Chill out. Our technicians are trained to inspect and repair 2011 Mazda RX-8 A/C systems. Stop by today to enjoy some free air conditioning and an A/C performance check.
There’s nothing worse than cranking your car air conditioner on a hot day — and discovering it’s broken. Your steering wheel feels like lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Mazda RX-8?" Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Mazda vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2011 Mazda. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Mazda RX-8
During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2011 Mazda RX-8 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 Mazda RX-8 A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.
While your 2011 Mazda RX-8’s air conditioner is being serviced, 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2011 Mazda RX-8 A/C recharges.
You may think warm air is the only potential Mazda RX-8 A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Other common A/C problems include 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. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2011 Mazda RX-8? 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 RX-8 — without all the sweat puddles!
