Automotive AC Service and Repair

If you drive a car that has no A/C, you are about to experience an uncomfortable and sweaty ride. Having a properly working A/C in your car can keep you and other passengers cool and comfortable during the entire ride. The certified technicians at our repair shop are highly trained in A/C recharge and evacuation and can assess interior climate control issues.


The main function of the air conditioner in your car is to cool the air that is coming into your passenger compartment using 3 main parts: the condenser, evaporator, and compressor.

When you come to our auto repair shop, this first thing our technicians will do is to discuss the faulty A/C system symptoms with you. After that, they will perform a visual inspection of the air conditioning compressor drive belt, serpentine belt, and all other accessible components for damage, leaks or cracks. Then, they'll inspect the operation of the air conditioning compressor. They'll evacuate the refrigerant from the system if no damage or leaks are found, vacuum test it and recharge the A/C system with the help of an appropriate refrigerant that complies with your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.


Detecting damage or leaks to the A/C system of your vehicle sooner rather than later can save you both time and money, keeping you and everyone in your car cool and worry-free. Call us today or come to our auto repair shop and schedule an appointment with our technicians!


AC Recharge

When your A/C system does not cool the cabin properly, it might be time to recharge the system. It is frustrating, and uncomfortable when your air conditioning is inoperable on a hot day in Coopersville. Refrigerant is the liquid that runs through your A/C system cooling it down as it flows, to ultimately convert hot air into cool. Without this liquid, your air conditioner won’t be able to do its job. If you notice that it’s taking too long to cool down the cabin, an inspection or A/C recharge by the qualified team at Auto Source Of West Michigan may be necessary. Without enough refrigerant in the system, your A/C won’t be able to create cool air in the summer and might not be able to defrost in the winter. Your A/C is a closed system. A lack of refrigerant is a big sign that something is wrong. If ignored long enough, additional damage to the air conditioning system could occur. This is why it is important to contact Auto Source Of West Michigan at the first sign of AC trouble. From a safety standpoint, there is a minimal safety risk, but the air in the cabin can become uncomfortable. From an environmental point of view, there is significant impact because leaking refrigerant is poisonous and could be ingested by children, pets, and other animals. If your air conditioning system is in need of a recharge or inspection call Auto Source Of West Michigan in Coopersville, MI at 616-837-9447 today.


AC Compressor

Air conditioning is important here in Coopersville, MI. The AC compressor is considered the heart of the air conditioning system since it pumps compressed refrigerant throughout the entire system. It plays a critical role in a complex process, that makes sure that your car stays cool when you want it to. Operating your AC on a regular basis can help keep parts lubricated and running smoothly, but, if it takes too long to cool down the cabin, an inspection may be necessary. Ask your service advisor at Auto Source Of West Michigan to have your AC compressor checked if your AC is not cooling the way it should, or if there are odd smells. If the compressor fails, the rest of the system fails with it, and your car, truck, or SUV may not cool the car on a hot day or defrost the windows when cold since there’s no way to move the refrigerant through the system. If ignored long enough, you may need to replace the clutch or even the entire compressor. From a safety standpoint, there is a minimal safety risk to the driver or occupants of your vehicle, but the air in the cabin can become uncomfortable. Leaking refrigerant can be poisonous if ingested by children, pets, and other animals. If you believe your Air Conditioning compressor may need repair, call Auto Source Of West Michigan or schedule an appointment online today.
