Air Conditioning Service & Repair

Car AC Repair

Being stuck in your vehicle for long commutes during the hot summer is never fun. If you leave your Car AC Repair and maintenance to the Portland car tune-up experts at Jay’s Garage, your vehicle’s air conditioning will always produce nice, cold air when needed.

Performance Check

As your vehicle ages, the fittings become loose, hoses and seals start to wear out, and O-rings start to degrade. These small gaps allow cold air to seep out of the system and produce warm air rather than the cold air you desperately seek when you turn on your AC.

Fluids may also run low, causing your AC to pump out warm air instead of refreshing cool air.

A performance check conducted by one of our ASE-certified technicians knowledgeable in car AC repair will test the power and efficiency of your air conditioning. This is done to help pinpoint the lack of efficiency in the vehicle’s air conditioning. A minor drop in performance often leads to low fluid levels, which need a simple recharge to restore your vehicle’s air conditioning power. Whether you have minor car AC repair needs or major auto service, call Jay’s Garage for all auto repair needs in Portland.

A/C Recharging

A recharge is recommended yearly or every other year. Freon, the coolant that produces cold air when you turn on your A/C, must be replaced. This is done by draining all of the current Freon in the system and replacing it with new Freon.

This is the “recharging” process.

We will go a step further by testing the A/C system pressure and temperature control. We will make all necessary adjustments to ensure that the pressure is in line with manufacturer recommendations and that the temperature control is as precise as possible.

Auto A/C Repair Services

Seals, hoses, O-rings, and other components of an air conditioner may wear over time and need to be replaced. Our technicians will conduct pressure tests to determine whether air is leaking out of the system and harming your air conditioner’s performance.

There’s a chance that your problem stems not from your car’s AC system but from your electrical system or your car battery. In this case, any work done on the AC unit will not yield any productive results.

At Jay’s Garage, we start by performing a complete unit diagnosis. Afterward, we repair all of the necessary components.

The following parts may also need to be replaced:

• Condensers
• Accumulators

Numerous internal parts of an air conditioner may need to be replaced. Through our pinpoint diagnostic procedure, we’ll determine what’s wrong with your system so timely repairs can be made.
