Our Comprehensive Evaluation for your A/C & Heating System Can Find What Is Going On In You Vehicles System.

Our diagnostic check is extensive and very thorough. We examine the complete internal controls and blower of the system. Coolant checks on the radiator and operating pressure check. All hoses, radiator cap, thermostat are checked to ensure they are still in good working order and do not need to be replaced. Complete compression belt inspection and inspecting the overall system for leaks or ware and tare damage. The diagnostic includes a cooling pressure test and measures the inside blowing temperatures.

MAIN A/C RELATED REPAIRS AND SERVICES:

If a repair is needed after diagnostics, we assure you, we can repair and solve the problem.

AIR CONDITIONING - Compete system repair and replacements. We install new quality compressors with included warranties.

BELTS - Fan/Drive belt replacement. This is the belt that is attached to your car engines front mounted accessories. This belt is a crucial tool for overall vehicle operation. This belt rotates the water pump and engine fan. Naturally the drive belt will crack and dry out.

HOSES

The hoses in your vehicle transfer all your important fluids at the right time, right quantity and to the correct place. When discussing A/C and heating systems, there are hoses that move the engine’s coolant and antifreeze throughout the system. Hoses too, will naturally ware out, and crack and leak and/or lose pressure. We inspect your hoses to ensure they are in good working order and can notify you if we see something coming to be prepared for. Our hoses are high quality hoses to handle specific A/C system coolants and pressure. We ensure you car stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter with fresh hoses.

COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH

The coolant in an air conditioner system transfers the excess heat from one part of the engine and processes it through the radiator fan. Eventually the fan becomes dirty. This can create old coolant, which will have a negative impact on the performance. During our diagnostic we can check the vent temperatures to see if a coolant flush may be needed. A coolant flush is a easy preventative repair to ensure the system is working efficiently. This is a basic maintenance for your car’s cooling system.

RADIATOR FLUSH

The radiator is what keeps the engine cool and protects the system from overheating. The radiator needs to stay cool, and must remain cool, including the fluid. Over time dirt, rush and sludge buildup can occur inside the radiator. This can cause failures, lesser performance and clogged problems. A routine radiator flush keeps the system running properly. This is easily part of route maintenance schedule for your vehicle. This is an easy to do preventative and ensures performance. We use the best radiator fluid options to ensure your vehicle is running cool.

RADIATORS REPAIR/REPLACEMENT

The heat exchanger in your car for your air conditioning systems internal combustion is the radiator. A radiator cools the engine though coolant circulation from the engine block and loses heat to the atmosphere through radiation. There is a complete set of hoses/tubes in the radiator in which the engine coolant flows through. Radiators can fail from excessive heat produce from the engine and can cause damage to various engine components. For prevention we can routinely service your radiator. We inspect and keep the environment of the radiator fresh and ensure all components that feed to it are in good working and proper condition.

SEASONAL AWARENESS TO HOW TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN A VEHICLE
