Auto A/C Repair & Service at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

A properly functioning air conditioning system is essential for comfort. At AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair, we have multiple locations to best serve our customers with comprehensive A/C services. Our technicians work hard to keep your car’s air conditioning system running efficiently year-round.

Your vehicle’s A/C system relies on several components, including the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and refrigerant, to deliver cool air into the cabin. Leaks, worn-out parts, or low refrigerant levels are common problems that reduce performance. If you notice weak airflow, warm air blowing from the vents, or unusual noises when the A/C is running, it may be time for a professional inspection.

At AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair, we diagnose and repair A/C issues using state-of-the-art equipment. We cover everything from leak detection to component replacements. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to your auto A/C system, please contact one of our locations.

A/C Service FAQs

How often should my car’s A/C system be serviced?

It’s a good idea to have your A/C system checked annually or seasonally. Regular inspections can help detect minor issues before they become major repairs.

Why is my car’s A/C blowing warm air?

Warm air from the vents could indicate low refrigerant levels, a leak, a failing compressor, or a clogged condenser. A professional inspection can pinpoint the issue and restore your system’s cooling power.

Can I recharge my car’s A/C myself?

While DIY refrigerant recharge kits are available, they are not foolproof. A professional A/C service ensures the correct refrigerant level and identifies any necessary repairs.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016

Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment. When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015

The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
