Understanding Your Car’s Air Conditioning System
Your car’s air conditioning system is a complex network of components that work together to provide cool air and maintain a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle.
The system consists of several key parts, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve.
The compressor compresses the refrigerant, which is then cooled by the condenser and expanded by the expansion valve. The evaporator then cools the air, which is blown into the cabin through the vents.

Causes of AC System Failure
There are several common causes of AC system failure, including refrigerant leaks, clogged air filters, faulty compressors, and malfunctioning thermostats. Refrigerant leaks can occur due to worn-out seals, damaged hoses, or corrosion, leading to a loss of cooling efficiency.
Clogged air filters can reduce airflow and cause the system to work harder, resulting in increased wear and tear. Faulty compressors may fail to compress the refrigerant properly, while malfunctioning thermostats can prevent the system from cooling effectively.
We’ll identify any issues within the system and our detailed quotes will show you exactly what is wrong with your vehicle.
Five Indicators Your Car's AC Needs Attention
- Insufficient cooling in the cabin
- Unusual noises, such as grinding or squealing, when the AC is in operation
- Foul Odors coming from the air vents
- Water pooling inside the vehicle
- Weak or warm airflow coming from the vents
Customer Reviews
"I had an excellent experience at Southwest Auto. It’s been very hard to find a mechanic to work on my old Saab, so I found Jon. He did a thorough diagnostic, emailed me the results, and had me approve the work. It took some time to source parts, but Jon Came through. My car not only made the 200+ mile ride home, it’s running great. Very thankful his shop was recommended."
David Dalrymple
"I highly recommend Southwest auto for your vehicle repair. Recently, they handled my transmission leak on a 3500 Mercedes Diesel Sprinter Van/Camper. They were efficient, fairly priced, and Cory at the front desk was very communicative during the repair process. They handled the warrantee coverage for me and got me back on the road quickly. I cannot say enough how pleased I was with the service they provided."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How to tell if your car AC needs freon?
The most likely sign of your car's AC needing Freon is warm air instead of cold air blowing from the vents. However, this isn't always the case. Warm air could be blowing due to other reasons, so it's best not to immediately think your vehicle needs Freon and get a professional opinion.
-
Why is my car AC blowing cool but not cold?
There are several potential reasons why your vehicle's AC system may be blowing cool but not cold air. Some common causes are low refrigerant, clogged or dirty condenser, a faulty compressor, issues with the expansion valve, blower motor problems, faulty wiring, or a problem with the thermostat.
Book an appointment and we’ll diagnose what’s wrong and provide a repair estimate.
-
Is it worth replacing the AC in a car?
Before you decide to replace the AC in your car, consider the vehicle's age and condition. Then compare the replacement cost versus your car's market value and how often you use the AC.
We can certainly provide a professional diagnosis to determine if a full replacement or a repair is needed.
-
What is the life expectancy of a car air conditioner?
The life expectancy of a car air conditioner typically ranges from 8 to 12 years, depending on the use and how often you perform preventive maintenance.
-
Can I have my car running while adding Freon?
Yes, you will want to have your car running while adding Freon. This ensures that the compressor is engaged, allowing the refrigerant to circulate properly through the system.
