Car A/C service

Find out why the cabin is not cooling.

Call to schedule

What’s included

Weak airflow, warm air and intermittent cooling can have different causes. An A/C inspection may include checking controls, airflow, system operation and signs of leakage. Refrigerant type, equipment and service procedures vary by vehicle, so confirm that the selected store can service your system.

  • Confirm store capability

    Call to confirm support for your vehicle and refrigerant type.

  • Describe cooling behavior

    Explain whether air is warm, airflow is weak or cooling changes while driving.

  • Review the findings

    Ask what was found and which repair or diagnostic step is recommended.

How it works

An uncomfortable cabin can result from low airflow, a system fault or a refrigerant leak. Ask an equipped store to evaluate the symptom and explain the next step before assuming that a recharge will solve it.

  1. A thermometer in a dashboard air vent

    Step 1: Measure what you feel

    Vent temperature and airflow show how well the system is cooling.
  2. Blue and red couplers on the A/C service ports

    Step 2: Read the system

    Gauges on the service ports show the system’s pressures, which help point to the cause.
  3. An A/C service machine connected to a car

    Step 3: The right equipment

    Refrigerant work needs equipment for your system’s refrigerant, so call your store to confirm it can service your vehicle.

Your questions, answered

Still have a question? Call Anaheim: (714) 831-2188

Does warm air mean the system just needs refrigerant?

Not always. A leak, electrical issue, airflow problem or other fault can affect cooling. An inspection should determine the cause before a recharge is recommended.

Is A/C service available at every location?

Equipment and vehicle coverage vary. Contact your chosen location to confirm the refrigerant and diagnostic service it can provide.

How much does car A/C service cost?

It depends on your vehicle and what it needs, so your store quotes it after looking at the vehicle and before any work is done.

How long does car A/C service take?

It depends on your vehicle and what the inspection finds. Call Anaheim for the time your vehicle needs.
