A/C and HEating Service
The importance of AC auto repair has surged in recent times. In modern times it is becoming increasingly important to have working air conditioning and heating in your car. Why is that? As Canadian summers get hotter and winters get longer, having a working A/C unit can make all the difference between a lovely road trip with your family and drowning in your own sweat. Additionally, having a working heating unit in your car is imperative when it’s 6AM and you need to get to work in a snow storm.
Your car’s A/C and heating units need regular maintenance in order to function properly. These essential features are composed of many parts, all of which are susceptible to failure.
Bring your car in to CRS Automotive for an A/C and heating inspection, and let us make sure you are comfortable and set up for all seasons. Our technicians are notoriously thorough and will make sure your A/C and heating units work as optimally as possible. We can identify and address issues before they become a real problem, and we only use the highest quality parts for our replacement services.
When to Bring in Your Car
You should bring in your car for regular A/C and heating unit inspections, however there are certain things that can indicate it’s time to bring in your car for a performance check. Some of the signs include:
- Your A/C only blowing mildly cooler air than the outside temperature.
- Your units not working unless the vehicle is being driven.
- Blown air that has an odour
- Defroster not functioning
…among others. If your A/C or heating units are not performing their respective functions optimally, it may be time to get them inspected.
What Does the A/C and Heating Inspection Entail?
The point of a performance check and inspection is to assess every part of the A/C and heating units, and also as how well they are working as a whole. Inspections are incredibly thorough and they include things like:
- Inspecting refrigerant leaks.
- Finding system part malfunctions and other damages.
- Inspecting the A/C compressor belt.
- Making sure that the A/C pressure aligns with manufacturer specifications.
- Measuring vent air temperature.
- Condenser inspection.
…just to name a few. If you come into CRS Automotive, our team will make sure your AC runs like new and will last you as long as possible at peak performance.
What A/C and Heating Parts Can You Service?
Our diagnosis and repair services include specific repairs such as serpentine belt and radiator servicing, and more frequently refrigerant refill or reconfiguration.
The serpentine belt’s job is to connect the engine to the anterior accessories, as well as keep the entire system cool.
Since the serpentine belt is constantly in motion while the vehicle is driving, it is prone to wear and tear and thus should be examined at regular intervals.
Your car’s radiator is crucial in heat displacement from the engine, and it is part of a system where each part must perform its designated job in order to keep you safe. If the engine overheats it can cause several unwanted issues and jeopardise the car’s ability to function. At CRS Automotive we can service your radiator frequently to ensure this doesn’t happen.
Refrigerant servicing is one of the most common A/C services people bring their car in for. It’s important to remember that there are different refrigerant types that cars can use and these DO NOT mix! Knowing if your car uses R-12, R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant is essential for a speedy service.
So, if you are looking to make sure your car is set this summer, bring it in to CRS Automotive today for professional A/C and Heating services, this will include a diagnostic and repair service.
We are located only 4 min walking South West of Tim Hortons Field and 4 min walk West of Bernie Morelli Recreation Centre.

Recent Review & Rating
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a client of CRS since 2018 when I moved to Oakville and they had a shop nearby. When they moved to Hamilton, I followed them despite still living in Oakville. Their honesty, integrity, professionalism, and friendliness are rare to find with a mechanic shop, and those are the qualities that keep me as a client. They do excellent work, and I’ve never been disappointed with same.Posted on Julian and S HusbandsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Definitely recommend for your car service.Posted on Steven McConnellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Testimonial for CRS Automotive I had just reserved my first service ever at CRS Automotive but, the day before my service was scheduled, my car spun out on an icy 407 highway and my car’s rear bumper gently bumped the guard rail and knocked off my muffler and exhaust pipe. So I called CRS Automotive to ask if I could get my car towed to their shop today instead of bring it in tomorrow and they not only made room in their schedule, when the tow truck arrived, they took me in right away, did my oil change and repaired my exhaust system. The quality of service was very impressive, and the prices were very reasonable. I would highly refer any friend or relative to CRS Automotive in Hamilton for automotive service.

They were able to fix an issue in one day where another garage was looking for multiple days and had no luck figuring out the issuePosted on Andrew CemkaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super friendly; helped me with a last minute tire issuePosted on julie boudreauTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience at CRS Auto and would absolutely recommend them. I brought my car in with concerns about poor fuel economy and multiple brake and safety warning lights. While the initial inspection itself was a visual/mechanical check (about an hour), what really stood out was the time and care they took afterward to explain everything in detail. I ended up staying close to two hours total, and a large part of that was spent having a thoughtful, productive discussion about the car, possible causes, and realistic next steps. They checked for brake drag, reviewed the brake fluid level, and explained how system sensitivity can sometimes trigger multiple warnings without there being a major mechanical failure. They topped up the brake fluid at no extra charge, and all warning indicators cleared immediately. There was zero upselling, no pressure to authorize unnecessary work, and no dismissiveness — just clear explanations and honest guidance. For $59.90 + tax, I got far more value than expected. They were extremely transparent, not pushy at all, and genuinely generous with their time and knowledge. That level of honesty and patience is rare. If you’re looking for a shop that’s straightforward, trustworthy, and actually wants you to understand your car, CRS Auto is absolutely worth your time. I’ll definitely be back.Posted on Himothy -
