SIGNS YOUR CAR HEATER NEEDS HELP

If you turned your car’s heater on ten minutes ago and you’re still shivering, that’s your first sign that something might be wrong. However, a few less obvious signs can also warn you that your heater is on thin ice. Your car heater may need service if:

  • There’s an unpleasant or foreign smell coming from the heater vents
  • The windshield and/or windows are fogging up
  • You can see antifreeze leaking in your car’s interior (check the passenger side floor!)
  • Your car suddenly needs a ton of coolant

Noticing the signs of a failing heater before it actually breaks down can save you from a freezing commute and costly repair bill. If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to get your car's heater looked at.

A/C REPAIR FAQ's

  • Q : WHY IS MY A/C NOT BLOWING AIR?

    A. There’s nothing more frustrating than weak air flow on a hot summer’s day! Unfortunately, there’s no easy diagnosis here; insufficient air flow could stem from a number of possible problems. For example, it might be an instance of mold or mildew building up in the evaporator core. It could also be a loose hose, a bad ventilation fan, or blown seals. A qualified mechanic can isolate the root of your A/C problems.

  • Q : WHY IS MY CAR A/C BLOWING OUT WARM AIR?

    A. Warm air coming from your A/C is never a good sign. There could be a number of potential factors here, such as a clogged expansion valve; a faulty compressor clutch; a blown fuse; or even leaks within the A/C. The only way to know for sure what’s causing that warm air is to take your car to a qualified inspection for an appraisal.

  • Q : WHAT CAUSES AN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM LEAK?

    A. A leak in your A/C is bad news, without question—but what causes it? 


    The short answer : age and moisture. Over time, the rubber hoses and seals in your A/C lose elasticity and allow Freon to escape, all while allowing moisture to enter. 


    When moisture mixes with your A/C’s refrigerant, it creates a corrosive acid, which destroys your A/C from the inside out. This is definitely something to have analyzed and repaired by a trained mechanic.

  • Q : HOW DO YOU TEST FOR AN A/C SYSTEM LEAK?

    If you think your A/C has a leak, there are a couple of methods you can choose to help detect leaks. One option is to use black light-enabled dyes; many refrigerants are mixed with UV dyes, which allow them to show up under a black light. There’s also the “sniffer,” a special device that can zero in on the refrigerant’s chemical compounds and detect possible leaks. Ask your service technician about these options!

  • Q : HOW DO I STOP THE BAD SMELLS COMING FROM MY A/C VENTS?

    A. Nobody likes an A/C that emanates bad smells! There are a couple of possible causes of A/C odors, the first being dirty, old air in the cabin filter. The second is an evaporator case that’s developed mold, which could point to more systematic problems with your unit.

CLIENT REVIEW

These guys are the best. Took a nail out of my tire and plugged it up for only $20, and very graciously didn’t charge me extra, even though I accidentally told them the wrong tire so they wasted 45 min looking for the nail 😭🙏 …
