A/C Repair Service for Your Subaru WRX

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 lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Subaru WRX A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Subaru vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2023 Subaru WRX A/C systems. Bring your Subaru WRX to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2023 Subaru WRX 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. A “sniffer” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Subaru WRX A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If there's a leak, we'll find it and fix it.

WRX A/C Recharge

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2023 Subaru WRX, 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 Subaru guidelines. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant and once we’ve done a final test on the system ourselves, you’re all set. Our technicians know how to keep your A/C in tip-top shape with 2023 Subaru WRX A/C recharges.

Other Subaru WRX A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Subaru WRX A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Another common A/C problem is weak airflow, which could mean you have a compromised seal, mildew or mold buildup, a loose or damaged hose, or a ventilation fan that needs to be replaced. An A/C system that starts off blowing cold air but then turns warm can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. What about those (somewhat unpleasant!) smells coming through the A/C vents in your 2023 Subaru WRX? This can mean you have mold in your evaporator case, or it may indicate that it’s time to change your cabin air filter. Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your WRX — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 2023 Subaru WRX A/C Systems

  • How do I make my WRX air conditioning colder? Here are a few quick ideas. Shut the passenger air vents and point the other vents directly toward you. Park your car in the shade and use a window sun blocker. Then visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for an A/C performance check and recharge.
  • What’s making my WRX 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 causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your WRX’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does the A/C in my WRX rely on gas?  The air conditioning system in your WRX 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 WRX 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 WRX creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • What is causing my WRX’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your WRX may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
