Car AC Repair in Wichita Falls, TX

When it is 105 degrees in Wichita Falls, air conditioning is not a luxury. The Always Auto service department diagnoses and repairs automotive A/C on all makes and models — leak testing, recharge, compressors, condensers, blower motors and controls. We find out why it stopped blowing cold instead of just topping it off. Call or text (940) 228-3800.

Signs Your Car AC Needs Service

• Blowing warm or barely cool air — most often a refrigerant leak
• Weak airflow even on high — often a blower motor or a plugged cabin air filter
• AC works then quits after a few minutes — can be an electrical or compressor clutch issue
• Loud noise or rattle when the AC kicks on — often a failing compressor
• Musty smell from the vents — moisture and mildew in the evaporator case
• Water on the passenger floorboard — a plugged evaporator drain

What A/C Service Costs at Always Auto

A/C pricing depends on which refrigerant your vehicle uses, and that is not something most shops explain up front. Here is how ours works. Call (940) 228-3800 with your year, make and model and we will tell you which system you have and what it will run before you commit to anything.

• R-134a evacuate and recharge — starting at $149.95, including a leak test. This covers most vehicles built before roughly 2015.
• R-1234yf evacuate and recharge — call for a quote. Newer vehicles use R-1234yf, and the refrigerant itself costs several times more per pound than R-134a, so these jobs run meaningfully higher. We will quote yours exactly rather than guess.
• Check engine light diagnostic — free preliminary code scan and consultation.
• Deeper A/C diagnostics — if the leak is not obvious and we need dye testing, electrical diagnosis or component testing, that is billed separately and we will tell you the cost before starting.

Final price depends on how much refrigerant your system holds and what we find. If your system is low, it leaked — and we will always tell you whether a recharge will actually hold before we take your money.

Car AC Questions We Get Asked

Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Most of the time it is a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant does not get used up like fuel — if the system is low, it went somewhere. That is why a recharge alone will not hold. We test for the leak first, fix it, then recharge.

Is a can of recharge from the parts store worth it?
It might get you cold air for a few weeks, but it does not fix the leak, and overcharging the system can damage the compressor. It also makes the leak harder to find later.

How much does AC repair cost?
A recharge with leak test is one of our most affordable services. A compressor replacement costs more. Call (940) 228-3800 with your year, make and model and we will tell you what it takes before you commit to anything.

How long does AC repair take?
An evacuate-and-recharge with leak test is usually done the same day. Compressor and evaporator work can take longer depending on parts.

Do you service AC on trucks and diesels?
Yes, and on older vehicles too. Trucks and SUVs are the bulk of what we work on.

Do I have to be a customer to get AC service?
No. Our shop serves all of Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Iowa Park, Vernon, Electra and Lawton, Oklahoma, whether you bought your vehicle from us or not.
