Lexus Air Conditioning Repair Springifled MO

WHERE CAN I FIND A LEXUS AC REPAIR SERVICE CENTER NEAR ME?

Chores and errands can be tedious anytime, but if you don't have working air conditioning in your car during summer, they can be downright miserable. From leaks and cracks to mechanical malfunctions, your car's air conditioning can stop working, or stop working effectively, for a variety of reasons. Regardless of the underlying cause, however, simply ignoring the problem won't make it go away. In fact, it could easily make things worse. You might start out with a broken condenser or a cracked valve, for instance, but letting the problem go can wear out other parts in the air conditioning system, too. That means you can easily end up going from replacing one part to replacing multiple parts, and even the whole system! AC system problems can be difficult to diagnose, but knowing a few symptoms can help you get a sense of where the problem might be coming from.

HAVE YOU NOTICED A DROP IN THE AC SYSTEM'S PRESSURE OR FLUID ACCUMULATING UNDER THE CAR?

Every vehicle has a normal pressure range for the AC system. If the pressure drops below the minimum safe level, it probably means there's a leak somewhere. One of the most common, and most serious, types of leaks you can get is a refrigerant fluid leak. For starters, your AC system won't work at all if you have a leak that goes unattended. Leaking fluid can also seep into the engine, causing damage to both the engine and neighboring parts. Since refrigerant fluid is toxic, a leak can also cause environmental harm. Leaks may stem from a variety of sources, which can be difficult to trace without the assistance of a certified mechanic, like you'll find at Reliable Lexus. A mechanic can inject a UV-light dye into your vehicle to pinpoint the source of the leak. Leaks may start from a cracked seal, o-ring, valve, or even tiny holes in the condenser and compressor. Blockages and clogs somewhere in the AC system can also cause leaks, and ultimately a drop in pressure.

ARE THERE UNUSUAL NOISES OR ODORS WHEN THE AC SYSTEM IS TURNED ON?

You might notice strange sounds or smells when you turn the AC on. Broken components can clatter around when the system is turned on. Contaminated refrigerant fluid and a failing compressor can also cause unusual noises. If you smell a musty or moldy scent when you turn the air on, your car may be afflicted by "sick car" syndrome. Like you, your car can get infected with bacteria. If the AC system goes for a time without being used, micro-organisms may start to grow in the moist, damp system components. The bacteria will continue to grow if the system isn't thoroughly flushed, however, so if you notice a foul smell when you turn the air on, you should make an appointment for an AC system check as soon as possible.
