Get Your Car's AC Compressor Repaired

ADVANCE MUFFLER & AUTOMOTIVE > The Best Auto Repair And Maintenance Services > AC REPAIR > REPAIR YOUR CAR'S AC COMPRESSOR

At Advance Muffler & Automotive 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 661-323-5188 and talk to one of our pro mechanics about repairing your car's AC compressor.

Replacing Your Car's AC Compressor

At Advance Muffler & Automotive 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.

What To Expect When Advance Muffler & Automotive In Bakersfield Replaces Your AC Compressor
  • Advance Muffler & Automotive uses AC compressors that are durability-tested for high heat conditions.
  • We use a replacement kit assembly designed to meet or exceed OE function. It includes car AC compressor, accumulator and any needed expansion devices.

    • 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.

    I was very impressed with the owner and his honest, professional treatment of his customers. Honesty and integrity is hard to find these days, but you will find it here. I highly recommend this shop. You won't be disappointed.

    Took my vintage T-Bird in for an exhaust re-do. They did a beautiful job and obviously take pride I their work. The job was completed on time and at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend!

    Driving through California our exhaust pipes took a hit and broke. Called these guys and 20 minutes later we were back on the road. Professional, friendly and quick. thank you all so much

    I highly recommend Gregg, I can't say it enough. I called around and asked how much it was just to LOOK at my A/C and the lowest price I got was $60 and everytime they always said "well it goes into however much the repairs will be. Well I just had another child and can't really afford to pay $60-$100 for someone to just look at my car. So I saw all the positive reviews on here for Advance and thought "well if he's as honest as people say he is, this is the place for me to check out" I called and asked how much for him to look at it and he said it's less than $40 bucks, so I figured okay I can swing that. Every other person that I asked told me it would be around $2k to fix... $75 and a half hour later I drove out of Gregg's shop with ice cold A/C. I'm going back tomorrow to get my window fixed and next paycheck I'm going to have him do my wife's O2 sensor (which we've been putting off for months). I'm not going to anybody else ever again. He is honest, he explains stuff in terms that I can understand, and he doesn't sugar coat stuff. Check him out, you won't be disappointed.

    Gregg is the best. He offers no BS affordable service for any car you could take in. He remedied a huge number of issues that were left by a previous mechanic on my jeep all in about an hour. Couldn't be happier with the service and the cost. Happy to say I finally found a great shop in Bakersfield for auto repair. No more check engine light for me!
