Regular AC Maintenance Will Help You Stay Cool

Your vehicle’s AC system can lose roughly five percent of the original efficiency every year without regular maintenance. You don’t wait until your AC is blowing warm air to have it serviced. Help keep your system in top condition with regular maintenance service from the AC professionals at Brake Max Tire & Service Centers.

AC Recharge

If your vehicle’s AC system is no longer cooling properly and/or refrigerant in your vehicle is low, it may be time for an AC recharge service. This periodic maintenance service involves putting new refrigerant into your AC system to enable it to start blowing cold air again.

During a truck or car AC recharge service, our technicians will start by checking the system for any leaks or damage. If no trouble is found that needs repairing first, we will evacuate (remove) the existing refrigerant. Then, the system will be vacuum tested and recharged using the best refrigerant for your vehicle.

In-Cabin/AC Filter Replacement

Your cabin/AC filter directly affects your vehicle AC system’s performance. If the cabin air filter is clogged, this will cause the blower motor to overwork, overheat, and result in early failure. A blocked airflow will also require you to turn your AC up higher, negatively affecting your vehicle’s fuel economy. We can replace your cabin AC filter and restore the AC system to its proper function.

What Is The Price Range For AC Repairs At BRAKEmax?

What Warning Signs Of AC Problems Can I Watch For?

If your AC system isn’t blowing cold air into the car, you should find out why. Here are some other warning signs that the AC system needs attention:

Moisture inside the passenger compartment
Unusual noises
Odors

The air conditioning systems in modern vehicles are complex and have many components that can fail. A professional should inspect your system to determine the cause of your AC problems.

How Do I “Recharge” An AC System?

A car AC recharge is done when the refrigerant in the AC system is low and needs to be refilled. This service is performed as needed, such as when the airflow is putting out less-than-cool air. Our mechanics at Oro Valley BRAKEmax will determine if a recharge is necessary, but first they will check for leaks. After any necessary repairs have been completed, a recharge will be done.

What Is the Job Of The AC Compressor?

The compressor moves the refrigerant through the system. It pressurizes the refrigerant that comes to it and liquifies that refrigerant before it enters the condenser.

Do Compressors Wear Out?

Over time, yes. A compressor that needs service will blow warm air or make grinding or squealing noises. Compressor parts can be repaired or replaced, but it is generally more economical to replace the entire compressor.

Check with a BRAKEmax technician if you have questions.

Is It Still Legal To Use Freon In An AC System?

Freon use is being phased out in the US. This refrigerant can no longer be manufactured in the United States, but consumers can still buy and use it until current supplies run out.

Can I Service My Own Car AC System?

It’s possible but not advisable. Correctly diagnosing a problem in an auto AC system is difficult. Repairing it yourself comes with a number of issues:

Freon or other refrigerants must be handled carefully
Knowledge of the electronics that control parts of the AC system is necessary
Your car’s warranty could be voided if you attempt any DIY repairs
Highly specialized tools are required

Can I Use a Kit to Do An AC Recharge?

Be careful! Every vehicle has a different capacity for coolant. The only way to know how much coolant to put in the system is to evacuate (drain) it. Also, overcharging and undercharging are both potential problems.
