A/C Repair Service for Your Chevrolet Cavalier

When you get in the car on a hot summer day, the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chevrolet Cavalier?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1989 Chevrolet A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Cavalier to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier 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. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Chevrolet Cavalier A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Cavalier A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier 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 use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, 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 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Cavalier A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Chevrolet Cavalier A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Cavalier’s A/C!

1989 Chevrolet Cavalier A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Cavalier 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.
  • What’s making my Cavalier 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Cavalier’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Cavalier A/C run on gas? Your Cavalier’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • My Cavalier’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your Cavalier 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 Cavalier’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? Damaged or worn components in your Cavalier’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.
  • Where can I get my Cavalier’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Cavalier air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
