Air Conditioning

Does the A/C blow only hot air from the vents? Does it blow cold sporadically? Are there loud noises when you run the A/C? Any of these symptoms may indicate the need for service or repairs to your vehicle's air conditioning system.

At Plaza Automotive Center, we have certified technicians who will perform a professional inspection of the system, providing you with a complete analysis of the current conditions and the estimated repair cost.

Plaza Automotive Center is a full-service air conditioning repair facility specializing in the following key services:

A/C Diagnostic and Repair
On a hot day, you want your car's A/C system to do one thing and that is to cool your vehicle's interior. If it doesn't, Plaza Automotive Center can help. Whether your vehicle needs a simple recharge, or a new compressor, we have the expertise to diagnose and perform any A/C service. Our standard A/C Performance Check service includes the following:

  • Visually inspect A/C components
  • Run performance test including
  • System state of charge test
  • System control test
  • Perform leak test using approved electronic leak detector
  • If a slow leak cannot be detected, a dye detection service may need to be sold and performed.
A/C Retrofit
Many vehicles on the road today use an older variety of refrigerant called R12 or Freon. Due to stricter environmental laws, this product is no longer manufactured. While the current supply of R12 is dwindling, the price is climbing. Plaza Automotive Center clients can convert to a new EPA-approved refrigerant called 134a. Most passenger vehicles manufactured after 1993 have the new 134a refrigerant.

Conversion to 134a is different for each vehicle, with many requiring the installation of a new compressor. At Plaza Automotive Center, we will provide an estimate for repair of the old system and an estimate to retrofit to 134a.
