Why Catawba drivers book mobile a/c recharge & repair
The town of Catawba is just across the river from Iredell on US-70, well inside our closest service ring. That's exactly the situation mobile cooling & climate work solves: the mechanic comes to the vehicle, so a car that shouldn't be driven doesn't have to be.
What's included
A parking-lot recharge can from the auto parts store buys you a few weeks and can overcharge the system. We measure pressures, find the leak with dye or an electronic sniffer, replace the failed part — compressor, condenser, evaporator, line, or Schrader valve — and recharge to the exact weight the manufacturer specifies. Carolina August is not the time to guess.
- Check static and running pressures
- Inspect the compressor clutch and cooling fans
- Leak-test with dye or an electronic detector
- Replace the failed component and the receiver/drier when the system is opened
- Vacuum the system, then recharge by weight with PAG oil
- Verify vent temperature

- A/C works then stops after a few minutes
- Clicking or grinding when the A/C engages

- Water not draining under the car (evaporator issue)
