Get Your Car's AC Compressor Repaired

 6 Verified Review(s)

At Darrell's Auto Service and Towing we know each component of your car's AC has a specific function. A cracked or damaged compressor can cause your car air conditioning to fail. Call today at 203-626-9741 and talk to one of our pro mechanics about repairing your car's AC compressor.

Replacing Your Car's AC Compressor

At Darrell's Auto Service and Towing we recommended that car owners replace the complete AC compressor assembly because the compressor replacement core operates under extreme physical pressure. The compressor is powered by a serpentine belt, which provides the energy needed to compress freon refrigerant to cool the car's cabin. Once compressed, the freon is in a volatile, high-pressure state. This pressure forces the liquid out of the compressor and through the cooling system.

What To Expect When Darrell's Auto Service and Towing In Wallingford Replaces Your AC Compressor
  • Darrell's Auto Service and Towing uses AC compressors that are durability-tested for high heat conditions.
  • We use a replacement kit assembly designed to meet or exceed OE function. It includes car AC compressor, accumulator and any needed expansion devices.
  • We use kits with a "Rapid Seal" designed specifically for your compressor. Darrell's Auto Service and Towing's pro mechanics know that even the smallest gaps can cause serious damage to your car's cooling system and engine.


what our customers say

My wife and I were planning to head home Monday morning and realized we had a tire problem about 8:30 AM. I called a couple of big box auto repair places and they all talked about appointments, I just hung up knowing I would be there all day. I called Darrell and the guy on the phone said bring it in. Candidly I was skeptical but I decided to roll the dice. When I got there the gentleman at the counter took no time to look at my tire, located the puncture. Within minutes he had the tire repaired and the pressure reset on the tire. I've been driving that tire everyday since without any issues. That included a 650 mile high speed trip to North Carolina. I couldn't believe how little I was charged, the service i received and the professionalism of the owner. If your looking for a GREAT SHOP you have to give Darrell,s a try.

My car was in the shop and I borrowed my mother's. It died on the highway and Geico was able to get me a tow much sooner than AAA. The driver arrived exactly when he told me he would, and was a very capable, nice, pleasant young man. Cody got into the car, which due to the mechanical issue, locked with the keys inside it and was very empathetic when I explained my issue of PTSD on highways, the result of an accident. He drove carefully, was a good conversationalist and was careful to check my taste in music. I would absolutely recommend this company. They were quick, efficient and have an excellent staff. Thank you!

Chris was very accommodating to make sure I had transportation available when the work on my truck was taking a lot longer than anticipated (Due to a third party diagnostic issue). Leon is awesome and very positive. I've been doing business here for years and will continue.

I had a really good experience, I would highly recommend anyone to use this company. My car was towed with great care, my lower ball joint were broken and I was concerned that they wouldn't be able to put the car on the tow truck. But Luis reassured me that it will be ok and was very polite. He treated my car like it was his.

I've been using Darrell's for 5+ years now. I wish I found them sooner! They're the best Auto Repair shop I've ever dealt with. They're reliable, trustworthy, VERY knowledgeable, and the entire crew are just "good people". They care about their customers and take an extreme amount of pride in what they do. Whether it's routine maintenance, or issues with your vehicle, you can absolutely TRUST they will do a great job. I have 3 children, with a couple older vehicles in the mix and they always make sure they're safe and road ready. For my newer vehicle, I'd been using a dealer for quite some time. After first going to Darrell's through a neighbor's recommendation, I found out the dealer wasn't providing nearly the same level of service that Darrell's does. They go above and beyond to make sure your vehicle is in the best shape possible. Thanks to Darrell, Chris, Leon, Lori and the entire crew!
