A/C Repair Service for Your Pontiac Solstice

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like lava. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. You wipe your brow and wonder, "Who can fix the A/C in my Pontiac Solstice?" Firestone Complete Auto Care can! We’ve got experience with Pontiac vehicles, and our qualified technicians can diagnose and service the A/C system in your 2008 Pontiac. Bring your Pontiac Solstice to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2008 Pontiac Solstice 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" is a machine that's run along parts of your Pontiac Solstice A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

A/C Recharge for Pontiac Solstice

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2008 Pontiac Solstice, 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 Pontiac’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, and after one final test to be sure the system is cooling properly, you're ready to get back on the road. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 2008 Pontiac Solstice A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Pontiac Solstice A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Pontiac Solstice 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. If you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 2008 Pontiac Solstice? 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. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Solstice’s A/C!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2008 Pontiac Solstice A/C Systems

  • Can I make my Solstice 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 Solstice 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Solstice’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 Solstice use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Solstice 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 my Solstice have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Solstice smells like vinegar, it could be due to bacteria growth on system components such as the evaporator and heater cores. Bacteria can grow when moisture accumulates on air conditioning system components, providing a breeding ground for microorganisms.
  • Why won’t my Solstice’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Solstice’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
