Every ride in your car should be a comfortable one, and a functioning air conditioner and heater is key. At Tires Plus, our trusted technicians will make sure your A/C and heating are running optimally so that you’re not sweating or freezing your way from Point A to Point B! Stay comfortable while you drive with dependable auto heating and air conditioning. You can trust the experts at Tires Plus to handle your heating and A/C repair needs.
Sometimes it’s obvious that you should schedule an appointment, like if you’ve turned your car’s A/C on but it still feels like a sauna in your vehicle. Or if you turned your car’s heater on ten minutes ago and you’re still shivering. Other times, the warning signs might not be so clear. So, when should you book an appointment?
Surprisingly your car’s air conditioning system doesn’t push out cool air, it works by removing heat and humidity to control the temperature in the cabin of your vehicle. Then all that remains is refreshing, cool air. Your A/C does this by cycling refrigerant to absorb the heat. And as you’ve probably noticed on hot summer days, you need to have the car’s engine running because it uses fuel to power the vehicle’s A/C.

Have you noticed that your car A/C is blowing hot air? Many parts of your car rely on consistent temperature management, and when that goes awry your car will overheat. Overheating can be caused by anything from a cooling system failure, radiator problems or bad thermostat to parts malfunctions like bad hoses, low oil, or failing water pumps. At Tires Plus, we can help diagnose why your car is overheating.

Like all car repairs, A/C and heating service can range in cost. Smaller fixes including inspections, coolant exchanges, or repairing leaks can cost somewhere in the lower hundreds but you should expect larger expenses like a car A/C compressor replacement cost to be higher. At Tires Plus we recommend you ask one of our auto technicians for a quote to get an accurate cost estimate for heating or car A/C repair near you.
