Car air conditioning service
A/C cools poorly, does not work, or there is an unpleasant smell from the vents.

- The A/C works briefly and then stops cooling
- You hear unusual sounds after switching the A/C on
What we check
Diagnostics, recharge, disinfection and repair of the A/C system.
- Refrigerant amount in the A/C system
- System leak check
- A/C compressor operation
- Radiator and cabin blower fans
- Cabin filter
- Basic A/C control components
- Air temperature at the vents
Possible causes
- Too little refrigerant
- A leak in the A/C system
- Worn or clogged cabin filter
- A/C compressor issue
- Fan or sensor failure
- Dirty evaporator or air ducts
- Electrical or A/C control issue
When to contact the workshop
- When the A/C stopped cooling
- When it cools less than before
- When you smell dampness, mustiness or an unpleasant odour from the vents
- Before the summer season
- After a long break from using A/C
- When the car has been parked unused for a long time
What you can check before the visit
- Whether airflow works at different speeds
- Whether you hear the compressor after switching A/C on
- Whether the issue appears immediately or after a few minutes of driving
- When the cabin filter was last replaced
- Whether the A/C was serviced in the last year

Common questions
Is A/C recharge alone enough?↓
Not always. If the system leaks or has a damaged component, recharge will help only briefly. That is why we first check symptoms and system condition.
How often should A/C be serviced?↓
Ideally once a year, especially before summer. It is also worth replacing the cabin filter and disinfecting the system regularly.
Does an unpleasant smell from the vents mean a problem?↓
Yes, it often means moisture, dirt or bacterial and fungal growth in the airflow system. Cleaning and disinfection usually help.
Can I drive with faulty A/C?↓
You can, but the issue may get worse. A/C is not only for cooling; it also dries the air and helps clear fogged windows.
