A/C Repair Service for Your Lexus GS450h

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Lexus GS450h A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Lexus vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2011 Lexus A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Lexus GS450h

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2011 Lexus GS450h 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.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Lexus GS450h A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

GS450h A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2011 Lexus GS450h, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Lexus's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2011 Lexus GS450h A/C recharges.

Common Lexus GS450h A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Lexus GS450h A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2011 Lexus GS450h? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your GS450h’s A/C!

2011 Lexus GS450h A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my GS450h air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my GS450h 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? 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 GS450h's A/C system.
  • Does my GS450h A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your GS450h 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.
  • Why does my GS450h have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? 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 GS450h to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my GS450h’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 GS450h is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
