Five Signs Your Car AC Needs To Be Serviced?

  • Your car air conditioning blows only slightly cooler than the outside air.
  • Your car's air conditioner blows air that smells like mildew and mold.
  • Your A/C only works while driving.
  • You have low airflow even at the highest fan setting.
  • Water condensing or dripping on your foot while driving.

Don't wait! If your car's A/C is working at reduced efficiency, it's worth a visit to Folbeck 4 Wheel Drive. Taking care of regular maintenance now can help you avoid more expensive AC repair costs down the road. Sometimes fixing a broken air conditioner is as simple and cost effective as adding new coolant.

Most truck and car air conditioning systems break eventually with usage. Hoses that feed the AC unit may crack, clog or drip if not serviced. Let us service your car or truck and keep your cooling system performing at its peak. Call us at 775-331-4177 to learn more about how we can get your air conditioning running again!

Let Folbeck 4 Wheel Drive Repair Your Car's AC Compressor

The cool air in your car is produced primarily by the compressor. The four main functions that your vehicle's compressor carries out include pressurizing the refrigerant to cool cabin air, monitoring and controlling temperature output, sensing temperature changes inside and outside the vehicle, and moving air to your car's AC condenser.

Your vehicle's A/C condenser is usually located in the front of the radiator. When your AC compressor is pressurizing the refrigerant flows to the condenser to reduce the temperature and pressure. The condenser is a vital component in keeping your car's cabin temperature cool. It moves the cooled liquid refrigerant to the receiver/dryer or accumulator.

reviewiconEngine & Transmission, near Sparks, Washington

My wife and I drove from Seattle Washington to Reno. We developed a coolant leak in the middle of moving our daughter into her dorm at UNR. My sister recommended Folbecks 4WD. Folbecks squeezed us in on a Thursday, had our heater hose replaced and cooling system serviced by Friday. By Saturday our daughter was moved in and we were back on the road to Lake Tahoe for the weekend. This was probably the best customer service and repair experience we have had. Thanks to Folbecks 4WD our week in Reno/Tahoe was a complete success. RJ was very professional and very helpful. I would recommend Folbecks to anyone in Reno/Sparks who needed auto repair services. Thank You to RJ and all the mechanics and people at Folbecks.
