine 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 Mobile Auto AC Repair and schedule an appointment. 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.
No matter what symptoms your car ac may be experiencing, a certified Kool2U auto ac repair specialist knows how to properly diagnose car AC problems and how to properly repair your vehicle's ac to properly function. Need service on your Auto AC for repair?
