A/C Service for Lexus IS300

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. 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?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know our way around Lexus vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2021 Lexus IS300 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 2021 Lexus IS300 A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Lexus IS300 A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

IS300 A/C Recharge

While your 2021 Lexus IS300’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 Lexus’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re all set. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2021 Lexus IS300 A/C recharges.

Common Lexus IS300 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Lexus IS300 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Other common A/C problems 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 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 2021 Lexus IS300? 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 IS300 — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2021 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? 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 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 IS300's A/C system.
  • Does my IS300 A/C run on gas? Your IS300’s A/C uses some power from the engine to run. So, while your air conditioning system may not directly use gasoline as a fuel source, using the A/C can indirectly affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
  • Why does my IS300 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 IS300 to have a vinegar-like smell.
  • Why does my IS300’s A/C only work when the car is moving? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your IS300’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • 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.
