Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my A/C blowing warm air?
The most common causes are low refrigerant (often due to a slow leak), a failing compressor, a clogged condenser, or an electrical issue with the A/C clutch. We start with a full system diagnostic — pressure test, leak check, and electrical inspection — before recommending any repair so you know exactly what's going on.
How long does an A/C recharge take?
A standard refrigerant recharge typically takes 30–60 minutes. If we find a leak that needs to be repaired first, the job will take longer depending on the location and severity of the leak. We'll give you a clear time estimate before we start.
My heater isn't warming up — what could it be?
Common causes include a low coolant level, a stuck thermostat, a clogged heater core, or a faulty blend door actuator. Some of these are quick fixes; heater core replacement is more involved. Call us and describe the symptoms — our techs can often narrow it down before you even bring the car in.
