Recharge, leak, or compressor? We test first.
We read the vent temperature and the gauge pressures, then look for leak clues: dye, oily fittings, or a hiss. That tells us which problem you actually have.
A recharge is the fix only when the system holds. If it needs equipment we do not carry, or a dash-out repair, we say so before we start.
Orlando A/C systems work overtime: 90-degree days, stop-and-go, and cars that sit in the sun. Low charge from a slow leak is common. A recharge without a leak check is a band-aid. We test first.
If the compressor is noisy, the clutch is not engaging, or the condenser took a rock, we will say so. Some jobs stay mobile. Some belong at a shop. You get that distinction up front, not after a hopeful fill.
Cabin filters get ignored and then the system smells like a gym bag. We can replace that while we are there. This page is diagnosis, leak clues, recharge when the system is sound, and a cabin filter. That is the job.
A/C died in the Florida heat and I needed a mobile mechanic in Orlando same day. FD Auto Solutions came to my driveway, diagnosed the system, recharged it, and had cold air again without me sitting at a shop. Clear quote before they started, fair price, solid work.
Why mobile
You should not sit in a waiting room while the cabin cooks. A mobile A/C visit happens where the car lives: house, office lot, apartment guest spot. Diagnosis and a recharge, when the system holds, are driveway work. If the job needs recover equipment we do not carry, you hear that before we start.
- Vent temperature and gauge readings on site
- Quoted before we recharge or order parts
- Recharge only after we know the system will hold
If this sounds like the car
- Vents blowing warm, even on max
- A/C worked yesterday and died overnight
- Weak airflow from the dash
- Musty or gym-bag smell when it kicks on
- Compressor not clicking / clutch not engaging
Driveway visit, quote before we start
We come to you. You get the number. Nothing starts until you approve.
- 01
Book a window
Call, text, or use the form. Warm air, weak air, or it died yesterday, plus year, make, and model, is enough to start.
- 02
Diagnose in the driveway
Gauges, vent temps, and leak clues (dye, oil, hiss). You get a plain-English read: recharge, leak, or compressor.
- 03
Quote before we start
You see the number before we add refrigerant or order parts. If the system is empty, we will not just fill it.
- 04
You approve, then we fix what holds
If the system is sound, we recharge in the same visit. If it belongs in a shop, you hear that before we start. Cabin filter on request.
Questions about this job
Why is my car A/C blowing warm?
Usually low refrigerant from a slow leak, a weak compressor, or a fan or clutch that is not doing its job. We read vent temperature and gauges on site, then tell you which one it is.
Do I get a quote before you recharge?
Yes. Diagnosis first, then a number. Nothing is added and no parts are ordered until you approve.
Is a recharge enough?
Only if the system holds. If it is empty, something leaked. We will not just fill and run.
Can you recharge car A/C in the driveway?
Yes, when the system is sound. Diagnosis is the visit. A recharge is the fix only after we know it will stay cold.
Do you come to apartments and office lots?
Yes, if we can park next to the car and run the job safely. House, work, or HOA stall, serving the Orlando area.
How long does a mobile A/C visit take?
Diagnosis is typically under an hour. A recharge, when the system holds, is done in the same visit.
