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. Sweat soaks the driver's seat. You take a deep breath and ask yourself, “Who can fix my Toyota Corolla A/C?” Easy — Firestone Complete Auto Care! We’ve got experience with Toyota vehicles, and our technicians are qualified to diagnose and repair 1998 Toyota Corolla A/C systems. Steer your Toyota Corolla to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care

During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 1998 Toyota Corolla’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test. 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 Toyota Corolla A/C system to identify points where refrigerant fumes could be escaping the system. If your A/C system has a leak, we’ll find and repair it.

Corolla A/C Recharge

Let's say we repair your 1998 Toyota Corolla A/C system. We will also perform 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. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant and once the technician tests the cool blast for themselves, you’re good to go. Our technicians are trained to efficiently perform 1998 Toyota Corolla A/C recharges.

Common Toyota Corolla A/C Problems

You may think warm air is the only potential Toyota Corolla A/C problem you’ll have, but you may notice other issues, too. Typical A/C problems also include 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 you notice that your A/C system’s air is cold at first, then quickly goes warm, this can mean there’s a malfunctioning compressor clutch, a leak, or a blown fuse. And smelly A/C in a 1998 Toyota Corolla? You could have a moldy evaporator case, or you may simply need a new cabin air filter installed. Our technicians will work to solve your A/C problems to the best of their ability. So, chill out. We're here to help you get the blast back in your Corolla’s A/C!

1998 Toyota Corolla A/C System FAQs

  • How do I make my Corolla 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 Corolla 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak? 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 Corolla’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Does my Corolla A/C use gas?  The air conditioning system in your Corolla 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.
  • My Corolla’s A/C smells like vinegar! What can cause that? 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 Corolla creates a breeding environment for microorganisms.
  • Why does my Corolla’s A/C only work when the car is moving? A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Corolla is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.
