Our Auto A/C Repair process for BMW in North Reading

Full air conditioning service including leak detection, refrigerant recharge, and compressor replacement.

The BMW-specific note: BMW AC compressor failures on N20/B48 are clutch-bearing related, not refrigerant. We diagnose properly before replacing.

What we check during a Auto A/C Repair visit

• Static and dynamic pressure test with manifold gauges
• UV-dye leak inspection of evaporator, condenser, lines, and compressor seals
• Refrigerant identification (R-134a vs R-1234yf) before evacuation
• Compressor clutch engagement and pulley bearing condition check
• Cabin air filter inspection; frequently the actual cause of "weak AC"
• Blower motor amp-draw test (predicts failure before the motor stops working)
