A/C Repair Service for Your Toyota Corolla

Few things are worse than a broken car air conditioner on a hot summer day. Your steering wheel feels like it's burning your hands. Your skin sticks to the driver’s seat. “Who can fix my Toyota Corolla A/C?” you wonder, as the sun beats through the windshield. Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We know Toyota vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1996 Toyota Corolla A/C systems. Come to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care in your Toyota Corolla

During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 1996 Toyota Corolla 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” isn’t a technician with a good nose! It’s a machine that’s used on different parts of your Toyota Corolla 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 Corolla

When we perform an A/C repair on your 1996 Toyota Corolla, 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. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. 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 good to go. We want you to be comfortable in your car, so we train our technicians to perform 1996 Toyota Corolla A/C recharges.

Other Toyota Corolla A/C Problems

Hot air is a common Toyota Corolla A/C problem, but it’s not the only issue you might encounter. Typical A/C problems also include 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. If your A/C system blows cold air first but then it turns warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1996 Toyota Corolla? 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. We’re here to help you get back on the road in your Corolla — without all the sweat puddles!

Frequently Asked Questions for 1996 Toyota Corolla A/C Systems

  • How do I make my Corolla air conditioning 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.
  • What’s making my Corolla 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 can cause an A/C system leak? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Corolla’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 Corolla rely on gas? Your Corolla’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.
  • What can cause the A/C in my Corolla to smell like vinegar? If the air conditioning in your Corolla 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 Corolla’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped? Damaged or worn components in your Corolla’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.
  • Where can I get my Corolla’s A/C repaired? Firestone Complete Auto Care has decades of experience inspecting and repairing Corolla air conditioning systems. Schedule an A/C repair appointment at one of our locations near you today.
