Who Are We?
If your car's air conditioning system malfunctions, it can quickly turn your driving experience into a frustrating one.
If your car’s AC compressor goes out, you may experience hot air blowing through the vents or unusual noises when you turn on the air conditioning system. This component is vital for keeping cold air circulating through your cabin.
At Interstate Auto Care, we specialize in AC repair services for car owners, and that includes repairing or replacing your AC compressor. Visit our auto repair shop in Madison Heights, MI to ensure your vehicle gets the attention it needs.
When you’re ready to have your car’s AC system inspected, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us—we’re here to help you stay cool on the road!
Some of our auto air conditioning services include:
We perform a comprehensive evaluation of the AC to detect any indications of wear, leaks of Freon or refrigerant, or any unusual sounds, enabling us to identify potential problems in the vehicle's air conditioning.
Minor repairs, such as fixing leaks, replacing seals, or addressing electrical issues, can often be handled without a full unit replacement.
If the unit is beyond repair, our technicians can replace it, ensuring compatibility with your vehicle's AC system.
After repairing or replacing the compressor, we'll recharge the cooling system with refrigerant.
This service removes debris and contaminants from the entire AC system, helping prevent damage to the new compressor and ensuring optimal performance.
Often, issues with the compressor can be linked to other components like the evaporator or condenser. We’ll inspect and repair these if needed.
We use specialized equipment to conduct refrigerant or Freon leak tests in your car's air conditioning system and correct any problems we find.

Yes, the compressor in your car can often be repaired, depending on the specific issue it is experiencing. Common repairs include fixing leaks, replacing seals, addressing electrical problems, or servicing internal components. However, if the damage is severe—such as a failed bearing or extensive wear—replacing it might be more practical and cost-effective.
The AC compressor in your vehicle typically lasts between 10 to 15 years or around 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on various factors such as usage, maintenance, and driving conditions.
You shouldn't drive your vehicle if it has a bad AC compressor. While you may still be able to operate the vehicle without using the AC system, a malfunctioning compressor can potentially affect other components of the air conditioning system, leading to further damage.
