A/C Repair Service for Your Cadillac Escalade EXT

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Cadillac vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2012 Cadillac A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Cadillac Escalade EXT

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT’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 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 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Cadillac Escalade EXT

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT, 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 use Cadillac’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 all set. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C recharges.

Common Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Cadillac Escalade EXT 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 2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. 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 Escalade EXT.

2012 Cadillac Escalade EXT A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Escalade EXT 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 do I get hot air from my Escalade EXT A/C? 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.
  • 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 Escalade EXT's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my Escalade EXT use gas? Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT 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 Escalade EXT to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Escalade EXT’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 Escalade EXT is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
