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 lava. That puddle in the driver’s seat? Sweat. Ugh. “Who can fix my Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Suzuki vehicles, and our trained technicians can identify and repair issues with 2012 Suzuki A/C systems. Steer your Suzuki Grand Vitara to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test. If we think there might be a leak, we'll run a special U/V dye through the system or use a "sniffer." What’s a “sniffer,” you ask? It’s a specially designed machine that’s used on parts of your Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C system to detect refrigerant fumes escaping from the system. If your system has a leak, we can get it fixed.

Recharge the A/C in Your Grand Vitara

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 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 use Suzuki’s specifications to evacuate the system. 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 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C recharges.

Other Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C Problems

Warm air isn't the only Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C problem you may encounter. Another common A/C problem is 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 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 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara? 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. Don’t sweat it — we’re here to help you chill out again in your Grand Vitara.

2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara A/C System FAQs

  • How can I make my Grand Vitara air conditioner 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? 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 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 my Grand Vitara A/C run on gas? 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 the A/C in my Grand Vitara smell like vinegar? 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 Grand Vitara to produce a vinegary odor.
  • What is causing my Grand Vitara’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Grand Vitara is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
