What's Included with A/C & Heating Service at Jim Whaley Tires
Every visit starts with a full system evaluation before any repair is recommended. Here's what we cover:
- System Inspection and Diagnosis We inspect the AC and heating system — checking pressures, electrical connections, belts, hoses, and controls — to identify what's actually causing the problem rather than working from assumptions.
- Refrigerant Level and Leak Check We check refrigerant level and test for leaks before recommending a recharge. A recharge without addressing a leak is a temporary fix — we confirm the system is intact first.
- Compressor and Component Evaluation We evaluate the compressor, condenser, and evaporator for wear or failure. If a component needs replacing, we explain the finding and the repair before anything is approved.
- Heater Core and Thermostat Check For heating concerns, we inspect the heater core, thermostat, coolant level, and blend door — all of which can affect cabin temperature and heat output.
- Blower Motor and Controls Test We test the blower motor, fan speeds, and climate control settings to confirm airflow and temperature response are working correctly across all settings.
- Clear Repair Recommendation Once diagnosis is complete, we walk you through what we found and what the repair involves. Nothing is done without your understanding and approval first.
