A/C Repair Service for Your Lexus IS300

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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Lexus IS300 A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Lexus vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Lexus A/C systems. Bring your Lexus IS300 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2018 Lexus IS300 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 Lexus IS300 A/C system that can detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Lexus IS300

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Lexus IS300, 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 Lexus’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2018 Lexus IS300 A/C recharges.

Common Lexus IS300 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Lexus IS300 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2018 Lexus IS300? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your IS300.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Lexus IS300 A/C Systems

  • Can I make my IS300 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.
  • What’s making my IS300 A/C put out warm 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a 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 IS300's A/C system.
  •  Does running the A/C in my IS300 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 IS300.
  • What can cause the A/C in my IS300 to smell like vinegar? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your IS300 to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my IS300’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your IS300 may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my IS300’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing IS300 air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
