Signs Your Vehicle AC System Needs Attention:

Warm or Hot Air Blowing on Cold Setting:

Sign: Your AC blows hot or warm air instead of cool air.

Schedule an AC inspection to identify and address the issue. Your air conditioning compressor may be malfunctioning, have a leak, or need recharging and refrigerant.

Weak AC Airflow:

Sign: Reduced or weak airflow from the vents.

Your AC blower motor may be malfunctioning or need replacement. A motor that is weak on any temperature often points to the motor as the issue. Let Service Street Tire & Auto Repair diagnose the problem and provide car AC repair to restore optimal airflow and cooling.

Unpleasant Odors:

Sign: Foul or musty smells when the AC is running.

A thorough AC system cleaning can eliminate unpleasant odors. Additionally, replacing your cabin air filter can help.

Strange Noises:

Sign: Unusual sounds, such as squealing or grinding, or screeching when the AC is on.

The culprit can be a clogged filter or blocked vent. High pitched whistling sounds often indicate a clogged evaporator core. It could also be an issue with belts in your engine and completely unrelated to your AC. Immediate inspection to identify the issue and prevent potential AC system failures, or other engine problems.
