A/C Service for Suzuki Grand Vitara

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 Suzuki Grand Vitara?" Firestone Complete Auto Care — that’s who! We’ve got experience with Suzuki vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Suzuki Grand Vitara

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C system that can identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

A/C Recharge for Suzuki Grand Vitara

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 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 perform an evacuation (also known as a discharge) on the entire system per Suzuki guidelines. 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. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C recharges.

Troubleshooting Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. 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 your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this may suggest a leak, a blown fuse, or a damaged compressor clutch. Are you breathing in some “interesting” new odors in your 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara? That could be the result of a dirty cabin air filter (an easy fix!) or a moldy evaporator case. Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your A/C problems. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Grand Vitara — without all the sweat puddles!

Questions About 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Grand Vitara 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 Grand Vitara 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Grand Vitara’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 Grand Vitara use gasoline? Your Grand Vitara’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.
  • Why does my Grand Vitara have a vinegary smell coming from the A/C? If the air conditioning in your Grand Vitara 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 does my Grand Vitara’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your Grand Vitara may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.
  • Where can I get my Grand Vitara’s A/C repaired? When you need your Grand Vitara air conditioning system repaired or inspected, trust Firestone Complete Auto Care. Schedule an appointment at our A/C repair shop near you.
