A/C Repair Service for Your GMC Terrain

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my GMC Terrain?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know GMC vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2020 GMC. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your GMC Terrain

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2020 GMC Terrain 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 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 GMC Terrain A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Terrain A/C Recharge

While your 2020 GMC Terrain’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 GMC’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 all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2020 GMC Terrain A/C recharges.

Common GMC Terrain A/C Problems

Hot air is a common GMC Terrain A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2020 GMC Terrain? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Terrain — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2020 GMC Terrain A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Terrain 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 Terrain 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 Terrain’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 the A/C in my Terrain rely on gas? 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 Terrain.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my Terrain 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 Terrain creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my Terrain’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 Terrain’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
