Automotive A/C Repair

If your air conditioning is not keeping you cool, we start by checking refrigerant levels, system pressure, compressor function, and cabin airflow. Common A/C services include:


  • Compressor replacement
  • Condenser repair or replacement
  • Cabin air filter service
  • Refrigerant recharge (if low)
  • Leak detection and repair
  • Blower motor replacement
  • HVAC control panel diagnostics
  • Electrical connection testing



A properly functioning A/C system is not just about comfort. It also helps with windshield defogging and climate safety during extreme temperatures.

Battery and Charging System

We test your battery, alternator, and starter to identify weak points in the starting and charging system. If your vehicle is slow to start or dies unexpectedly, this is often the source.


  • Battery testing and replacement
  • Alternator diagnostics and replacement
  • Starter motor inspection
  • Voltage testing and load analysis
  • Cable and ground checks



We install high-quality batteries and ensure your system is charging correctly before returning the vehicle.

Lighting and Wiring Issues

Flickering lights, non-working turn signals, or interior electronics that fail can all point to wiring or connection problems. Our team traces circuits and isolates faults, including:



  • Headlight and tail light replacements
  • Signal and brake light repairs
  • Electrical shorts or open circuits
  • Fuse box issues
  • Wiring harness inspections


If your dash lights or interior accessories are acting up, we can help determine what is causing the problem.

Sensor and Module Diagnostics

Modern cars rely on electronic modules and sensors to control everything from fuel injection to climate settings. When these sensors fail or send inaccurate signals, the vehicle may behave unpredictably.


We use OBD-II diagnostic tools and live data monitoring to pinpoint:

  • HVAC control module faults
  • Ambient temperature sensor errors
  • Blend door actuator malfunctions
  • Pressure switches or relay faults


Once we identify the failed component, we provide options for repair or replacement based on your budget and vehicle needs.

Common Symptoms of A/C or Electrical Problems

If you notice any of the following, your vehicle may need A/C or electrical diagnostics:



  • Air is warm even with the A/C turned on
  • Fan blows weakly or not at all
  • Battery light appears on the dashboard
  • Headlights dim or flicker while driving
  • Interior lights or accessories stop working
  • Car will not start, especially in cold or hot weather
  • Dash display or A/C controls stop responding


We recommend calling us as soon as you notice any of these symptoms. Addressing them early can prevent larger, more expensive repairs later.

Why Electrical and A/C Repairs Matter

Electrical issues are often the most confusing for drivers. Many of today’s systems rely on sensors, relays, and modules that require the right tools to diagnose. When these components fail or malfunction, the symptoms can seem unrelated or appear intermittently.


Our job is to take the guesswork out of the process. We use scan tools, multimeters, and electrical system schematics to trace the issue, explain the solution, and perform the repair correctly the first time.


Whether the issue is a blown fuse or a failing compressor, we provide straightforward answers and dependable repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is my A/C blowing hot air?

    This could be due to low refrigerant, a failed compressor, an electrical issue, or a leak in the system. We will check pressure levels, run diagnostics, and find the root cause.

  • Can I drive with an electrical issue?

    It depends on the severity. If lights or critical systems are affected, it is best to have it checked right away. Minor accessory issues may not be urgent but should still be inspected.

  • How do I know if my alternator is going bad?

    Common signs include dimming lights, slow starts, warning lights on the dashboard, or a dead battery. We can test the alternator and confirm whether it is charging correctly.

  • Do you offer refrigerant recharges?

    Yes, but only after confirming there are no leaks or underlying problems. Simply adding refrigerant without identifying a cause can lead to repeated failures.

  • What is the cost for electrical diagnostics?

    Pricing varies depending on the issue. We always explain diagnostic fees up front and apply them toward the repair cost when approved.

  • How do I schedule a diagnostic appointment?

    We book all service appointments by phone. Call (757) 622-7730 to speak with a team member directly.
