A/C & Heating

There are a wide variety of problems that can occur with your vehicle's heating and air conditioning. Oceanside Auto Repair & Smog has the proper equipment and experience to locate and repair the issue quickly and effectively. We can handle all your air conditioning issues from hard to find leaks to difficult repairs like recovery from compressor failure.

Our Auto AC Services include AC recharge, AC compressors and AC belts.

Treating a problem with your vehicle’s air conditioning system early can help prevent major repairs. Routine maintenance can help you avoid major AC repairs down the road. If you notice something is not quite right with your A/C or Heating system, bringing your car in for a check might save you headaches down the road. An air conditioning system on low refrigerant due to a leak will damage the compressor. Symptoms to beware of regarding a faulty air conditioning system include a faulty fan or blower, loud noise during regular operation, and reduced cooling capability. Stale smelling air is another sign that something is wrong with your vehicle’s air conditioner. A clogged compressor, evaporator, condenser, or expansion valve can contribute to AC system failure. Call us today if you are having issues with your A/C or Heating systems!

Similarily, heating systems can show signs of potential problems. What your auto heating system does is to function to keep your car cabin warm in the winter. The auto A/C system additionally offers a double function of working your defrost in the winter. Heating systems are comprised of a heater core which acts like a little radiator behind the dash, fan, and hoses which draw the heat from the engine to the core. If your car is not heating right or the defroster is not working, this could mean there is a potential problem in your heating system and should be checked.

Brake Service and Repair

Starting to hear squeeky brakes? Repairing or replacing brakes can be as simple as changing the brake pads. Brakes should be inspected every 3 months or 3,000 miles. A screeching or grinding noise when you press on the brake pedal is an indicator that metal parts of your brakes are scraping together. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn brake parts can help you avoid more extensive – and expensive – repairs and keep you and your family safer on the road.

Repairs become more involved if the rotors have been damaged, or if other parts of the system like brake lines are failing. Driving in San Diego is tough on cars. With all the traffic, the narrow roads, the potholes, and all the stop and go traffic, San Diego is especially tough on brakes! Driving conditions here may lead to accelerated brake wear, so having a qualified and trustworthy service center is important for both safety and cost savings. We advise to catch worn brakes pads BEFORE you hear them grinding! Don't wait too long or severe, costly damage can occur. You can save over 50% off the price of a brake job by acting before the damage to rotors is done.

Let the professionals at Oceanside Auto Repair inspect your brakes, and if service is needed, we will provide you with a full quote before any work is performed. We are an Oceanside family-owned and operated local auto mechanic and smog center. We repair what you need—not what we want you to buy.
