Does the A/C blow only hot air from the vents? Does it blow cold sporadically? Are there loud noises when you run the A/C? Any of these symptoms may indicate the need for service or repairs to your vehicle's air conditioning system.

We have certified MACS technicians who will perform a professional inspection of the system, providing you with a complete analysis of the current conditions and the estimated repair cost.

Falls Church Automotive Center is a full-service air conditioning repair facility specializing in the following key services:

A/C Diagnostic and Repair

On a hot day, you want your car's A/C system to do one thing and that is to cool your vehicle's interior. If it doesn't, we can help. Whether your vehicle needs a simple recharge, or a new compressor, we have the expertise to diagnose and perform any A/C service. Our standard A/C Performance Check service includes the following:

• Visually inspect A/C components
• Run performance test including
• System state of charge test
• System control test
• Perform leak test using approved electronic leak detector
• If a slow leak cannot be detected, a combination of dye and ultra-light detection service may need to be sold and performed.

A/C Retrofit

Many vehicles on the road today use an older variety of refrigerant called R12 or freon. Due to stricter environmental laws, this product is no longer manufactured. While the current supply of R12 is dwindling, the price is climbing. Our customers, however, have the option of converting to a new EPA-approved refrigerant called 134a. Most passenger vehicles manufactured after 1993 have the new 134a refrigerant.

Conversion to 134a is different for each vehicle. At Falls Church Automotive Center, we will provide an estimate for repair of the old system and an estimate to retrofit to 134a.
