Car A/C repair — cold air again.
If your A/C blows warm, works only sometimes or makes noise, we find the cause — leak, compressor, fan or electrical — instead of just adding refrigerant.

Car A/C Repair at NewGen Auto Repair
A/C systems are sealed — if the refrigerant is low, there is a leak somewhere. Recharging without finding the leak usually means warm air again in a few weeks, so we test for leaks first.
Other common causes are a failed compressor clutch, a condenser fan that doesn't turn on, a stuck blend door or an electrical fault. After a front-end collision, the condenser is often damaged too — that is normally part of the insurance repair.
You get a written estimate before any paid work.

Why is my car A/C blowing warm air?
The most common reasons are low refrigerant from a leak, a compressor or clutch problem, a cooling fan that isn't working, or a blend door stuck on heat.
Can you just recharge my A/C?
We can, but if the system is low it has a leak. We recommend a leak test so the cold air lasts.
My A/C stopped working after an accident. Is that covered?
Often yes — the condenser sits behind the bumper and is frequently damaged in front-end collisions. We include it in the insurance estimate when it's collision damage.

*Deductible assistance of up to $1,000 is available only on insurance claims where your insurance company has approved a repair amount of $8,000 or more and the repair is performed in accordance with that insurer-approved estimate (California Penal Code § 551(b)). We never increase a repair estimate to cover a deductible. Not available on customer-pay repairs. Ask us for details before your repair begins.
**Free computer diagnostic scan: we read and explain your vehicle's trouble codes at no charge, no purchase required. If the problem needs in-depth testing (labor), we give you a written estimate and get your approval before any paid work, as California law requires.
†Warranty: limited lifetime warranty on our collision, body and paint workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle; 24 months / 24,000 miles (whichever comes first) on mechanical repairs, parts and labor. Not covered: normal wear, new damage, abuse or neglect, rust or chips from road debris, and customer-supplied parts. Warranty terms are written on your invoice.
‡Accident towing: you pay nothing out of pocket when you have collision coverage or the other driver is at fault — we pay the tow and bill the insurance company. If no insurance covers the tow, we tell you the price before the truck is sent.
