Auto A/C Repair and Service in Plano, TX
What’s a luxury car without great working air conditioning or climate control? Here in the Dallas area, it’s HOT in the summer and can be quite frigid in the winter. One thing we know from our customers is they want to be comfortable all year round. It makes sense, doesn’t everybody?
A slight change in airflow or a warm blast from the vents can quickly turn your luxury drive into a headache. That’s why our team specializes in European car A/C repair in Plano, TX, giving your vehicle the service it needs to perform at its best, no matter how high the temperature climbs.
Certified A/C Technicians for Imports
At EurAuto, our technicians are MACS 608/609 certified, meaning they’re trained in proper refrigerant handling and climate control service, keeping your vehicle performing at its best while protecting the environment.
We specialize in the precise, often complex A/C systems found in European and exotic vehicles, including Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, and Jaguar, as well as performance machines like Lamborghini and McLaren. These aren’t cookie-cutter cars, and they shouldn’t receive cookie-cutter care.
Our team uses factory-grade tools and diagnostics to deliver accurate, efficient service tailored to your vehicle’s engineering. That’s why drivers across Plano and beyond trust EurAuto to keep them cool every season.
Common A/C Problems in European Cars
One of the most common customer questions we hear is, “Why is my car A/C blowing warm air?” This can stem from a variety of issues like refrigerant leaks, sensor malfunctions, or clogged expansion valves. In European and exotic cars, these systems are often more complex than domestic models, making expert care essential.
At EurAuto, we frequently service models from BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and more, each with its own climate control quirks. Whether it’s a BMW with an A/C not cooling or an Audi climate control repair, our team has the experience to get it fixed right the first time.
A/C Leak Diagnosis and Repair
Most of the time when a car’s air conditioning is not cooling well, it’s due to the refrigerant level being low. Finding the leak so repairs can be made is paramount, but not always easy. For diagnosing R-12, R-134a, and R1234yf – we use a combination of refrigerant leak detectors (sniffers) and leak detection dye.
Once we find the leak, we use a refrigerant reclamation machine to safely evacuate the refrigerant from the system, repair the leak, and recharge the system with the proper amount of refrigerant and oil.
Common leak points include:
- Pressure switches
- Expansion valves
- Receiver dryers
- Compressor bodies
- Condensers
- Evaporator cores
Air Conditioning and Climate Control Electronic Repairs
Modern A/C and climate control systems use advanced electronics to maintain comfort across each zone in the vehicle. These systems rely on multiple components like temperature sensors, evaporator sensors, blend doors, and other control mechanisms.
At EurAuto, we use factory-grade diagnostic tools that let us view the electronic functions happening within the system. This level of access helps us accurately identify and repair issues in even the most complex European and exotic vehicle climate systems.
Evaporator Core Replacement
The most dreaded of air conditioning leaks is the evaporator core leak. This is because the evaporator core is located behind the dash and replacement involves removing the dash, center console, and sometimes even the front seats. This is often a 20-30 hour job, depending on the vehicle.
When performing an evaporator core replacement (or any other repair), we want the client to have a seamless experience. When they pick up their car, they shouldn’t be able to tell that it was ever disassembled. This takes an incredible amount of attention to detail – something that our technicians are completely used to.
Refrigerant Upgrades for Older Cars
When performing repairs on older vehicles that still use R-12 refrigerant systems, it’s often best to convert them to R-134a refrigerant. This upgrade requires replacing the expansion valve, dryer, all system oil, and o-rings throughout the system. While this involves an upfront cost, it’s usually offset by the lower price and easier availability of R-134a refrigerant and parts.
For newer European and exotic vehicles equipped with R-1234yf refrigerant, a more environmentally friendly option, our team has the proper tools and certifications to safely service and recharge these systems. R-1234yf service requires specialized equipment and handling, which our MACS 609-certified technicians are fully trained to provide.
Whether your car uses R-12, R-134a, or R-1234yf, you can count on EurAuto for precise, environmentally responsible A/C service in Plano, TX.
