A/C Repair Service for Your Chevrolet Cobalt

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Chevrolet Cobalt?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2008 Chevrolet A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Chevrolet Cobalt

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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 Chevrolet Cobalt 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.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet Cobalt

Let's say we repair your 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt 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. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Chevrolet Cobalt A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Cobalt A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could indicate an old ventilation fan, a seal or hose that needs replacing, or mold buildup in your A/C system. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Cobalt’s A/C!

Questions About 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Cobalt 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 do I get hot air from my Cobalt 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? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Cobalt’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 Cobalt A/C powered by gas? Cobalt 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 can cause the A/C in my Cobalt to smell 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 Cobalt to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Cobalt’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 Cobalt is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
