A/C Service for GMC Savana 3500

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 lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my GMC Savana 3500 A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know GMC vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2006 GMC A/C systems. Steer your GMC Savana 3500 to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2006 GMC Savana 3500’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a 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.” A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your GMC Savana 3500 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Recharge the A/C in Your Savana 3500

Let's say we repair your 2006 GMC Savana 3500 A/C system. We will also perform 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to GMC's recommendations. 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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2006 GMC Savana 3500 A/C recharges.

Common GMC Savana 3500 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only GMC Savana 3500 A/C problem you may encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. And smelly A/C in a 2006 GMC Savana 3500?

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 Savana 3500’s A/C!

Questions About 2006 GMC Savana 3500 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Savana 3500 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.
  • Why is my Savana 3500 A/C blowing hot 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Savana 3500’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.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Savana 3500 use gasoline? While your vehicle’s A/C system doesn’t directly use fuel, it does draw power from the engine, which can impact the fuel consumption of your Savana 3500.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Savana 3500 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 Savana 3500 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Savana 3500’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Savana 3500 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Savana 3500’s A/C repaired? When you need your Savana 3500 air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
