A/C Repair Service for Your Lexus RC350

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 wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Lexus RC350?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Lexus vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2017 Lexus. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Lexus RC350

In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2017 Lexus RC350 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 suspect a leak, we’ll send a U/V dye through your A/C system or use a “sniffer” to find the leak. What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Lexus RC350 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

RC350 A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2017 Lexus RC350, 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 we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2017 Lexus RC350 A/C recharges.

Common Lexus RC350 A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Lexus RC350 A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm 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 2017 Lexus RC350? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your RC350 — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2017 Lexus RC350 A/C Systems

  • How can I make my RC350 air conditioner 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.
  • Why is my RC350 A/C blowing hot 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 causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your RC350’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my RC350 A/C powered by gas? 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 RC350.
  • My RC350’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? If a vinegar-like odor comes from your A/C, bacteria growth could be the culprit. Moisture accumulation in the air conditioning system of your RC350 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my RC350’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 RC350 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
