How your quote is put together

Every repair is quoted after an honest inspection, and the quote is explained and approved by you before any work starts. A recharge alone costs far less than a leak or component repair, which is why we test before quoting. The refrigerant your vehicle uses, which part has failed and how hard it is to reach all play a part.

  • Your vehicle

    Make, model, year and engine determine which parts fit and how the repair has to be done.

  • Parts choice and availability

    OEM or quality aftermarket, and what is in stock. We explain the options and the difference between them.

  • Labor time for your vehicle

    The same repair can take far longer on one vehicle than another, depending on what has to come apart to reach it.

  • What the inspection finds

    Related wear, such as rotors worn along with pads, can change the scope. We tell you what is urgent and what can wait.

  • Urgency

    How quickly you need the vehicle back can affect parts sourcing and scheduling.

Common questions

Does my A/C just need a recharge?

Refrigerant is not used up like fuel. If the level is low, there is a leak somewhere. A recharge can bring the cold air back, but finding the leak tells you whether it will last.

Why does my A/C cool while driving but not at idle?

At idle there is less airflow across the condenser, so a weak cooling fan, a blocked condenser or a low charge often shows up first when you are stopped in traffic.

Why does my A/C smell musty?

Moisture on the evaporator can let mold or mildew grow, and a clogged cabin air filter or drain can make it worse. It is worth having checked, especially if water is collecting inside the car.

Related repairs

The A/C condenser sits right in front of the radiator and shares the cooling fans, so an A/C that only cools while driving can point to a fan problem we check alongside radiator & cooling system repair. The compressor clutch, blower motor and controls are electrical, so some A/C problems turn out to need car electrical repair.
