A/C Repair Service for Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser

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 take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C?” Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Oldsmobile vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C systems. Bring your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser 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.” A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Cutlass Cruiser A/C Recharge

While your 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Oldsmobile guidelines. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system 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 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C recharges.

Other Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser 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. 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. And smelly A/C in a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Cutlass Cruiser.

Questions About 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Cutlass Cruiser 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.
  • Why is my Cutlass Cruiser A/C blowing hot 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Cutlass Cruiser’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 the A/C in my Cutlass Cruiser use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Cutlass Cruiser 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.
  • Why does the A/C in my Cutlass Cruiser 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 Cruiser creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Cutlass Cruiser’s A/C to work? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Cutlass Cruiser may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
