A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac ATS

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Cadillac ATS?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Cadillac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2016 Cadillac. Bring your Cadillac ATS to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2016 Cadillac ATS’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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 Cadillac ATS A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

ATS A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 2016 Cadillac ATS A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Cadillac guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, 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 2016 Cadillac ATS A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Cadillac ATS A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Cadillac ATS A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. 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 2016 Cadillac ATS? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your ATS — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2016 Cadillac ATS A/C Systems

  • Can I make my ATS 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 ATS A/C put out warm 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 ATS’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.
  • Is my ATS A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your ATS 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.
  • My ATS’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your ATS 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 ATS’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your ATS may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
