Auto AC Service and Repair
Stay cool in Charlotte summers. Recharge, leak repair, and compressor replacement.
Charlotte summers regularly hit 95°F+ with humidity that makes your car feel like a sauna. A working AC system isn’t a luxury here — it’s a necessity. At Ironclad, we diagnose AC problems properly before adding refrigerant, because a recharge without fixing the leak is money down the drain.
AC Recharge
Evacuate old refrigerant, vacuum test the system, recharge with the correct amount of R-134a or R-1234yf. Includes UV dye for leak detection.
Leak Detection
UV dye test, electronic leak detection, and visual inspection of hoses, connections, and the condenser. We find the leak before you pay to recharge.
Compressor Replacement
The most common major AC repair. Includes new compressor, receiver/drier, expansion valve, and system flush.
How Your Car’s AC Works
Your AC system circulates refrigerant through a compressor, condenser, and evaporator to remove heat. Understanding the basics helps you understand the repair.
Signs Your AC Needs Service
Warm air from vents, weak airflow, strange noises when AC is on, musty smell, water pooling under dash. Don’t wait until summer to fix it.
Charlotte Summers Demand Reliable AC
90+ degree days from May through September. Your AC system works hardest when you need it most. Annual AC checks prevent mid-summer breakdowns.
Transparent Pricing
AC recharge runs $150–$250 depending on refrigerant type (R-134a vs R-1234yf). Leak repair varies by location and severity. Compressor replacement runs $500–$1,200 including parts, labor, and system flush. All AC repairs carry our 2-year/24,000-mile warranty.
