AC & Heat Repair in Berea, KY

An AC that blows warm in July and a heater that blows cold in December are two of the fastest ways to hate your car. Both are fixable — we just need to find the actual cause instead of shooting a can of stop-leak into the system and hoping. Toyota master and ASE master certified — we cover the AC and heating side the same as the rest of the car.

We handle the full system: AC recharge with proper evacuation and leak-test first (not a can-and-hope), compressor replacement with line flushing and new oil, condenser, evaporator, expansion valves and orifice tubes, heater cores, blend-door actuators, blower motors and resistors, and climate-control module issues. Both R134a and R1234yf handled — many modern vehicles use the newer refrigerant and it needs dedicated equipment.

Old-school diagnosis on a complex system: find the leak with dye or electronic sniffer, verify pressures on both sides, measure vent temperature, confirm blend doors actually move. A real AC service isn't a recharge — it's a system-health check.

Old Souls Garage handles ac repair for drivers across Berea, KY and all of Rockcastle County and the surrounding area. Call (606) 386-0997 and we'll give you honest numbers before you come in.

Common questions

How much does an AC recharge cost? +
A proper recharge — evacuate, leak-check, recharge with correct refrigerant and oil — runs $150–$300 depending on refrigerant type and vehicle. A $40 parts-store can without leak-testing is a waste of $40.
My AC worked last year but now it's warm. What gives? +
Almost always a leak. Refrigerant doesn't get consumed; if it's gone, it leaked out somewhere — usually a condenser, an O-ring, or a compressor shaft seal. We find the leak first, then recharge.
I hear a clicking sound from the dash. Is that serious? +
That's a blend-door actuator. Often it's a fairly minor fix — the actuator itself is usually under $100 and labor varies by location in the dash. Clicking gets worse over time and eventually the door sticks.
Can you work on R1234yf systems? +
Yes. Newer vehicles (many 2015+) use R1234yf and it requires dedicated recovery equipment and different oil. We have the tooling.
My heat doesn't work — do I need a heater core? +
Maybe, maybe not. Heater cores are expensive because the dash usually has to come out, so we verify it's actually the core — not a low coolant level, a stuck thermostat, a bad blend door, or a blocked core — before quoting the big job.
