AC Service at Victory Chevrolet

On a hot day, climbing into your driver’s seat and kicking on the AC to cool off is great. Like any system in your car, truck, minivan, or SUV, it needs to be maintained to work properly. If you live in Ottawa, Olathe, or Lawrence, you can bring your vehicle to Victory Chevrolet for quality service to keep your AC working well.

When AC systems wear out or break down, refrigerant can leak out. The refrigerant used in your AC is harmful to the environment and can also cause damage to your vehicle’s compressor and/or evaporator. It is important to get your AC serviced whenever you are experiencing problems in the system. This will affect your comfort when you drive and will save you time and money in the long run.

AC Function Check

If your car’s AC isn’t working properly, don’t lose your cool. Bring it into our Service Center at Victory Chevrolet and let our AC experts inspect your system for any leaks or other problems and recharge the AC with refrigerant if needed.   Our professional technicians can inspect and diagnose any issues before they become worse.

Over time, the fittings can become loose, hoses, seals, and O Rings wear out, and that nice cool blast of air stops coming from your vents. When that happens, our experts can replace any parts that need to be replaced.

Common AC Problems

Here are some signs and symptoms that can tell you that the AC needs to be serviced:

  • Warm or hot air blowing out of the AC vents: If water gets into the AC system, it merges with the refrigerant and becomes a corrosive acid that can eat away at seals, hoses, and rings. This can cause leaks to form in the system so it can no longer cool out your vehicle’s cabin.
  • Weird smells coming from the vents: It can indicate that water has gotten into the system. It can mean mold or mildew because the cabin air filter is dirty and clogged or a blocked drain in your system’s evaporator case.
  • Lack of any pressure when the air comes through the vents. It can mean you have excess moisture in the system’s evaporator core leading to a buildup of mold, dirt, or debris that is blocking airflow into the cabin. It can also mean that there is some sort of airflow restriction from the evaporator core, or the blower motor may be wearing out.
  • No air comes out of your AC vents: In each of the cases above if no air is coming out of the system, it may mean that extensive damage has occurred to the system that has completely blocked air flow, or that the moisture in the system has destroyed one of the key components to the system like the AC blower motor, the compressor, the evaporator or any of the hoses, seals or some other component.

We recommend that you consult your owner’s manual to see how often the manufacturer recommends AC Service before it leads to any of the problems listed above.
