A/C Service for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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 Silverado 1500?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We know Chevrolet vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2006 Chevrolet A/C systems. Bring your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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." A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Chevrolet Silverado 1500 A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While your 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Chevrolet’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, 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 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 A/C recharges.

Common Chevrolet Silverado 1500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Chevrolet Silverado 1500 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm 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 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Silverado 1500.

Questions About 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Silverado 1500 air conditioning colder? For starters, use a sun-blocking shade in the windshield while you’re parked, or look for a shady parking spot. Closing all the passenger vents in your car can help redirect cold air toward you, cooling you off faster. Still need more chill? Head to Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my Silverado 1500 A/C put out warm air? 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? 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 Silverado 1500’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Silverado 1500 A/C run on gas? Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500 smells 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 Silverado 1500 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Silverado 1500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Silverado 1500’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
