A/C Repair Service for Your Lexus LC500

There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Is that a hot stove? Nope, just your steering wheel. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Lexus LC500 A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Lexus vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2018 Lexus. Bring your Lexus LC500 to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Lexus LC500’s 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 Lexus LC500 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 LC500

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Lexus LC500, 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. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2018 Lexus LC500 A/C recharges.

Other Lexus LC500 A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Lexus LC500 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 LC500? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your LC500.

2018 Lexus LC500 A/C System FAQs

  • Can I make my LC500 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.
  • Why is my LC500 A/C blowing hot 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.
  • 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 LC500's A/C system.
  •  Does the A/C in my LC500 use gas? Your LC500’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.
  • My LC500’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If the air conditioning in your LC500 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 LC500’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your LC500’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
