Mobile AC Repair & Recharge

There is nothing better than driving around with the wind blowing in your hair, but for all the Lincoln motorists that don’t have a soft top, there is only one solution to keeping cool, and that is to use the AC.

The problem is when it starts to get stuffy and then the AC doesn’t work as it should. The temperature can rise pretty quickly inside a vehicle. A vehicle AC can stop working for many reasons, and there are plenty of symptoms that will let you know you have an AC problem.

Air Conditioning Problems in Lincoln

• There is no fresh air coming from the vents
• There is poor airflow, or the AC unit fails to blow at all
• You can smell a strange odor coming from the vents

When you see the symptoms, it is good to know the problems that cause them. With this, you can quickly call a mobile mechanic because you know your AC is faulty and you need an AC repair.

• Hoses can work loose or wear. This would be on the inlet hose, and if this happens, no air can get to the AC unit.
• Seals can wear, and if this happens, there is not enough pressure for the unit to work. Once this problem has been fixed, it would need to be recharged.
• When the AC system cools, there is a lot of condensation. This is why small pools of water can form under your vehicle. With this, if the water doesn’t escape as it should, it can cause mold and mildew. If this builds up, it prevents air from reaching the vents from the condenser.

Car Diagnostics

Most modern vehicles are controlled by computers to such an extent, that when there is a problem, the only way to locate it, is to hook the vehicle up to a diagnostics machine and run it through a series of tests. Even this can lead a mobile mechanic to the wrong area because one fault can throw up a series of errors.

Clutch and Transmission

You can look at the transmission and clutch as your vehicles running gear, and it is this which converts your engine’s power to something which can drive the wheels. It comes in two varieties, there is auto-transmission where all you have is your gas pedal and your brake pedal. This can be ideal if you are stuck in traffic around Lincoln because you aren’t continually changing gear.

A stick shift, on the other hand, is much more fun to drive, and many motorists love this way of driving. Both types though at some point in time can need clutch auto repair, and when it is time, there are a few signs or symptoms you can encounter which are listed here:

• The clutch slips when towing or going uphill
• Your vehicle shudders while you’re driving at any speed
• A burning smell emanates from under the hood
• A stick shift can be hard to move into, or out of gear
• Transmission fluids look and smell funny

Lincoln Clutch and Transmission Checks

Clutches and transmission are heavy duty components on vehicles and are built to take a lot of work. However, something as simple as the driving style can aid in speeding up the time before your vehicle needs a clutch repair.

A driver who rests there foot on the clutch pedal can cause the inner workings to spin and rub against each other. It is something simple, but this quickly leads to a clutch slipping. There is also dropping down too many gears at a time. This places massive amounts of stress on the entire transmission system.

For heavy-duty vehicles, and this can include RV’s and vehicles which tow quite often. Mobile Mechanics of Lincoln recommends having one of our highly skilled mobile transmission technicians to give your vehicles running gear the once over.

Unless you know how to check, or you spot the symptoms above.  A clutch can carry on working to the point of sudden failure. Looking from the other side, any transmission repair on your vehicle will reduce strain on your clutch.

Belt Replacement

One of the most frequent things that can cause a problem on a vehicle in warm climates is one of the belts over wearing, fraying and then either splitting or falling from the pulley’s they generally sit on. Lincoln has the ideal climate to make the life of belts a misery because it is dry and warm, and there is vast amounts of friction which are forced onto these thin slithers of rubberized material.

The need for a Belt replacement in Lincoln, NE, can be a frequent occurrence, and any mobile mechanic can resolve the problem in a few minutes.

Types of Vehicle Belts

There are two types of car belts, and both can cause your car to stop functioning, although one can severely damage your engine compared to one which will just cause things to stop working until you can look at replacing serpentine belt as quickly as possible.

Timing Belts

Timing-belt-replacement is the most crucial of the two. All the pistons are kept in synch by this large belt, and if it finally goes suddenly, most of the inner workings of your car’s engine will operate out of order.

Pistons especially, they can cause all sorts of damage when the timing belt breaks, and it does take the skills of a professional mobile mechanic to fix this problem. Motorists are tempted to drive to a garage, but all this does is make the internal damage worse.

Mobile Mechanics of Lincoln suggests pulling over and stopping your car immediately if you have a timing belt issue. We have seen vehicles require new engines or an engine rebuild when the vehicle owner has decided to drive to a garage for a replacement.

Serpentine Belts

It used to be the case, there was a single fan belt, and it was this which used to break on a car or find its way off the pulley, these could be replaced by a vehicle driver. Nowadays, the engines have evolved, and larger belts have been designed, and now these serpentine belts drive all manner of things from the fan to pumps and other parts of the engine.

When these break all these secondary functions stop working, and you could quickly see the engine temp rise as a result. Although no severe damage is caused, it does require the assistance of a Lincoln mechanic. Luckily though, the serpentine belt replacement cost isn’t too expensive, and it is more of a short-term inconvenience.

If you find this happening, you should avoid driving your vehicle and call us, our Mobile Mechanics of Lincoln have most types of serpentine belts on their cars. They can fit a new belt in a few minutes, and have you back on the road in no time.
