A/C Repair Service for Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais

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. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We know Oldsmobile vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 1989 Oldsmobile A/C systems. Steer your Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais 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 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais A/C system to detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Cutlass Calais A/C Recharge

While your 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais’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 use Oldsmobile’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 ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais A/C recharges.

Common Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais A/C problem you may encounter. 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. And smelly A/C in a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. 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 Cutlass Calais — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Cutlass Calais 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.
  • What’s making my Cutlass Calais A/C put out warm 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Cutlass Calais’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  •  Does running the A/C in my Cutlass Calais use gasoline? Your Cutlass Calais’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 can cause the A/C in my Cutlass Calais to smell 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 Cutlass Calais creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my Cutlass Calais’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Cutlass Calais’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
