Air Conditioning Service and Repair
In the Florida heat, there’s nothing worse than being stuck in traffic with a broken air conditioner. So, here is a guide to your next Panama City, FL Mazda service trip to maintain and repair your AC. To make sure you aren’t ever stuck in that situation, you can trust John Lee Mazda to keep you cool in the heat.
AC Testing
Regular maintenance and inspections are critical to catching and repairing problems before they arise.
When we service your air conditioning, we will test and inspect the entire system, including:
- Fans
- PSI pressure reading on the Freon level
- Temperature check
- Compressor, belt, and hoses inspection
- Fuses and wiring fault checks
AC Repairs
If you’re having AC issues, our team will identify the problem and get started on the repairs. If the issue is a broken part, you can rest assured that we use only genuine Mazda parts on all Mazda vehicles we service. This is important because many repair shops use lower-quality aftermarket parts that may not properly fit in your vehicle and may break down sooner than OEM parts.
AC Recharge Service
The most likely cause of AC problems, however, is not a faulty part. Depending on the age of your vehicle, it might just need an air conditioner recharge. This is where we add refrigerant to increase the pressure. Once the pressure meets the specifications, that usually fixes AC problems. We may also add dye to double-check for any system leaks. If we spot any, we can fix those at this stage.
How to Tell When You Need AC Repairs
Don’t wait until you are stuck on a Florida highway in the boiling summer weather without any AC to get a checkup. If, however, something does go wrong, here are the signs to look for:
- AC is not blowing air
- AC is not blowing cold air or slow to start
- Strange smells are coming from AC vents
- Liquid is leaking out of the dashboard
If you notice any of these, it’s time to get your AC serviced or repaired.
