Air Conditioning Service and Repair

When is Service or Repair Necessary?

  • When ever you notice any issues in performance. (i.e. not cooling)

What Does Service Include?

  • In depth inspection of lines and hoses.
  • Test and record the systems high and low pressure readings.
  • Check and record the temperature of the air from the air conditioning vents at maximum cool setting.
  • Freon cleansing; because freon is harmful to the environment, we take special care to use the proper recovery machines to ensure that none of the material escapes during service.

Special Considerations The Environmental Protection Agency determined that Freon known as R-12 or CFC-12 was damaging the ozone layer and stopped production of the material. Now R-12 Freon is hard to find and very expensive. Although most vehicles produced before 1995 use R-12 in their air conditioning systems our Technicians can retrofit your vehicle to the new approved R134a. R134a is a more environmentally friendly freon. This retrofit is more cost effective than attempting to repair the older systems. R134a Retrofit Service

  • Case by case evaluation on what will be needed.
  • R-12 Freon is recovered along with the R-12 oil and properly disposed according to EPA regulations.
  • The system is flushed.
  • Install the R134a retrofit kit (a small number of vehicles may require different seals and hoses).
  • Evacuate and recharge the system with R134a freon and compatible oil.
  • Install mandatory retrofit labeling.
