Air Conditioning and Climate Control System Repair in Salisbury, MD
Has the outside temperature begun to take its toll on your car’s interior? Get air conditioning and climate control repairs at the Service Department here at Pohanka Volkswagen of Salisbury! Let's unpack what you stand to gain by staying on top of this service.
Air Conditioning
The climate control system in your Volkswagen Taos, Tiguan, or Jetta works by raising or lowering the temperature in your cabin. However, the heating and air conditioning systems function a bit differently. To chill the interior of your car, it condenses refrigerant in coils under the hood. Then, the cold air around the condenser is pumped into your seating area with a series of fans and vents. Heating your car involves using excess warmth from the engine to power a heater core near your dashboard. If any of the aforementioned parts have failed, you will find that it will be difficult to get your cabin to the proper temperature during a trip to Schumaker Park. This can lead to great discomfort, especially when outside weather conditions become extreme in Salisbury.
Warning Signs
You won’t often find a dashboard warning light that tells you the air conditioner is in need of service. This means it’s largely up to you to watch for warning signs. One way to tell that you should visit our nearby location is if you smell a sweet odor from the vents. This often means that there is a coolant leak, which can negatively affect the HVAC system. Also, if the air conditioner is set to a low temperature and warm wind consistently pumps through the vents, it’s likely time for a new refrigerant. Weak fans or low air pressure can mean that the cabin filter is clogged. Visit us to quickly fix this problem!
Repairs
When the time comes to get air conditioning and climate control repairs, set up an appointment with our skilled technicians. We have factory-trained experts who can reliably inspect your car and diagnose the issue you have been experiencing on Highway 50. The cabin filter should be swapped every 15,000 to 30,000 miles to ensure proper airflow and to prevent contaminants from entering your breathing space. Also, the coolant and refrigerant should be changed at regular intervals, as specified in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. If any parts need to be replaced, we will use genuine OEM components that you can rely on for the long haul.
HVAC Warning Signs
- Low air pressure from vents
- Hissing or whining noise
- Wrong air temperature
- Sweet odor from vents

Testimonials
Pohanka Volkswagon was amazing!
Thank you Jason, you made our day!
“ Midway on our 3 hour trip to Ocean City our Tiguan began shaking when accelerating. We called Pohanka Volkswagen and spoke with Jason. He told us to come right in. Driving slowly, we arrived and Jason thought he might know the problem. He got us right in and after diagnostics they fixed the problem. It took some time but the even better news was that it was under warranty so there was no charge. I can't express my gratitude to Jason for his help, I've never experienced this kind of prompt service at any other dealership. Jason was the best!! Thank you Jason, you made our day! ”

Thank you Sherrie Haynes for making this experience worthwhile!
“ I went to Pohanka just to visit a friend working there since I was in town. Had no intentions of trading my vehicle at this time but conversation quickly turned into what kind of vehicle do I want to look at. Later that evening I left driving a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan. Thank you Sherrie Haynes for making this experience worthwhile! Thank you for allowing to go to my grandson’s birthday party and to return to finish this purchase. ”
Pohanka VW did an excellent job getting my husband and I into a new vehicle with a lower payment
“ Pohanka VW did an excellent job getting my husband and I into a new vehicle with a lower payment, and even helped us get the best deal for our trade. We are so pleased. We have bought 6 vehicles from Pohanka over the last 10 years and he was the most efficient salesperson thus far! Aside from his talent, Kingdom just exudes good vibes and a positive, professional attitude. We will definitely see him again soon! ”
The process was super easy from beginning to end.
“ Elizabeth and Hunter were fantastic in arranging a great price for our wonderful car. The process was super easy from beginning to end. Buy with absolute confidence from this dealership. I know you will not be disappointed in the honesty of all involved in buying a great car at a fair price. I live in North Carolina and I saw the used Mustang for sale on the Internet. I called and spoke to Elizabeth who without hesitation took video of the car and addressed its condition and features without any exaggerations. I decided to initiate a contact on-line to hold the vehicle for my arrival. They picked us up at the local airport and after a test drive we completed the purchase. The Finance Manager got us a great interest rate and warranty. This was the easiest and best out of state purchase we have ever accomplished. Thanks to all at this great dealership ”

This is a great place to do business with. Thanks again! ”

I absolutely love this dealership
“ I absolutely love this dealership. They are super clean, state of the art materials, and usually very quick for things like oil changes! I got there today at 7:00 AM and I left around 9:30. My only issue with this place today was that the mechanic did not communicate to my service writer that my update was taking longer than expected due to a system malfunction. However, Stephen did exactly what he said he would do, he was very polite, very professional, and very understanding of my plight. He accommodated me and gave me a few dollars off for my inconvenience so I am very happy. I drive from Baltimore Maryland to go to this dealership because I have never been to a more professional Volkswagen dealer. I’m closest to the Volkswagen on Baltimore national pike in Catonsville, but I do not like how they operate therefore, I drive to Salisbury for the BEST service. ❤️ thanks again Steven ”
