A/C Service for Hyundai Tucson

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Hyundai Tucson?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know our way around Hyundai vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2012 Hyundai Tucson A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Hyundai Tucson

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2012 Hyundai Tucson A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and 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 Hyundai Tucson A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

Tucson A/C Recharge

While your 2012 Hyundai Tucson’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do 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). Then, they’ll use Hyundai’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. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2012 Hyundai Tucson A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Hyundai Tucson A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Hyundai Tucson A/C problem you may encounter. Typical A/C problems also 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. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2012 Hyundai Tucson? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. 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 Tucson — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2012 Hyundai Tucson A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Tucson air conditioner 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 Tucson 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.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Tucson's A/C system.
  • Is my Tucson A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your Tucson does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Tucson 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 Tucson to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why won’t my Tucson’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Tucson’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.
