Auto A/C Repair FAQ
1) How do I know if I need an A/C recharge or a repair?
If the system is low, a recharge helps—but low refrigerant means there’s a leak. We’ll test, repair the leak, then recharge to factory spec so cold air actually lasts.
2) Do you work with the newer R1234yf refrigerant?
Yes. We have dedicated R1234yf equipment and the correct oils, fittings, and recovery process to stay compliant and protect your system.
3) How long does an A/C diagnosis and recharge take?
Diagnosis is typically 60–90 minutes; repairs vary by part. A standard, leak-free recharge often completes same day.
4) Can I just add a DIY can of refrigerant?
We don’t recommend it. Overcharging, mixed refrigerants, and the wrong oil can damage compressors and void warranties. Proper evacuation, vacuum hold, and measured recharge are key.
5) Do you service luxury, hybrid, and EV A/C systems?
Absolutely—all makes & models including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Tesla, Toyota/Lexus hybrids, etc. We use the correct non-conductive POE oils where required.
