Air Conditioning
Automotive Air Conditioning refers to the system within a vehicle that cools and dehumidifies the cabin air for passenger comfort.
Car Air Conditioning in vehicles is a system designed to cool the interior of the car, providing comfort to passengers in warm conditions.
It works by circulating refrigerant through a closed system, absorbing heat from the car's interior and releasing it outside. This system includes components like the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and various controls.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we specialize in maintaining and repairing these systems to ensure they function efficiently, providing optimal temperature control and air quality within your vehicle.
When or why do you need it?
Air Conditioning Service is necessary when you notice that your car's interior is not cooling as effectively as it should or if there are signs of reduced airflow, unusual noises, or bad odors coming from the AC vents.
Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial, especially before the hotter months of the year, to ensure the system operates at peak efficiency.
At Gateway Auto - Service & Collision Center, we provide comprehensive AC services, including inspections, refrigerant recharging, and repairs to components like compressors and evaporators, to keep your vehicle's air conditioning working smoothly for maximum comfort and safety.

Frequently asked questions
If it's a car, we'll fix it. If it's a question, we'll answer it.
Running your vehicle's A/C during the winter months actually has several benefits. It helps maintain the system's lubrication, prevents refrigerant leaks due to inactivity, and helps defog the windows by removing moisture from the air inside the cabin.
Low refrigerant is the most common car air conditioning issue and can be fixed with an A/C recharge service. However, other issues may arise over your car's lifetime, including problems with the compressor, condenser or cooling fans. Our expert technicians will do a thorough diagnosis of your car's A/C system to determine if your vehicle needs a recharge or a more complex repair, then help you get back on the road with cold blowing air!
Several factors can cause your vehicle's AC to blow hot air intermittently. Low refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, a leak in the system, or a malfunctioning condenser could be potential culprits. Our expert technicians will diagnose the issue accurately and provide the necessary repairs to restore proper cooling.
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance. We recommend having your vehicle's AC system checked at least once a year. This ensures it functions efficiently, provides cool air, and prevents potential issues.
