Great shop--honest, direct, and knowledgeable. No upselling or misleading, just straight answers. Jose took great care of me. I brought in my Fisker Ocean to check the A/C for a possible leak, and they did exactly what I requested--nothing more, nothing less. Really appreciate the professionalism. Highly recommend. read more

My evaporator core had a leak and I was struggling to find somewhere that the price was reasonable and a place that I trusted. I wanted to get my AC fixed before summer hit! I went to 3 places and this is the place I chose. Thanks to José I felt comfortable to bring my car there. The price was VERY reasonable and they did a great job. It is a very labor intensive job and they got it done way faster than I expected which was great. I felt like José was very honest with the diagnosis and price and that's hard to find sometimes being a women walking into these places sometimes. 10/10 would come back if I had anymore AC issues and would recommend to anyone. Thanks again! read more

Great prices. I came in for a compressor however they diagnosed and realize it was something else. Glad I came really helpful folks.

Was recommended the shop by two other mechanic shops I normally go to. I came by a month and a half ago with pictures of my AC compressor with hoses and asked for a price for a rebuild and they quoted me anywhere from 150 to 250.... I bring in the same AC clutch of hoses today and he now quoted me $550-$600...... literally three times the price he originally quoted. To be fair it wasn't the original Guy spoke to so I asked him. Why was I quoted differently and he said that I was lying about the original quote.... So do yourself a favor record them (if you still trust him to rebuild your stuff and not over price you) I drove about 40 minutes one way to come to this place.... I would not recommend the shop. I called the two shops who recommended this place and asked them if $600 for a rebuild sounds right and both shops told me that is absolutely outrageous pricing, that they get their parts fixed there for about $250-$300... I don't know what scam the shop is conducting, but be careful you guys. I have an update. I found a brand new AC compressor from Amazon for $232, and I found the hose lines for $80. So basically $330 compared to $600 for a remanufactured AC compressor..... I can provide receipts in photographs to show my proof of purchases. This shop is officially a rip off. read more

AC Exchange Auto Air Conditioning - Auto Repair Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Thank you for a quick estimate. I am glad they were able to find out the root cause of my ford expedition ac issues. Repair was quick!

My air conditioner stopped working. I went in on Saturday and got a diagnostic done. I needed my condenser replaced. They were honest, reasonable priced and got the car fixed right away. I will recommend them to anyone. They did a great job! read more

Fraudsters! I took my 4Runner in because AC was not blowing cold. I received a call back within 1 hour telling me I needed a evaporator at $1,500 . I took it to friends mechanic $300 my AC was blowing cold. It needed New Fill Valve Stems and Freon. I do not recommend these crooks. read more

Converted my 1993 Mercedes 190e system from R12 to R134a same day, my AC is blowing brand new. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to convert. read more

I came here September 2023 to get my compressor replaced and I have had bone chilling ac since. Now in December 2024 I brought my car in to have the heater fixed, they gave me the option to replace the radiator completely and its clogged pipes or flush it out and save some money. We went with save some money and it ended up being at least 3 or more flushes and a lot of work for them but now the heater is as hot as an oven. My ac stopped working after I got it back from the heater repair but they were able to take it back in the next day and solved the issue for free no questions asked. This is the right place to go to for all your car AC and Heater needs. Thank you José and all the technicians who took the time to get my car working like new. Will definitely refer friends and family here. read more

Beware: They changed the price for estimate upon arrival. Not the place to consider for future business. From 35$ to 75$ estimate. Not an honest business read more

Drive up, zero parking, trying to communicate with head guy at counter, had zero people skills, attitude to start off, really set me off, shut my mouth, how much, he says 75 to test, which don't get counted into price & if you use them it's a extra charge of 145.00 plus. Already didn't trust him, ended going to Firestone on Brookhurst & Westminster for a 45 dollar check & they count it into bill, bigger name, extra protection better price, a lot friendlier with extrem amounts of parking, plus there a small shopping center with restaurants & Starbucks on corner a whole lot 1,000% better place to be, definitely spending my money there minus the serreno Vato attitude!!!!! read more

I returned to AC Exchange for an inspection because the new AC compressor they installed was not working. They informed me the compressor was defective and suggested I pay for another repair. Manager J~ claimed that they replaced it with a new unit; however, after verifying with the supplier, I learned there is no record of this part being sold to AC Exchange in the past two years. I strongly suspect that a used part was installed instead of a new one, so I filed a complaint demanding documented proof. So far, I have received no response. If AC Exchange intends to replace the AC compressor, be sure to personally confirm that a new compressor is actually being installed in your vehicle. read more

Fixed the ac on a Mercedes I bought. Took a few days since the part had to be special ordered. Since getting the car back it's definitely been my most driven car since the ac is so good read more

AC Exchange Auto Air Conditioning - Auto Repair Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Fast diagnosis and repair. We were looking for a place where auto air conditioning is their specialty. Fixed our air for a reasonable fee. Our compressor had quit. As you know here in CA we need air conditioning for many days...even during the winter months. José was helpful and friendly. This repair came with a 6 month warranty. Hopefully, this is a permanent fix. Seems to be working well. Will update if there are any issues....don't expect any as José told us to bring it back if we have any issues. Parking is limited as it is a small street. read more

My AC wasn't blowing cold air anymore. Jose was able to figure out the problem and replace the AC compressor. Pricing is competitive and service is excellent. Definitely coming back here if needed! read more

I brought my Lexus GX 460 here during the heat wave a few weeks back. The turn around for getting my AC back up and running surpassed my expectations! I had my car back within 24 hours and the cost was more than reasonable and fair! Quality work for a great price! read more

Very professional and looks out for the customer. Went to Chevy 3 times for the same issue and was fixed in 1 day and works perfectly

I write my reviews as a person that doesn't want anything but kind courteous service, prompt service without attitude and I'm giving a positive rating. With that being said, service here sucks, they did a good job recharging my A/C and the price was great, but the woman at the front counter is horrible I'm sure the management doesn't care about the level service anyway but geez she's miserable. read more

Called early Morning to see if they were available got an answer right away Best guy out there was in and out for a recharge in 20 min!

Satisfied with the speed and repair of our AC compressor. Within an hour of dropping my car off, they called to let me know the cost before they did any repair after finding out my compressor was shot. It is a rebuilt compressor and they have a 6 month warranty so I'm good with that. I dropped the car off around 9:30am and had it back by 1:30pm. Now I'm ready for summer with an AC again on my 2015 Subaru! read more

Cheap, fast, got work done in a day. Ac is freezing my finger while I drive. Great work.

To all, AC exchange is a worst place in town I have met. If you have gone to this shop then you are in bad luck! My AC service was done here 4 times within one year for the same problem, I would rate negative if I could instead of "0" star. read more

We had our Honda AC repaired here. The owner was very helpful and pointed out it was recalled item which was warranty by factory. Strongely recommend to have your car AC repaired here. They did the good job. read more

Best A/C service shop in South Orange County. I have been working with Alan and Jose for now over 8 years. They have serviced and converted to R134s all the Porsche and Mercedes l am shipping to Europe read more

AC Exchange Auto Air Conditioning - Auto Repair Near Me - Garden Grove, California

See all

If you have any auth A/C related issues, go to this spot right here. Jose is the man when it comes to these repairs. He's humble and knows how to run a business. It only took about 30-40 min to run a diagnosis. When I went to Honda dealership for my Honda Fit, it took them about 2 hours just figure what was going with my A/C. Once they had the diagnosis, estimate cost of repairs and to get a new condenser would have been almost $1000. They still had to order the part. When I went to Jose at AC Exchange Auto Air Conditioning, it was less than $600 and he already had the condenser. I learned my lesson for sure to check out local mechanics and not just rely on the dealership's shops. They do a good job as well, but they cost more. I think it has to do with the type of business they run. They employ more employees, they have front desk and a bigger shop. I'm sure those things are accounted for in costs. Whereas AC Exchange Auto Air Conditioning is smaller, local business, it has one front desk person and most of the time you speak to the mechanic. I recommend this place 100%. read more

1 week after the 1-year warranty expired. AC only works at freeway speeds. Will be bringing it in and updating review.

My AC hasn't worked in almost 2 years. My mechanic pretty much advised to the purchase all new oem parts that included a new compressor, condenser and high pressure valve for almost $1200. I decided to browse through yelp and took a risk to call AC Exchange. Quang answered and welcomed my business by first having me sign some paperwork to diagnose my issue for $45. Jose said that the radiator fan and service valve needs to be changed along with a freon re-charge for $395! I gladly agreed and the process took about 3 hours. One thing I learned from this is to always get a second opinion especially if its not their specialty. My AC blows ice cold now thanks to AC exchange. There is a 6,000 mile guarantee included. Will update review in the next 6 months. read more

Profesional work, honest prices and they honor their warranties, what else could you want!

I had taken my Car to the dealer and was told I needed work that included the Actuator and other repairs on my Air-conditioner. The dealer service writer told that cost would be $1,565. I saw AC Air-conditioning advertised on the internet and really liked all the fantastic feedback I had rear and decided to give AC a try. The first person I met was Joe and he told me exactly what the diagnostic breakdown of the AC would consist of and the minimal charge for the breakdown of the AC. Joe and his service technicians did not find anything wrong with the AC nor was I charge for any service charges Most honest and best auto repair shop I have ever been too for servicing. Thanks to a very honest and sincere Joe. read more

This is the best AC place in Orange County! Everyone is very kind and professional. You can't beat the prices and the service is 10/10. 100% recommend. Jose is the one who helped me out and he did an amazing job! read more

This place is great! Excellent service and very reasonable prices. Jose was professional and friendly. Our Toyota Venza's AC issue was repaired the same day and ready when he said it would be. Cost was 300+ less than Toyota Place on Trask Avenue and the service was 1000 times better. Great job. Oh, if you need a comfy lounge, free Wi-Fi, shuttle service and a latte while you wait this isn't the place for you. But if you need an honest answer and an equally honest price you'll be very happy :) read more

If you are willing to pay $125 for car examination, this is the place to go. They charged me &125 to examine my AC and although they rebuild it last year, they want to charge $600 again for rebuild. They only offer 6 month warranty for building your AC because they know it will breakdown again in less than a year. Safe your money and go somewhere else. read more

Went in to get ac repair as it was blowing warm air and they broke my sunroof. Now it won't close. When I brought this up they of course denied everything and don't take any responsibilities and try to blame me for it. When I dropped off the car the sunroof was closed, when I picked it up it was opened and now won't close. Now it's going to cost $2k to fix. Not trustworthy. Stay away. read more

I normally don't do reviews but this place is amazing! The attitude of everyone is so welcoming and patient! I've checked out many places around Orange County for efficient service and the best pricing and this is the one! Being a woman, it's easy for shops to try and get the most out of me and "fix other things that need to be fixed", but I can tell from experience that they're genuine and honest! That is something I noticed about them when I first started coming here. Especially Jose! He has been nothing but kind and patient with me! 100% recommend to come here, all my friends and family I recommended all had an amazing experience too read more

AS GOOD AS IT GETS.....when its time to fix your AC this place rules. first class all the way. Jose gives you the personal service and info you need to get things done. Al took the time to let me know how to maintain and keep the AC going on all my older vehicles. they do not overcharge you at AC Exchange...its fair. they also got me home, and later even delivered the vehicle to me.....great company to work with, totally COOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My grandmother, my mother, and I all come to AC Exchange for all of our auto air conditioning problems. Although my auto mechanic is the most cost effective and trustworthy professional in the industry, even his estimates to fix my car's a/c does not compete with AC Exchange. AC Exchange identifies exactly what parts of the auto a/c needs fixing and quickly solves the problem at the most cost effective price. If you are looking for skilled auto a/c mechanics who will fix your car's a/c at the cheapest price for quality work done quickly, look no further than AC Exchange. Just as my grandmother recommended this shop to my mom, and my mom to me, I recommend paying this shop a visit--especially if you received another auto a/c estimate you think is too expensive! read more

Honest and fair. Thanks, Jose. Marcos de la Cruz read more

Jose was great to work with. Got my car in and out on a Saturday morning and fixed my A/C. Working great now.

My AC wasn't working so I brought it to a nearby shop thinking It's just a Freon leak but I was wrong. The compressor was dead so they recommended AC Exchange. Brought it to the shop in the morning and met Jose. Left my car, and shortly thereafter, they called and to let me know the compressor is burned out and needs to be replaced. They gave me a reasonable price and late afternoon, my car was ready! They're very professional, honest, knowledgeable and efficient. Thank you Jose and staff! You guys are very highly recommended! read more

Jose and the team are amazing! I brought in my 2015 Subaru Forester that had an issue with the AC intermittently going in and out and finally completely off. I was recommended by a friend and these guys did not miss! Got a courtesy call from Jose explaining what he had found and what might be the issue. I said yeah, go ahead with the repair. A couple of days later, my car is ready for pick up and we can go on trips again with nice cold AC! Thanks AC exchange team read more
