A/C Service for Buick LaCrosse

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Buick LaCrosse A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Buick vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2017 Buick LaCrosse A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Buick LaCrosse

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2017 Buick LaCrosse A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. If any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Buick LaCrosse A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

LaCrosse A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Buick LaCrosse, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Buick’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2017 Buick LaCrosse A/C recharges.

Common Buick LaCrosse A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Buick LaCrosse A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2017 Buick LaCrosse? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your LaCrosse.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Buick LaCrosse A/C Systems

  • How do I make my LaCrosse air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • Why is my LaCrosse A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your LaCrosse’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Does my LaCrosse A/C run on gas? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your LaCrosse.
  • Why does my LaCrosse have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your LaCrosse smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my LaCrosse’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your LaCrosse’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
