A/C Repair Service for Your Mazda MX-5 Miata

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. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Mazda vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C systems. Bring your Mazda MX-5 Miata to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata’s 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 any signs point to a possible leak, we’ll send a special U/V dye through the system, or use something called a “sniffer.” What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Mazda MX-5 Miata 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.

MX-5 Miata A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Mazda guidelines. 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 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C recharges.

Other Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also 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. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your MX-5 Miata.

Questions About 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata A/C Systems

  • Can I make my MX-5 Miata air conditioner colder? Park in the shade whenever you can, and use a reflective sunshade in the windshield when you’re parked. If you’re the only one in the car, close all the vents except the ones that point toward you. Give the system the final boost it needs with an A/C performance check and recharge from Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What’s making my MX-5 Miata 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.
  • 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 MX-5 Miata's A/C system.
  • Does my MX-5 Miata A/C use gas? Your MX-5 Miata’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.
  • What does it mean if the A/C in my MX-5 Miata 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 MX-5 Miata creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my MX-5 Miata’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 MX-5 Miata’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my MX-5 Miata’s A/C repaired? When you need your MX-5 Miata air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
