This service includes a system check to ensure your system is topped off with freon and an inspection of the a/c system to check for leaks. It is possible that a fully charged a/c system will not blow cold due to underlying issues that may result in additional services(fees). An A/c system in vehicles is composed of many parts that can go out, wear or break over time. Therefore, this service can not guarantee the a/c system will function properly.

Barbee Auto will visually inspect hoses, lines, seals and other components for leaks, check temperature readings, check that your compressor is operating properly and inspect the drive belt for cracks or damage. You may simply need a recharge of the refrigerant or the inspection could call for other service, like a new compressor. Plus, your air conditioning belt drives many other components in your vehicle, meaning a broken belt can have a much worse impact than simply an uncomfortable trip
