Stay cool on the road with expert car A/C inspections, repairs, and recharges from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
Whether your A/C needs a simple recharge or a comprehensive repair, we offer the services you need to stay cool and comfortable. Our trained technicians work with all makes and models to help restore your vehicle’s air conditioning system.
If your A/C isn’t blowing cold air, a system recharge can restore performance by refilling refrigerant and optimizing pressure levels.
We check refrigerant levels and replace low or contaminated refrigerant using the type specified by your vehicle’s manufacturer.
From leaks and failing compressors to faulty fans, we diagnose and repair a wide range of A/C system issues quickly and efficiently.
Safety Note: Low refrigerant can cause costly compressor damage. Schedule service promptly if cooling weakens significantly. In electric and hybrid vehicles, the air conditioning system could also be important to the life of the high-voltage battery.
Pro Tip: Regularly replacing cabin air filters per the manufacturer’s recommendations is crucial for peak A/C performance, improved air quality, and system longevity.
When the heat hits, a properly working car A/C system isn’t just a comfort—it’s a must. Over time, A/C components like seals, hoses, and fittings can wear down or loosen, leading to reduced cooling power or system leaks. That’s where Firestone Complete Auto Care comes in. Our A/C performance check, which is often on promotion during summer months, helps keep your system running at its best. A certified technician will:
Whether you're dealing with weak airflow or no cooling at all, we’ll help you get back to driving in comfort—without the sweat.
Do any of these signs seem familiar? Schedule an A/C performance check and other maintenance or diagnostic services at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have a professional diagnose and resolve your vehicle's air conditioning problems.
When your vehicle's air conditioning isn't working or is on its way out, you can look for these three signs that something might be wrong with your car’s A/C.
Hot air coming from your A/C likely could mean there’s a major problem. When moisture gets into your A/C, it combines with refrigerant and creates a highly corrosive acid that literally eats away at the parts of your A/C system. This acid can ruin rubber seals that prevent the refrigerant from leaking. If the refrigerant leaks, it can cut back on your A/C’s cooling power.
A funky smell coming from your A/C may mean it's time for some attention. If your A/C is blasting a weird smell in your face, it could mean mold—and, therefore, water—is present. The culprit might be a damp or dirty cabin air filter, a leaking evaporator, or a blocked drain in your evaporator case.
Excess moisture in the evaporator case could cause the building of mold and other debris that block airflow into the interior of your car. A loss of air pressure may also signal that there’s a restriction in the evaporator case or the blower motor is failing.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we're familiar with your manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule to help keep your vehicle better maintained and on the road longer. While we recommend bringing your vehicle in according to the manufacturer's suggestions, it’s usually recommended that your car’s A/C system is thoroughly inspected at least once a year. If anything seems out of the ordinary with the A/C between routine maintenance appointments, you should get it checked out.
