Auto A/C Repair FAQ
1) How do I know if my AC needs a recharge or a repair?
If cooling is weak or intermittent, pressures and leak checks determine whether it’s a simple recharge or a component repair (compressor, condenser, etc.).
2) Can you service newer refrigerants (R-1234yf) and older R-134a systems?
Yes—we’re equipped for R-1234yf and R-134a with the correct machines, fittings, oils, and procedures.
3) How long does an AC recharge take?
Most recharges take about one service visit. If a leak or part failure is found, we’ll provide a same-day estimate and timeline.
4) Is an AC recharge a permanent fix?
A recharge restores performance, but the cause (like a leak) must be fixed for lasting results. We always test and advise before recharging.
5) Do you work on dual-zone and rear AC systems?
Absolutely. We diagnose and repair single, dual-zone, and rear evaporator systems found in SUVs, vans, and passenger vehicles.
