A/C Repair Service for Your Subaru Impreza

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 take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Subaru Impreza A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Subaru vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2018 Subaru A/C systems. Bring your Subaru Impreza to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2018 Subaru Impreza A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. We’ll test overall system performance, check for any leaks, and measure the system pressure. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." A "sniffer" is a machine that's run along parts of your Subaru Impreza A/C system that can detect any refrigerant fumes that might be leaking out from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Impreza A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2018 Subaru Impreza, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Subaru’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system, 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 2018 Subaru Impreza A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Subaru Impreza A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Subaru Impreza A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could be caused by mold or mildew buildup, a loose hose, an old ventilation fan, or a compromised seal. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may be due to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2018 Subaru Impreza? 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 Impreza — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2018 Subaru Impreza A/C Systems

  • How can I make my Impreza 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 Impreza A/C blowing hot air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? 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 Impreza's A/C system.
  • Does my Impreza A/C run on gas?  The air conditioning system in your Impreza 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 Impreza have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? It’s easy for moisture to accumulate in your car’s air conditioning system, which can cause microorganisms like bacteria to grow. In turn, this bacteria growth can cause the A/C in your Impreza to produce a vinegary odor.
  • Why won’t my Impreza’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Impreza is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
