Common Reasons Drivers Book This Appointment
Not sure if your issue needs a diagnosis? Here's a quick explanation for common symptoms. For the complete diagnostic breakdown of every AC symptom, see the Car AC Repair Specialists Toronto hub.
AC Blowing Warm Air — The most common complaint. Could be a refrigerant leak, failed compressor, restricted TXV, damaged condenser, or HVAC control fault — we test before recommending a recharge.
AC Not Working At All — No cold air at any setting could mean a failed compressor, low refrigerant triggering a safety cutoff, an electrical fault, or a seized clutch.
AC Cold Then Warm (Intermittent) — Cools for a while then fails — often a TXV sticking closed, moisture in the system, or a compressor clutch cycling fault. See Intermittent AC Diagnosis.
AC Only Works on the Highway — Cools at speed but fails at idle — typically a weak condenser fan, a partially restricted condenser, or a borderline low charge.
Musty or Mouldy Smell — Usually mould or bacteria on the evaporator core, not a refrigerant issue. Treatable with proper evaporator and cabin filter service.
Noise, Rusted Lines, or Warm on One Side — Clicking, squealing, hissing, rusted AC lines, or one side warm all point to specific, diagnosable causes — see the full diagnostic hub.
What to Expect to Pay
AC repair costs vary because the failure can be anything from a $150 recharge to a $1,500 compressor replacement. The diagnosis is what tells us — and you — exactly what's needed.

Booking FAQ
Can I get a same-day AC repair appointment?
Same-day appointments are often available, particularly during the spring and summer AC season. Book online above or call (416) 742-4521 to check same-day availability.
How long does an AC diagnosis take?
A full AC diagnosis — pressure testing, leak detection, compressor and electrical checks — typically takes under an hour, though this can vary depending on what the initial testing shows.
Do I need to know what's wrong before I book?
No. Just describe what you're noticing — warm air, noise, smell, intermittent cooling — and Radman will diagnose the actual cause. You don't need to self-diagnose before booking.
Does the diagnosis fee count toward the repair?
No. The $135 A/C pressure and leak test is a separate diagnostic charge and is not credited toward the repair.
Is a loaner vehicle available while my car is being repaired?
Yes, loaner vehicles are available — ask when you book if you'll need one for your appointment.

Alex is a great guy. He took the time to respond by phone and walk me through my options for my Tesla Model Y 2024 and gave me his perspectives as a Tesla owner. Top recommendation in my books for the Toronto area.
I cannot say enough good things about Livio and the team at Radman Auto Repair in Rexdale. We brought in my son’s 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer because the A/C was malfunctioning. We had already been to two other shops, paid for diagnostics, and received different explanations, so we were frustrated and unsure what to do next.
Livio was outstanding. He listened carefully, looked at the issue, and explained everything clearly and in detail in a way that actually made sense. He was able to narrow down what was going on within minutes, without guessing, pressure, or recommending unnecessary work. What really stood out was that he did not charge us another diagnostic fee after learning we had already paid for two separate diagnoses.
Even better, the work was completed the same day, which was a huge relief. It is rare to find a mechanic who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, efficient, and genuinely focused on helping customers understand the real issue before they spend money on repairs.
Livio truly gets it. We are so happy we found Radman Auto Repair and would highly recommend Livio and his team to anyone looking for trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused service..
My 2015 Honda CR-V was blowing hot air and making noise when the A/C was on. The Compressor and Expansion valve needed replacement due to metal debris in the system.
I rarely write reviews, but I felt it would be wrong not to appreciate Radman for their service, especially after what I went through before finding them.
I’m writing this one month after the repair because I wanted to test my A/C on multiple long trips before recommending them.
One thing I learned from this experience is that many mechanics know how to replace parts, but very *few follow the right procedures* and perform the proper checks. I initially went for a cheaper repair at a local mechanic. The problem came back, and afterward he didn’t seem to know what to do next.
I found Radman through Google reviews without any personal recommendation, so I was taking a chance. They properly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly before starting the work, didn’t exaggerate the problem, and charged me a reasonable price. A/C issues can be complicated but they answered all my questions and I honestly haven’t had such a good and detailed conversation with a mechanic in the GTA about an A/C problem. Their knowledge and experience with A/C systems really stood out.
I also had a catalytic converter issue. Another mechanic simply recommended replacing it, which would have cost at least $2,000. Radman explained that considering the age and condition of my 2015 CR-V, such an expensive replacement might not make sense. They gave me the replacement cost but also suggested trying Cataclean first. I tried it, and so far I haven’t had any issues.
After a month and several long trips, my A/C is still working well. It’s rare to find this combination of knowledge, transparency, and honesty.
Thank you, Radman, for the knowledgeable and honest service. I genuinely appreciate it.
I fix my cars myself but I always go to Radman for AC work. Been coming here for years and they do great work and are fairly priced. The guys are honest and reliable. Very clean waiting room too!
Finding a mechanic who actually understands EVs and is completely trustworthy is hard to come by, but Radman Repair is excellent. The service was top-notch, they explained everything to me with so much patience, and the overall experience was a 10/10. 100% recommended!
