Heating and A/C · Dearborn, MI

Heating and A/C in Dearborn, MI

AutoTech Clinic repairs car heating and air conditioning at 24100 Michigan Ave in Dearborn, from no heat in January to a system that blows warm in July. We test pressures, temperatures and controls to find the actual fault rather than adding refrigerant and sending you on your way.

Heat and air conditioning share the same ductwork, the same blower motor and the same blend doors, so a fault in one often shows up in the other. We test the whole climate system together.

Why is my car heater blowing cold air?

The most common causes are low coolant, a thermostat stuck open, a plugged heater core or a blend door that is not moving. We check the coolant level and the thermostat first because those are the cheapest and most common.

Do you do A/C recharges?

We do, but only after we find and fix the leak. Refrigerant does not get used up, so a system that is low has a leak somewhere. Recharging without repairing it means you pay again in a few months.

Can you service R-1234yf systems?

Yes. We handle both R-134a and the newer R-1234yf refrigerant used on most vehicles built since around 2015. They need separate equipment and are not interchangeable.

How long does A/C repair take?

A leak test and a recharge is usually a same day job. Compressor and condenser replacement is often same day too. A heater core or evaporator means removing the dashboard, which takes considerably longer.

Why does my car smell musty when I turn on the air?

Moisture collects on the evaporator and lets mold grow in the case. A cabin air filter replacement and an evaporator treatment usually clears it. If the smell is sweet rather than musty, that points at a leaking heater core instead.

Should I get the A/C checked before summer?

Yes, and spring is the ideal time. A system that is slightly low in April will be blowing warm in July, and finding a small leak early is cheaper than replacing a compressor that ran without enough oil.
