"Component Failure” resulting in a lack of sufficient refrigerant to remove heat from the car is the most common failure and occurs in about 60% of all A/C failures. This is usually caused by a leak and your AZIZ Auto Repair technician can verify this by either using an electric leak detector or by injecting ultraviolet dye into the A/C system along with using an ultraviolet light.

“Electrical Problems” represent approximately 30% of A/C failures. This can cause the compressor and fans to stop. Electrical failures could be caused by a failed sensor or the on board automotive computer.

“Improper Refrigerant Charge” causes approximately 10% of A/C problems. Simply put, for a variety of reasons, the mixture of refrigerant to oil is out of balance. The best way to determine what is actually wrong with your system is to have a AZIZ Auto Repair technician perform a professional inspection with a written estimate.
