Auto Heating and Cooling Maintenance in Detroit, Michigan

When your car’s air conditioning stops working, it’s usually from a refrigerant leak. This kind of leak prevents Freon from cooling the air and is often found in the evaporator core. Our HVAC technicians use UV dye to conduct a simple test to locate the leak. Once the leak is found, we can quickly repair the leak or replace your evaporator core so your AC blows cold again.

Defective heating systems are most often the result of a plugged heater core. The Redford Auto Repair technicians will run diagnostics to make sure that this is the case and replace the heater core if necessary.

Coolant fluid is one of the components responsible for absorbing engine heat and warming the inside of a car during the winter. This fluid needs to be replaced periodically because it breaks down over time. Draining out old coolant and replenishing the system with new fluid will remove dirt and rust that clog up the system and cause discomfort in the summer and winter.

Our experienced mechanics recommend flushing your fluid every 40,000 miles or every five years —whichever comes first.

A car’s thermostat is part of its cooling system and helps the engine stay at an optimal temperature range.
