How a Air Conditioning Inspection works with My Auto Shop:

A qualified mechanic or auto electrician will go check over your entire air conditioning system to understand whats causing the issue, including the electrical side of the system. They will then check the AC gas level and ensure there are no leaks from any of the hoses or compressor.

If required the mechanic will provide a quote for necessary repairs or replacement parts.

When your AC is not working its often as a result of:

• Worn compressor
• Broken condenser
• Faulty blower motor or resistor
• Damaged receiver/dryer
• Blown fuse

Heater Fan Motor Replacement

If your air-con air flow has the same force as fanning a napkin on your face then your heater fan motor might need replacing. Rather than have a hot car and annoyed passengers, keep the blower motor working as it should. Not to mention that if your windscreen fogs up you’ll need the blower to clear it so that you can see.

AC Condenser Replacement

The Air Con Condenser is just like a small radiator, similar to the one in the engine bay of your vehicle. It cools refrigerant gas that has come from the air con compressor and converts it into a liquid. It does this much like how steam cools to make water, it’s the resulting refrigerant liquid that is used to produce cool air for your enjoyment on hot days.

AC Pressure Switch Replacement

Your air conditioning is a very complicated system, there are plenty of relays, hoses, and other electrical components to keep you cool in summer. The pressure switches are a part of these key components.

AC Compressor Relay Replacement

The relay for your air conditioning compressor is how your a/c dial tells your power supply that it’s time to fire up your air con. If it stops working, your a/c won’t come on and you’ll be left with the windows down cursing your car. Luckily it’s an easy fix and something that doesn’t cost the world.
