Here are some answers to your most asked questions about car A/C & Heating repair.
We’ll never perform work without your approval. If you decline a service, we’ll explain the risks and let you make the final call.
Yes. Using your A/C slightly increases engine load and fuel use. For gas vehicles, it’s like driving 1–2 extra miles every 15 minutes. For EVs, it can reduce range by 5–10%.
We recommend replacing it every 12,000 to 15,000 miles—or sooner if you notice reduced airflow or smells.
Until your A/C is repaired, park in the shade, use sunshades, crack windows slightly (for security), and run the fan while driving to keep air moving.
Basic services can take under an hour. More complex repairs, like a compressor replacement, may take several hours or a full day. Schedule ahead for convenience.
Costs can vary widely depending on the issue. The best way to get an accurate quote is to bring your car in for an inspection.
