If you drive a car that has no A/C in Victoria, BC, 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 Anderson Precision AutoPro in Victoria, BC are highly trained in A/C recharge and evacuation and can assess interior climate control issues.  We can work on R134a and R1234Y A/C systems.

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.  Some people think it's fine to ignore a non-functioning A/C system and convince themselves "I don't need A/C, I can just roll my window down".  The problem with that approach is that if one part is faulty or not working, it can cause damage to other components, both in your A/C system, as well as your engine or other accessories.  For example, a seized A/C Compressor can cause a belt to break, which may be operating your alternator as well.  No belt means your alternator is no longer charging your battery.

When you come to Anderson Precision AutoPro in Victoria, BC, the 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.
