Besides
the typical basic maintenance like oil changes, tire rotations, air filters, and
cabin filters, many vehicles have common problems, or pattern failures. Good
Neighbor Auto Repair specializes in a number of these common issues on
Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. Below are some examples of the
problems we deal with: Leaking
Evaporator Cores When
an evaporator starts to leak you may notice any or all of the following
symptoms: ·
Poor A/C performance, or a lack of cold air from
the vents ·
An intermittent hissing noise from behind the dash ·
An odd chemical smell coming from the vents ·
Light smoke or vapor coming from the vents The
evaporator is located in a plastic housing behind the dashboard and is
extremely difficult and time consuming to replace. It is almost always
required to remove the dashboard to access the evaporator, and on Jeep Grand
Cherokees it is a very involved process. At Good Neighbor we know the exact
location of every bolt and screw by heart, and have a detailed routine to
replace your Grand Cherokee’s evaporator quickly and making it seem like the
interior was never even touched. Leaking
Condensers Another
one of our specialties! Similar to an evaporator core, a condenser is another
critical component to the A/C system. Located in front of the engine
radiator, the condenser takes hot gaseous refrigerant and exposes it to the
relatively colder outside air and cools and condenses it to a liquid. When
these leak the refrigerant in the system can no longer make it to the
evaporator, causing poor system performance and cooling. When
a condenser starts to leak you may notice any or all of the following
symptoms: ·
Poor A/C performance, or a lack of cold air from
the vents ·
An intermittent hissing noise from behind the dash ·
An oily stain on the condenser fins The
condenser is located behind the vehicle’s front fascia/bumper, typically
bolted or secured in front of the radiator. While condensers are usually
easier to replace than evaporators, they do require the removal of the front
fascia, which can be a delicate procedure. At Good Neighbor we are highly
experienced in removing fascias, and can do so
without damage to the paint or fiberglass structure. You can rest assured
that your vehicle’s paint and body will remain in the same condition after a
condenser repair. Malfunctioning
A/C Door Actuators A
broken A/C door actuator can be an annoying problem. Inside the A/C housing
there are a set of flapper doors which redirect airflow for direction and
temperature, and if one of the actuators is malfunctioning a desired setting
may not work. If you want cold air and the blend door actuator is broken,
you’d be stuck with hot! If
a door actuator is malfunctioning you may notice any or all of the following: ·
A knocking noise from inside the dash ·
Temperature or mode settings that do not change
(Hot to cold, face vent to defrost, etc) ·
A blinking A/C or Recirculation Mode light that
does not turn off Door
actuators are located on the A/C housing, and in most cases do not require
removing the dashboard to access. Some are very easily accessed, while others
may require extensive “automotive yoga” to get to. Good Neighbor A/C Service
can handle all your door actuator repairs, regardless of whether it’s super
easy or incredibly difficult to access. 2011-2017
Jeep Grand Cherokee Instrument Panel Covers One
of the more annoying problems with the 2011-2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee is
instrument panel leather delamination, or put more simply, the leather on the
dash starts peeling and wrinkling. This is caused by poor adhesive
application at the factory, and over time the sun and heat start to cause the
leather to come apart from the fiberglass frame. Good Neighbor Auto Repair is
highly experienced in this repair, and can replace your Grand Cherokee’s
instrument panel cover quickly. |
