Restore Your Vehicle’s Cooling & Heating Power

Florida’s heat is no joke — and neither is a broken A/C system. At 1st Performance Automotive, we provide expert car AC repair in Apopka, FL, to keep you cool in summer and warm when temperatures drop. Whether your air conditioner is blowing warm air or your heater isn’t working, we’ll diagnose the issue and fix it fast.



Our ASE-certified team works on all makes and models, offering honest diagnostics, fair pricing, and high-quality repairs for your vehicle’s air conditioning and heating systems.

Full-Service Auto HVAC Repair

Your car’s heating and cooling system is made up of several components that need to work together to deliver comfort. When something breaks down — even a small part — the entire system can struggle or stop working altogether.


We service all major HVAC components, including:

Air conditioning compressors

SUV on a car lift.

Condensers and evaporators

Auto AC Recharge & Leak Detection

Over time, your vehicle’s refrigerant levels drop due to usage or leaks. If your A/C is blowing warm air, it might just need a recharge.



At 1st Performance Automotive, we provide:

  • Full A/C system evacuation and recharge

  • Leak detection using dye or electronic tools

  • Refrigerant level testing

  • Pressure tests and performance evaluation

  • System sealing (if safe and appropriate)

We use EPA-compliant refrigerant handling procedures and get your A/C cooling like it should — fast.

Heating System Repair & Diagnostics

Cold mornings or fogged-up windows? Your heater might not be doing its job. The heating system uses heat from the engine to warm your cabin — and if something fails in that system, you’ll feel it right away.



We handle:

  • Heater core replacements

  • Thermostat repair

  • Blower motor service

  • Control panel and switch diagnostics

  • Coolant system inspections (tied to heat performance)

If your heat isn’t keeping up, we’ll find out why and fix it before it becomes an expensive coolant or engine problem.
