Coral Trees, Sycamores and Santa Ana Leaves
Brentwood is one of the most heavily planted parts of the Westside. Coral trees run down the middle of San Vicente Boulevard, Mandeville and Sullivan canyons are lined with sycamores and oaks, and Brentwood Park sits under a full canopy. Cars park beneath those trees, and the Santa Ana winds in fall bring the leaves down all at once. That matters to a Porsche because of where Porsche puts its radiators.
A water-cooled 911, Boxster or Cayman carries its radiators low in the front corners, ahead of the wheels, with the A/C condensers mounted in front of them. Air reaches them through open or lightly screened intakes in the bumper. Leaves and grit are drawn in and drop between the condenser and the radiator, where they can't be seen from outside. They stay wet and hold that moisture against thin aluminum.
When the A/C Fails and Coolant Seeps
The metal corrodes from the bottom edge up. The condenser usually goes first, and the air conditioning stops cooling. Later the radiator seeps coolant at the same corner. Both are repairs we see on cars from under the Brentwood canopy, and both start with debris that a yearly clean-out would have removed.
On a Cayenne or Macan with a panoramic roof, the same leaves block the roof drains, and the water turns up in the footwells. Damp carpets can reach the wiring beneath them, so they are worth dealing with early. You can reach some of the bumper debris yourself with a vacuum and a narrow nozzle. What a vacuum can't reach usually needs the car on a lift, so bring it in and we'll evaluate it and give you a quote.
Down Bundy to Santa Monica Boulevard
Our shop is south and east of Brentwood, at 10527 Santa Monica Blvd in West Los Angeles. From Brentwood, Barrington Avenue or Bundy Drive runs south to Santa Monica Boulevard. Turn east under the 405, and we're about a mile on. From the Brentwood Country Mart on San Vicente the trip is short. We're open Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
We're independent and we work on Porsche only, every model line from the 911 and Boxster to the Cayenne and Panamera, with more than 30 years on the marque. Clearing the ducts once or twice a year is dull work that saves a condenser. When you call, tell us whether the A/C has gone warm or a footwell is wet. Then bring the car in and we'll evaluate it and give you a quote.
