How Do I Know If There’s a Problem?

Diagnosing car issues can always be difficult, especially if you only notice them after you’ve been driving for a while. If you suspect a problem with either your cooling or heating systems, let the engine run with the system on. Put your hand by the vents and determine how cold or hot the air is. While it’s running, pay particular attention to unusual sounds, like knocking or banging, or smells, like chemical scents.

Cooling Issues

If your car isn’t cooling properly, it may simply be a shortage of refrigerant. If it hasn’t been regularly filled, this is the time to top it up or have our service team take care of it for you. If it has been recently filled and is already empty, you may have a leak. Bring your vehicle to our service center, where our team can complete an inspection. We’ll look at the compressor, clutch, hoses, and other critical components to locate and fix the problem.

Heating Issues

The heating system uses a number of moving parts, any one of which can wear out over time. Your air filter may be clogged, in which case we can swap it out for a new one. Clicking sounds when the heat is turned on probably means a compressor needs to be replaced, or the thermostat may need to be reset.
