SPICY LEMON AUTO — AC RECHARGE & CLIMATE DIAGNOSTICS

Stay cool under pressure. Whether your vents are blowing warm or your defrost isn’t cutting it, our team tackles compressors, blend doors, cabin filters, refrigerant leaks, and HVAC sensors with precision. We don’t just recharge the system — we diagnose the root cause and get your cabin feeling right again. From daily commutes to summer road trips, we bring the chill back — no guesswork, no shortcuts.

Services Included:

AC system recharges (R134a & 1234yf)
Compressor, condenser & evaporator replacement
Leak detection & refrigerant recovery
Blend door & actuator diagnostics
Cabin air filter replacement
HVAC sensor testing & calibration

AC PERFORMANCE INSPECTIONS

Every visit includes a full performance check of your vehicle’s air conditioning system — from refrigerant levels to compressor engagement and cabin vent output. We test for proper cooling, airflow direction, and system pressures to ensure your AC is running cold, efficient, and leak-free before you hit the road.

SYSTEM-SPECIFIC AC SERVICE PLANS

Not every car needs an AC recharge at the same time. Whether it’s a minor pressure drop, a faulty sensor, or a full system evac and recharge, we tailor each AC job to your vehicle’s exact specs and driving environment — no shortcuts, just chill performance dialed in to factory precision.

CABIN CLIMATE CONTROL

Your comfort rides on more than just cold air — it’s about balanced pressure, clean refrigerant, and a responsive system. From clogged expansion valves to weak compressors, we’ll diagnose and recharge your AC so it cools fast and runs right — keeping you chill no matter how hot the day gets.

A/C PERFORMANCE & REFRIGERANT HEALTH

Don’t wait for weak airflow or warm air at idle. We service AC systems end-to-end — recharging refrigerant, checking pressures, and diagnosing leaks or sensor faults — so your cabin stays ice cold, even in peak summer traffic.

A/C SYSTEM SERVICE & DIAGNOSTICS

Your comfort rides on a properly functioning AC system. We evacuate and recharge refrigerant, check for leaks, and test compressor function and sensor feedback — restoring cool airflow and cabin comfort with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What AC services do you offer at your auto repair shop?

We specialize in full-spectrum automotive air conditioning diagnostics and repair — from leak detection and recharging to compressor replacement, expansion valves, blend doors, and HVAC sensors. Whether your AC is weak, blowing hot, or not turning on at all, our certified techs get your system ice-cold again — the right way, the first time.

How often should I service my AC system?

We recommend having your AC system inspected annually — especially before summer hits. Refrigerant doesn’t get “used up,” but it can leak slowly over time. A full recharge is typically needed every 2–3 years, or sooner if you notice weak airflow, warm air, or strange noises. Catching issues early keeps the cabin cold and prevents compressor failure down the road.

How do I know if my AC system needs service?

Look out for weak airflow, warm air from the vents, odd smells, or strange noises when the AC’s on. If the cabin doesn’t cool like it used to, chances are something’s off — whether it’s low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or a blend door issue. We’ll run full diagnostics and get the chill back where it belongs.

What happens if I delay my AC services?

Delaying AC service won’t destroy your engine, but it can leave you sweating — and hiding a bigger issue. Refrigerant doesn’t get “used up,” so if your system’s low, there’s likely a leak. Left unchecked, that leak can lead to compressor failure, electrical faults, or moisture contamination inside the system. By the time the air goes warm, you might already be looking at major repairs. We recommend getting your AC checked early — it's not just about comfort, it's about protecting your components and staying cool under pressure.

How can I maintain my vehicle’s AC system between services?

Unlike oil or coolant, your AC system doesn’t need regular top-offs — but that doesn’t mean it’s set-and-forget. Here’s how to keep it working strong:

Turn it on regularly. Even in winter, run your AC for a few minutes every couple weeks. It keeps seals lubricated and prevents system dry-out.
Watch for performance drops. If it’s taking longer to cool or doesn’t feel as cold, it could be low on refrigerant or have a weak compressor.
Listen for odd noises. Clicking, hissing, or cycling on and off too often might be a sign of compressor strain or pressure imbalance.
Sniff test. A musty smell could mean mold or bacteria in the evaporator — something we can clean and sanitize.
Don’t DIY refrigerant cans. Overcharging can cause damage. If it’s not blowing cold, let us check pressures and leak test it properly.

Want to stay chill? Let our techs give your system a seasonal check — quick, accurate, and pressure-verified.
