Why maintaining your AC System is very important:
Heating and A/C systems may break eventually with usage, hose pipes may clog and drip if not serviced, causing reduced efficiency heating and cooling capabilities. Regular maintenance will keep your AC system operating at peak performance!
Indications your A/C system may be having issues:
- If your air conditioning blows only slightly cooler air compared to the exterior air
- Air that blows in smells damp, musty, or like mildew and mold
- Your cabin does not warm up in cold weather, or is just a little warmer than outside
- The defroster takes longer than typical to operate, or does not operate
- Your heater or A/C only functions when driving, not when idling, or quits blowing when the car is stationary
- Your heating system blows cold air, or the air conditioning blows warm air
- Low airflow even at the highest fan setting.
A comprehensive evaluation of heating and A/C system includes:
- Examining the internal controls and blower
- Checking radiator coolant operating temperature, hoses, pressure radiator cap and thermostat
- Inspecting the compressor belt
- Inspecting system and seals for leaks or various other damages.
- A cooling system pressure test
- Verifying the A/C pressure meets manufacturer specifications
- Measuring the interior vent air temperature

Belts
A fan belt, also known as a drive belt, is a belt connecting your car's engine to the front mounted accessories. The fan belt rotates the water pump and engine fan, which maintains a cool environment for the engine and its components. Sooner or later, your vehicle's fan belts will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Familia Automotive for all your vehicle's repair needs.
You not only have to get the belts replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the belts replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit Familia Automotive today. The mechanics at Familia Automotive will thoroughly inspect your car's belts; replace all worn belts; and adjust the installed belts.
Coolant System Flush
A car's coolant system transfers excess heat from one part of the engine and finally loses it through the radiator fins. With time, the coolant becomes old and dirty. The old coolant will negatively impact the system's performance. To make sure the system is working effectively, consider having a regular coolant system flush. A coolant flush is basic maintenance for your car's cooling system. Call 209-933-1829 or visit Familia Automotive in Stockton, CA 95210 for all your coolant system flush and fill needs.
Hoses
Hoses transfer coolant and antifreeze throughout the engine's cooling system (including the radiator). Sooner or later, your vehicle's hoses will dry out and crack. When you are ready for a replacement you can count on Familia Automotive for all your vehicle's repair needs.
You not only have to get the hoses replaced with quality ones but you should have the work done by experts. To have the hoses replaced by auto cooling and heating experts - and get your car driving right - visit Familia Automotive today. The mechanics at Familia Automotive will thoroughly inspect your car's hoses; replace all worn hoses; and adjust the installed hoses.
Radiator Flush
A radiator is the part of your vehicle that keeps the engine cool and protects it from excessive heating. To be cool, the radiator needs to remain clean - always. With time, sludge, rust and other solid deposits build up inside your car's radiator. These make the cooling system become clogged and less effective. This in effect hurts your vehicle's performance. A regular radiator flush is enough to keep the system in shape. For this reason, make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule. For all your radiator flush needs, call 209-933-1829 or visit Familia Automotive today.
Radiators
Radiators are heat exchangers for cooling your car's internal combustion engine. A radiator cools the engine by circulating an engine coolant through the engine block - it then loses the heat to the atmosphere through radiation. A radiator has a set of tubes through which the engine coolant flows. Fins surround these tubes. When the radiator fails, the excess heat produced by the engine could damage the engine components. To prevent this from happening, have your radiator serviced regularly. To have your radiator needs handled by experts, visit Familia Automotive today.

Great place and friendly staff. We recently had a thermostat go out on our car and caused a damaged coolant tank. We took in our car and we're able to pin point the exact issue with the vehicle. We weren't able to come in and pick up the car on there normally operating hours but the owner who worked on our vehicle came in on his day off and helped us with everything. I plan to take all my vehicles there for future maintenance issues.

Excellent Service & Reasonable Prices! I would recommend Familia Automotive to anyone they replaced my AC compressor, and its freezing cold and it cools better now than it did when I first bought the car. I was so happy with the work I went back to have them replace my front shock system and they did a wonderful job smooth drive now. Always keeping me posted on everything taking videos taking pictures and explaining everything step by step along the way. I would recommend anybody to Familia Automotive there honest, reliable and have great prices and they don't try to upsell you on any extra work you don't need. You go to them to get your repairs done you won't be disappointed.

what our customers say
Familia Automotive is an outstanding place to have your car repaired. The owner makes you feel part of his family the second you walk in. I have never felt this with any of the other shops I have taken my car to. I felt comfortable asking questions and voicing my concerns. Familia Automotive fixed my car right the first time, told me to come back if there were any issues, and were very competitively priced and with better service. Highest praises for fixing my 1998 Saab Turbo 900 SE.
This is by far the best auto repair shop I've ever been to. Clint was amazing, friendly and efficient, I was referred by a friend and will happily refer my friends. The techs or Clint (the one I dealt with) was honest and did not try to up-sell me. He made me feel welcomed and explained everything he did. Great people!! and Clint!!
A family member of mine recommended familia automotive and i have not gone anywhere else since then. The owner Klent has great communication and explains exactly what needs work on your vehicle and why. He gives recommendations on where you can go if he does not have parts or services needed and best of all has great pricing. Best in Stockton!!
