South Texas summers are brutal. When your car's AC stops working, it's not just uncomfortable - it's unsafe. ARM Auto Repair fixes AC problems fast so you can stay cool.

Signs Your AC Needs Repair

• Blowing warm air - not cooling at all
• Weak airflow - barely coming out of vents
• Strange smells - musty or burning odors
• Unusual noises - clicking, hissing, or rattling
• AC clutch not engaging - compressor not turning on
• Only works on high - lower speeds don't work
• Water leaking inside - condensation drain clogged

Why Did My AC Stop Working?

Common AC problems in South Texas:

Low Refrigerant (Leak)

The most common cause. AC systems don't "use up" refrigerant - if it's low, there's a leak somewhere. We find and fix the leak, then recharge the system.

Failed Compressor

The compressor pumps refrigerant through the system. When it fails, AC stops working. Texas heat is hard on compressors.

Electrical Problems

Sensors, relays, fuses, or wiring issues can prevent the AC from turning on.

Clogged or Leaking Condenser

The condenser (looks like a radiator) releases heat. Road debris, corrosion, or leaks cause failures.

How Much Does AC Repair Cost?

AC repair costs vary widely:

• Simple recharge: Least expensive (but only if there's no leak)
• Leak repair: Depends on location
• Component replacement: Compressor, condenser, etc. - moderate to expensive
• Complete system overhaul: Most expensive

We diagnose first, then provide a clear estimate. Sometimes a simple fix is all you need.

Can I Just Add Refrigerant Myself?

Those DIY AC recharge kits at the store might work temporarily, but:

• If there's a leak, you're just wasting money (it'll leak out again)
• Overcharging damages the system
• You won't fix the underlying problem
• You might violate EPA regulations

Professional diagnosis and repair fixes it right the first time.

Keep Your AC Running Strong

Preventive maintenance tips:

• Run your AC at least once a week, even in winter (keeps seals lubricated)
• Replace cabin air filter annually
• Park in shade when possible
• Use sunshades to keep interior cooler
• Get AC performance check before summer
