A/C Repair Service for Your Buick Skylark

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Buick Skylark A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Buick vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1991 Buick A/C systems. Steer your Buick Skylark to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1991 Buick Skylark 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.” 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 identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Skylark A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1991 Buick Skylark, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Buick guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1991 Buick Skylark A/C recharges.

Other Buick Skylark A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Buick Skylark A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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 1991 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.

Questions About 1991 Buick Skylark A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Skylark air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Skylark A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • 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 run on 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 does it mean if the A/C in my Skylark smells like vinegar? Moisture can accumulate on your vehicle’s A/C system components, creating the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. As this bacteria grows, it can cause the air conditioning system in your Skylark to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Skylark’s A/C to work? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Skylark is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
