Recharge The AC Freon In Your Car Or Truck

GARAGE 47 > The Best Auto Repair And Maintenance Services > AC REPAIR > RECHARGING YOUR CAR'S AC

Your truck or car's AC system is almost completely airtight, but your freon refrigerant is always slowly leaking out. Eventually, a car will lose enough freon so that its air conditioning system will no longer cool effectively. At Garage 47 at 4701 El Camino Ave, we are ready to recharge your AC to help you keep your car or truck's cabin temperature cool.

"Help My AC Only Blows Warm Air!"

New advancements in R134a freon systems means that freon in newer cars doesn't leak out as much as old R12 freon systems. The average new model economy car only leaks about 0.41 ounces of refrigerant per year. Come to Garage 47 in Carmichael when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Garage 47's Fast 3 Step Process:

Vacuum out all the old refrigerant before refilling it.
Add new R134a refrigerant.
Pressurize your car's AC system and test for mico-leaks.

"Does Garage 47 Have R12 Freon For My Classic Car?"

Unfortunately R12 freon is no longer available. If your car or truck was made before 1994 you must convert your entire AC system to the new R134a standard. This involves replacing dozens of seals and several AC auto parts. R134a is a more highly pressurized and much more efficient refrigerant pound for pound than R12. Most classic car AC compressors and condensers cannot withstand the intense pressure required and choose to add about 25% less freon to accommodate older systems. This means your AC may not cool as well as it used to. Converting your R12 system to R134a is a big job so stop by Garage 47 today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 4701 El Camino Ave,.

"Is Used Freon Ok?"

Many auto repair shops resell used AC refrigerant. The old freon is cleaned using a specialized recovery machine that removes contaminants. Used freon provided by Garage 47 works just as well as new freon after it's cleaned. Accepting used freon is a great way to help minimize the impact freon has on the environment.

Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in Carmichael are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call 916-972-1872 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 4701 El Camino Ave, and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

I highly recommend Garage 47 for your auto maintenance needs! Let me first start off by saying I love the name of this business. I was drawn by the awesome reviews this place received and had to give them a call. My check light engine came on and had to take my car to an auto mechanic place that I can trust! And I absolutely found a place not only I can trust, but a place I plan on taking my car in for its needs for now on! Guy, if you are reading this, you are such an amazing guy (no pun intended!). As soon as I walked in you had a warm presence. You took my concerns serious which makes you different from the rest. This man really cares about his customers. He showed me everything that was wrong with my car and even gave me a run down of what could happen if I don’t take care of the urgent maintenance right away. I absolutely loved how Guy called me to tell me that they’ve found something else wrong with my car during the service. He asked me if I wanted that to be worked on instead of them working on it without my knowledge. He wanted to make sure I was ok with it. I thought that was very thoughtful and caring. Guy only focuses on what your car actually needs which is what I love. The whole process took only a few hours. His crew were also nice. Everyone makes you feel comfortable. Guy, you have gained yourself a new customer! Thank you so much for being concerned of any questions I had and taking good care of my car as it was being serviced. Thank you Garage 47 crew! If you’re looking for a very reliable caring mechanic, then look no further and give them a call!

Went in for an oil change and ended up getting a brake fluid & coolant system flush as well. The picture of my brake fluid showed it was in bad shape and it supposedly was flushed last year by the dealer. I feel I can trust Guy, the operations manager, and his crew to be honest and do only what my car needs and actually do the work! The prices were lower than the dealer as well. I was waiting and my car was ready in 2 hours. I have waited that long for only an oil change at the dealer. I am happy I tried Garage 47 and definitely will return for future service.
