A/C Repair Service for Your Lexus GS450h

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 Lexus GS450h?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Lexus vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2013 Lexus. Steer your Lexus GS450h to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2013 Lexus GS450h A/C system to see if repair work is required. 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 Lexus GS450h A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

A/C Recharge for Lexus GS450h

While your 2013 Lexus GS450h’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Lexus's recommendations. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2013 Lexus GS450h A/C recharges.

Common Lexus GS450h A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Lexus GS450h 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 be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2013 Lexus GS450h? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your GS450h.

2013 Lexus GS450h A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my GS450h 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 GS450h 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 GS450h's A/C system.
  • Does my GS450h A/C use gas? GS450h 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.
  • Why does my GS450h have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your GS450h smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my GS450h’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your GS450h may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my GS450h’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing GS450h air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
