That feeling when you need your air conditioner when you are already having a bad day and then discover it's faulty. I can only imagine the heartbreak and despair.

M & R Automotive has got experienced and certified Honda technicians that can give you a great fix. Let's take care of your air conditioning issues and make commuting in your Honda, so much fun. The compressor, old refrigerator coolant, evaporator, air conditioner's condenser could be faulty. No need to suffer further. Come see us and get the best fix. Common Problems in Honda Odysseys, Civic & Preludes A/C System Because your Honda Odysseys, Civic, or Preludes air conditioning system might not be working in the meantime doesn't mean it's all gone. Honda Civic, Preludes, and Odysseys do have common issues leading to air conditioner malfunction. A few of them include;
  • Clogged Condenser:
The air conditioning condenser releases the heat from the vehicle’s refrigerant into the air. Some particles can be found in the gap of the condenser's mesh or on its surface after a while. This can result in poor function of the air conditioning system due to its inability to release heat due to dirt.
  • Filthy Cabin Air Filter:
Also known as the microfilter, it is an integral part of your car's ventilation system. Be it the Honda Odysseys, Civics, and Preludes, the microfilter is a vital component. When dirty, it causes a fall in the ventilation of your interior resulting in reduced airflow, heating, and cooling. It can also have a bad impact on your Honda's fuel usage due to extra strain on your car’s AC system.
  • Compressor Failure:
This is the heart of the Honda Civic, Prelude & Odyssey air conditioning system. Its parts help convert the gaseous coolant to liquid which helps keep your car cool. If your compressor is broken or damaged, it is irreparable. Non-frequent use of your air condition system can make some parts of the compressor stick while frequent use keeps them movable. The best option is replacing a bad compressor.
  • Dirty Evaporator:
Having a dirty evaporator can also be a reason for AC issues in Honda Odysseys, Civis & Preludes. The evaporator can sometimes contain some of the dirt that falls off the cabin air filter. These particles can end up blocking the airflow from the evaporator which can result in poor cooling.
