A/C Repair Service for Your Mazda CX-9

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 wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mazda CX-9?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Mazda vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2008 Mazda. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mazda CX-9

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2008 Mazda CX-9 A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. 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. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Mazda CX-9 A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

CX-9 A/C Recharge

While your 2008 Mazda CX-9’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mazda guidelines. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you're ready to get back on the road. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2008 Mazda CX-9 A/C recharges.

Other Mazda CX-9 A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Mazda CX-9 A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. 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. And smelly A/C in a 2008 Mazda CX-9? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your CX-9’s A/C!

Questions About 2008 Mazda CX-9 A/C Systems

  • How do I make my CX-9 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.
  • Why is my CX-9 A/C blowing hot 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? 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 CX-9’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Is my CX-9 A/C powered by gas?  The air conditioning system in your CX-9 does not use gasoline directly as a fuel source, but it does require some power from the engine, which indirectly affects your car's fuel consumption.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my CX-9 smells like vinegar? 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 CX-9 creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my CX-9’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your CX-9’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
