JAPANESE AUTO SPECIALIST INC. > The Best Auto Repair And Maintenance Services > AC REPAIR > REPAIR YOUR CAR'S AC COMPRESSOR

At Japanese Auto Specialist Inc. we know each component of your car's AC has a specific function. A cracked or damaged compressor can cause your car air conditioning to fail. Call today at 864-235-2195 and talk to one of our pro mechanics about repairing your car's AC compressor.

Replacing Your Car's AC Compressor

At Japanese Auto Specialist Inc. we recommended that car owners replace the complete AC compressor assembly because the compressor replacement core operates under extreme physical pressure. The compressor is powered by a serpentine belt, which provides the energy needed to compress freon refrigerant to cool the car's cabin. Once compressed, the freon is in a volatile, high-pressure state. This pressure forces the liquid out of the compressor and through the cooling system.

Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
Vehicle Tips

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Vehicle Tips

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Vehicle Tips

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Vehicle Tips

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
Vehicle Tips

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Vehicle Tips

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Vehicle Tips

Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Vehicle Tips

Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Vehicle Tips

Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Vehicle Tips

Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Vehicle Tips

Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Vehicle Tips

Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Vehicle Tips

Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Vehicle Tips

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Vehicle Tips

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Vehicle Tips

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Reviews and comments from our satisfied customers

Greenville, SC

We have been using Japanese Auto Specialist for the years that we lived in Mauldin, SC. 2009-2021. They are the most trustworthy folks that you will find in the area. You have the welcoming feeling from the time that you step in the door! The receptionist Johnie is the best at scheduling and pointing you in the right direction for repair. Bill, the owner stands behind the service on your vehicle! I do hope that I find a similar repair shop, here in Pennsylvania. Good folks and great service!

One of the most capable and honest group of people I have experienced in a long time!

Have had great experience with Japanese Auto for over 5 years-- excellent, extremely honest service. Because of my confidence in them, all my future cars will continue to be Japanese makes. Recommended this shop to my sister-in-law, who now brings all 5 of her family member's cars in for service.

Japanese Auto is the best auto repair shop I've experienced in several decades of having cars serviced. They've kept my Camry alive for 200K miles and my 4Runner for 180K miles. Both run like new.

Mac D.
Simply the best car repair shop in all the upstate area. Honest owner who has a very knowledgeable staff that can fix just about anything, Even the stuff the dealers can't fix. I've taken all my vehicles there for 20 years and it's always right the first time, at a fair price.

Jason B.
I would give 10 stars if I could! Absolutely could not be more pleased with Japanese Auto Specialists. They got my car assessed and repaired in the same day! This was the very first time that I've ever done business with them, and they made me feel like I've been doing business there for years! They gave me recommendations for "down the road", without making me feel like it was a necessity for today. I also loved that they called me with a price before they began working on my 4Runner - it made me feel comfortable, and I knew what to expect at checkout! This was truly a pressure free, and absolutely stress free experience, and for that I will definitely be a return customer, and recommend them to anyone that drives a Japanese vehicle! Thank you!
