Air Conditioning Repair

No one likes getting into a sweltering car, but it’s such a relief to turn on your AC and feel that cool air kick in. Until the day it doesn’t.

What are Some Signs Your Car Needs A/C Repair?

Less Cool Air Output

You probably know what to expect from your car’s air conditioning output. If your car doesn’t provide the level of cooling it usually does, it could indicate a problem with the AC system. In some cases, the difference in cooling may be slight. For example, you may feel like the airflow isn’t quite as powerful as usual. In other instances, the change may be more dramatic. You may notice the air being pushed from the vents is very faint, or the air conditioning may be sending warm air or no air to the cabin.

Several factors can cause diminished airflow:

Mold or mildew build up, preventing air from reaching the vents
Loose hose
Fried ventilation fan

Your A/C System Makes Unusual Noises While Running

Automotive air conditioning systems, when functioning properly, are designed to do so with minimal noise. If you notice your A/C system is louder or is making unusual noises while running, it could be an indication that something needs to be addressed.

Your car’s air conditioning system relies heavily on the compressor, which pressurizes the system and ensures proper refrigerant flow. The compressor utilizes a pulley bearing. If this bearing is worn out, your air conditioning will make a squealing or grinding sound. This problem often can be fixed by replacing the bearing.

Your car’s compressor also uses a clutch, and this component suffers lots of wear and tear over time. If your compressor’s clutch is worn out, you’ll hear a rattling sound. In cases like this, it may be possible to solve the problem by installing a new clutch. But sometimes the entire compressor will need to be replaced.

Unusual Odor Coming from Vents

Does the air coming out of your car’s vents smell like a locker game after a high school football game? Certain issues can cause your car’s air conditioning to pump rancid air into the cabin. An aged or filthy cabin filter can trigger this problem. Funky odors also can be caused by mold that has accumulated on the air conditioning system’s evaporator case.

Water Pools in the Cabin After Running A/C

Air conditioning systems are designed to drain water from the bottom of the car. Sometimes the drains that facilitate this process become blocked. In cases like this, water can back up and gather within the vehicle.

An air conditioning system with a blocked drain can cause water to pool under your car’s front floor mats or beneath the dash. Water stains or pooled water in these areas may indicate your vehicle’s air conditioning needs professional attention.

Car AC Recharge Services

The worst time to find out that your Car’s air conditioning needs repair is during a 100-degree heatwave. Metric Motors will have your vehicles A/C blowing ice cold air in no time. One of the main reasons that your ac “loses its charge” is that over time, your AC refrigerant levels can become low, losing their ability to blow sufficient cold air.

At Metric Motors, we check your vehicle’s AC fluid level and replenish it to the correct levels. This is our first line of defense in maintaining your air conditioning system. This service also helps prevent condenser and/or compressor failure, which can turn into a much costlier AC repair. Mold and mildew that grow inside the dark, damp evaporator of the air conditioning system can decrease the quality of air circulating in your vehicle. It’s our job to remove these contaminants and make sure that the cold air blowing throughout your car is as clean and enjoyable as possible.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service and Professionalism! I want to express my sincere appreciation to the entire team at Metric Motors for the outstanding service I received while having my 2020 Honda Pilot repaired. My vehicle was experiencing multiple dashboard warning lights, leaving me concerned about its safety and the possibility of costly repairs. From the beginning, the team at Metric Motors demonstrated professionalism, technical expertise, and attention to detail. Rather than simply replacing parts, they took the time to properly diagnose the problem, identify the cause, and recommend the appropriate repairs. What I appreciated most was their thorough approach, honest communication, and commitment to getting the job done right. It’s reassuring to know there are still automotive professionals who take pride in their workmanship and genuinely care about their customers. Finding a mechanic you can trust is invaluable, and Metric Motors has certainly earned my confidence. Thank you to the entire team for your excellent service. I highly recommend Metric Motors to anyone looking for knowledgeable, dependable, and trustworthy automotive professionals!

I began my relationship with Metric Motors as a result of my brother-in-law recommending Nitro Fill for my tires. From day one, I have been impressed with the team, the efficiency and overall environment. It has become my support system for my car. I feel confident that I will always receive fair and excellent service. Thank you all! Adrienne

Early in my experience with MM, I walked in with some sort of car problem. It was either a dashboard light or some strange noise, I don’t recall exactly what it was. They looked into the problem, identified it and informed me that it was still covered under my dealer warranty. They could have easily hit me for a $300-400 or even $500 dollar repair and I would have been none the wiser. But they didn’t. They did the right thing. That’s why they have my loyalty. That’s why MM is my mechanic and always will be.
