A/C Service for Buick Skylark

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Buick Skylark A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Buick vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1987 Buick A/C systems. Bring your Buick Skylark to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1987 Buick Skylark A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Buick Skylark A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Skylark

Let's say we repair your 1987 Buick Skylark A/C system. We will also perform 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Buick guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1987 Buick Skylark A/C recharges.

Common Buick Skylark A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Buick Skylark A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1987 Buick Skylark? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Skylark.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1987 Buick Skylark A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Skylark air conditioner 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.
  • What’s making my Skylark A/C put out warm air? An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Skylark's A/C system.
  • Does my Skylark A/C use gas? Skylark air conditioning systems don’t use gasoline as a direct fuel source. However, they do rely on engine power, which can indirectly affect your vehicle’s gas mileage.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Skylark to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Skylark to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Skylark’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Skylark may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Skylark’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Skylark air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
