Auto AC Repair Services Jackson & Ann Arbor MI
We are locally owned and operated auto and diesel repair shops with an emphasis on customer service, accurate estimates, and fair pricing for all.
Ac System Inspection
We inspect all of the following items of your vehicle’s air conditioning system including:
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Evaporator
- Blower Motor
- Thermostat
- Heater Core
Maintain your vehicle’s cooling system by flushing and refilling it every 24 months. Regularly check the coolant’s level, condition, and concentration to prevent engine overheating.
Compressor Repair
We run a diagnostic on the condenser. The condenser dissipates heat from the refrigerant, so any blockages or damage to it can hinder its ability to cool air effectively.
We are committed to providing transparent estimates and keeping auto repair costs low to ensure our customers find cost-effective solutions for their automotive maintenance and repairs.
Evaporator Repair
The evaporator absorbs heat from the car’s interior and pushes it through the AC so the flow of air can continue, replacing hot air with cold air.
We visually inspect the evaporator, looking for leaks, corrosion, or damage. Our technicians also inspect the fins and coils, and do a temperature check.
Refrigerant Recharge
Without refrigerant, your AC will not work as intended. We replace depleted refrigerant, which maintains proper pressure within the system, allowing the compressor to cool the air efficiently.
Our expert repair service ensures your vehicle’s AC system functions optimally.
Expansion Valve
This tube regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, causing it to expand and drop in pressure as it enters into the evaporator. We make sure there aren’t any clogs or blockages that would impede the flow of refrigerant.
We also check the temperature before and after the tube, refrigerant flow, connection points and any signs of leakage.
Hose and Line Replacement
We inspect all lines and hoses that transport refrigerant between the various components of the AC system.
Our vehicle repair services are comprehensive, ensuring that all aspects of the AC in your vehicle are well-maintained.
Blow Motor
The blow motor pushes air through the vents into the car or truck cabin. We check the electrical connection, and airflow, listen for any unusual noises, resistor pack, and overall functionality.
Additionally, we ensure that the heating system is fully functional to maintain vehicle comfort.
AC System Flush
The blow motor pushes air through the vents into the car or truck cabin. We check the electrical connection, and airflow, listen for any unusual noises, resistor pack, and overall functionality.

A/C Repair FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you know if your auto AC needs freon?
A: If you notice a decrease in cold airflow from the vents or that the system fails to maintain a consistent temperature in the cabin, it could be because it needs Freon. If you hear hissing or bubbling sounds, it could signal a Freon leak.
Q: How do I diagnose my car's AC myself?
A: Check for visible signs of damage or leaks in the hoses, compressor, and condenser. Additionally, if you hear unusual noises when the AC is running, or experience weak airflow, then schedule an appointment with us and we'll check it out.
Q: How long does a car's AC system last?
A:Generally, the air conditioner in your car can last anywhere from five to ten years before major components such as the compressor start having problems. Regular maintenance and refrigerant checks can extend the lifespan of the system.
Q: How can I tell if my vehicle's AC needs to a recharge?
A: The main indicator is a noticeable decline in cooling efficiency, where the air coming from the vents is not as cold as it previously was, despite setting the temperature to the lowest setting.
Q: How often should I refill the Freon in my car?
A: Refilling Freon isn't based on a timeline, but rather on the condition and performance of the air conditioner itself. If it isn't performing as intended, then we'll thoroughly inspect the system for you and let you know what the problem is.
Q: Can a car lose Freon without a leak?
A: Not really. However, minimal loss can occur over extended periods due to the permeation of microscopic particles through hoses and seals, which can result in a gradual decrease in refrigerant levels.
Q: What is the most common problem that can occur in a car's AC system?
A: The most common problem that can occur in a car's air conditioning is a coolant leak. Over time, the seals, hoses, and connections may degrade or become damaged, which causes leaking refrigerant.
Q: When is the coolant temperature too high?
A: The coolant temperature in an internal combustion engine is generally considered too high when it exceeds the manufacturer's specified safe operating range, which is typically between 195 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit for most vehicles.
