I recently brought my car in to have the A/C system serviced. It would only blow hot air. Ace Performance was able to fix it and now blows ice cold! They were polite and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend them!

I had a wonderful experience with APA Total Care QC! The staff was very helpful and courteous. We followed up in 2 weeks to check for any AC leaks. They were reasonably priced and we will be back with our other vehicles.

Fantastic service! My newly married adult kids were in town for just a couple days to attend a wedding and A/C was out on their car. APA was great and was able to get car in same day. Great communication, detailed diagnostics with pictures/video followed up with phone call. Repairs were done at cost agreed upon and o time to include additional safety critical issues with brakes. Top notch and will be back when services are needed in my vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the most common cause of car A/C failure?

    The most common cause is low refrigerant due to a leak somewhere in the A/C system (seals/O-rings, hoses, condenser, evaporator, or service ports). When refrigerant drops, the system can’t absorb heat effectively, so you get warm air, weak cooling, or intermittent A/C.


  • What kills a car A/C compressor?

    Common compressor “killers” include:


    • Low refrigerant (often from a leak) → reduced lubrication and higher heat/load
    • Contamination in the system (metal debris from a failing compressor, moisture, incorrect oil/refrigerant)
    • Restricted airflow/heat rejection (damaged or blocked condenser, cooling fan issues) → high pressures that stress the compressor
    • Electrical/control problems (bad relay, clutch coil, pressure sensor, wiring) causing the compressor to cycle incorrectly or not engage properly
    • Belt/tensioner issues that cause slip, noise, or inconsistent compressor operation

  • Can I still drive my car if the A/C compressor is bad?

    Usually yes, but it depends on how it failed:


    • If the compressor won’t engage (clutch not turning), you can often drive—just without A/C.
    • If it’s seized, the belt system can be affected (squealing, burning smell, belt damage). That can leave you stranded or impact other belt-driven components depending on the vehicle.
    • If you hear grinding/screeching, notice smoke/burning smell, the serpentine belt looks damaged, or the car is overheating, stop driving and get it checked ASAP.

  • Why A/C Systems Fail Faster in Arizona Heat?

    With long periods of extreme heat, your vehicle’s A/C system runs almost constantly, putting added stress on components like the compressor, condenser, and refrigerant lines.


    Over time, this strain can lead to low refrigerant levels, worn belts, reduced cooling performance, or even complete system failure.


    To stay ahead of breakdowns, it’s smart to have your A/C system checked at least once a year—especially before peak summer. A quick inspection of refrigerant levels, cabin filters, and belt condition can prevent bigger, more expensive repairs later.
