What We Handle in Vancouver
Mobile AC diagnostics and repair for commercial vehicles.
AC Diagnostics
Refrigerant Recharge
Compressor Repair
Leak Detection
Your driver is roasting. The AC died.
August in Vancouver. It hit 95 degrees by noon. Your driver has been running deliveries all morning with the AC blowing warm air. Productivity drops when the cab is an oven. Driver fatigue goes up. Mistakes go up. Complaints go up.
The shop says bring it in next week. Your driver has five more days of deliveries in the heat before then. That is five days of a miserable, fatigued driver operating a commercial vehicle in traffic.
We come to your yard tonight. Diagnose the AC system. Low refrigerant from a leak? We find the leak, fix it, recharge the system. Compressor clutch failed? We replace it. Blend door actuator stuck? We fix it. Your driver has cold air tomorrow morning.
What truck AC problems look like
AC blowing warm air is the obvious symptom. But the causes vary. Low refrigerant means a leak somewhere in the system. A failed compressor means the pump is dead. A stuck blend door means the system works but the air goes through the heater core instead of the evaporator. Electrical problems can shut down the entire HVAC system.
We diagnose before we start replacing parts. A refrigerant recharge without finding the leak is a waste of money. The refrigerant leaks out again in two weeks and you are back where you started.
Common AC repairs
Refrigerant leak detection and repair. System recharge. Compressor and compressor clutch replacement. Condenser cleaning and replacement. Evaporator service. Blend door actuator replacement. Expansion valve or orifice tube replacement. AC hose replacement. Electrical diagnosis for HVAC control issues.
Most truck AC repairs do not require removing the dashboard. The compressor, condenser, and hoses are accessible from the engine compartment. That makes on-site repair practical for the majority of AC problems.
Refrigerated trucks are different
Do not confuse cab AC with reefer units. The cab air conditioning keeps the driver comfortable. The refrigeration unit keeps the cargo cold. They are separate systems. We service cab AC systems. If your reefer unit is down, that is a different specialty.
Pacific Northwest heat and AC
Vancouver does not have Phoenix heat, but the summer months regularly hit the 90s and occasionally push past 100. Those heat waves hit hard because half the fleet has AC systems that nobody checked since last September. The first hot week of summer is when every truck with a marginal AC system fails at once.
Smart fleet operators get AC systems checked in spring before the heat hits. We run AC system inspections at your yard. Find the low charges, the weak compressors, and the leaking hoses before your drivers start sweating.
After-hours AC service
AC problems are rarely emergencies, but they are productivity killers. We schedule AC repairs during your fleet downtime so trucks do not miss routes. Evening and weekend service means the AC gets fixed without the truck missing a single delivery.

AC Repair Questions
Straight answers for Vancouver fleet operators
Can you fix truck AC at our yard?
Yes. Most truck AC repairs can be done on-site. Compressor, condenser, hoses, refrigerant, and electrical components are accessible from the engine compartment.
How do you find AC leaks?
Electronic leak detectors and UV dye testing. We find the actual leak, fix it, then recharge the system. No point recharging a leaking system.
Do you work on all truck brands?
Yes. Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, Volvo, Mack, and medium-duty trucks.
Can you check our fleet AC systems before summer?
Yes. Spring AC inspections at your yard catch problems before the first heat wave hits. Much better than fixing 10 trucks in the same week in July.
How long does a typical AC repair take?
A recharge takes about an hour. A compressor replacement takes 2-4 hours depending on the truck. We give you a time estimate before we start.
Do you service reefer units?
No. We service cab AC systems for driver comfort. Reefer units are a separate specialty.
