A/C Repair Service for Your Buick Somerset Regal

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. “Who can fix my Buick Somerset Regal A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Buick vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1985 Buick Somerset Regal A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Buick Somerset Regal

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Buick Somerset Regal A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Somerset Regal A/C Recharge

While your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Buick's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1985 Buick Somerset Regal A/C recharges.

Common Buick Somerset Regal A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Buick Somerset Regal A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 1985 Buick Somerset Regal? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Somerset Regal — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 1985 Buick Somerset Regal A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Somerset Regal 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.
  • Why is my Somerset Regal A/C blowing hot 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 Somerset Regal's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Somerset Regal use gasoline?  The air conditioning system in your Somerset Regal does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • Why does the A/C in my Somerset Regal smell like vinegar? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your Somerset Regal creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Somerset Regal’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your Somerset Regal’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
