A/C Repair & Service

Every ride in your car should be a comfortable one, and a functioning air conditioner is key. At Auto Medics, our trusted technicians will make sure your A/C is running optimally so that you’re not sweating your way from Point A to Point B! We specialize in the following services:

A/C Diagnostics and Repair

• Visual inspection of A/C components
• Performance tests including system "state of charge" test & system control test
• Leak test using approved electronic leak detector
• If a slow leak cannot be detected, a dye detection service may need to be performed

A/C Retrofit

Our A/C Retrofit service may be needed for vehicles made before 1993, which require costly refrigerant for air conditioning. This service includes:

• Visual inspection of A/C components
• System conversion to modern refrigerant
• If conversion cannot be performed, installation of new compressor may be necessary

Signs You Need A/C Repair

Sometimes it’s obvious, for example you’ve turned your car’s A/C on but it still feels like a sauna in your vehicle. Other times, the warning signs might not be so clear. When should you book an appointment?

• There’s a strange smell coming from your A/C vents
• You can’t feel any air blowing, or the air doesn’t get as cool as it used to
• Your A/C is making funny noises

Car Heater Repair

When it comes to having a pleasant drive, the only thing that rivals your car’s A/C in importance is your car’s heater. When winter arrives and the temperature drops, your car shouldn’t feel like a freezer. At Auto Medics, we’ll inspect, diagnose, and repair your heater to ensure that you stay toasty warm in the coldest months.

Signs You Need A Car Heater Repair

If you turned your car’s heater on ten minutes ago and you’re still shivering, that’s your first sign that something might be wrong. However, a few less obvious signs can also warn you that your heater is on thin ice. Your car heater may need service if:

• There’s an unpleasant or foreign smell coming from the heater vents
• The windshield and/or windows are fogging up
• You can see antifreeze leaking in your car’s interior
• Your car suddenly needs a ton of coolant
