- Your car's AC blows air only slightly cooler than the outside temperature.
- Unpleasant mildew and mold odors emanate from your AC vents.
- The AC functions only while the vehicle is in motion.

- Water condenses or drips onto your foot while driving.

Sometimes, resolving a malfunctioning air conditioner is as simple and cost-effective as replenishing the coolant.

Common Automotive AC Repair Services
1234YF Vehicle AC Refrigerant
Our facility is equipped to handle a variety of auto AC repair services, including the latest 1234YF freon recharge for your car, truck, or jeep. This refrigerant, mandatory in all vehicle AC systems manufactured after 2021, offers an environmentally friendly way to keep your vehicle's cabin cool.
Recharging Your Car's AC
If your vehicle's AC begins to lose its cooling efficiency, consider a freon recharge. This quick and cost-effective solution restores cool air, providing relief from the heat. Be aware that if there's a freon leak, it could be due to a damaged hose or seal, which might require more extensive auto AC repairs.
Repair Your Car's AC Compressor
The AC compressor is central to cooling your vehicle, performing several critical functions: it pressurizes the refrigerant to cool the air, regulates the temperature output, detects temperature changes, and channels air to the AC condenser.
Repair Your Car's AC Condenser
Located near the radiator, the AC condenser is crucial for cooling the refrigerant after compression. This component helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature by converting the refrigerant into a cooled liquid.
Repair Your Car's AC Evaporator
The evaporator is key to your car's air conditioning system. It cools and dehumidifies the air before it flows through the cabin, ensuring a comfortable environment inside your vehicle during the warmer months.
Thermal Expansion Valve Replacement
The Thermal Expansion Valve or Orifice Tube is essential for regulating your AC system's pressure and temperature, controlling the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator. Proper balance prevents moisture build-up, crucial for maintaining your vehicle's AC efficiency.
Freon Recharging FAQs
How often should Freon be changed?
Never, at least not in the way you think of your oil being changed. Your car's AC system is a sealed unit. No new Freon needs to be added unless there's a refrigerant leak. Over time, as your vehicle ages, small cracks may form in AC system components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer, expansion tube, and connecting hoses, allowing Freon to escape. If this occurs, the failing component should be replaced and the system recharged.
How long should a Freon recharge last?
If your car's AC system was recently repaired and required a Freon recharge, it should not need to be recharged again under normal circumstances. Your AC system is a sealed system that does not allow refrigerant to escape. Freon is not like gasoline and does not get used up. If Freon continues to leak after repairs have been completed, additional diagnostic work may be needed to locate and repair the leak.
How many cans of Freon does a car take?
Don't guesstimate your vehicle's refrigerant needs. Most cars use between 28 and 32 ounces of refrigerant, which is roughly equal to two or three 12-ounce cans. However, larger vehicles and those equipped with rear air conditioning systems may require different amounts. Always consult your owner's manual or manufacturer specifications to avoid overfilling the system.
Can I leave my car running when adding Freon?
Yes. It is generally recommended to have the engine running while recharging your vehicle's air conditioning system. The AC compressor is powered by the engine and must be operating to circulate refrigerant properly and ensure an effective recharge.
Why is my car blowing hot air after adding Freon?
A refrigerant leak can cause a loss of pressure within the AC system, preventing it from producing cold air. This is one of the most common reasons a recharge may not solve the problem. The system should be inspected for leaks and any damaged components should be repaired before additional refrigerant is added.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Eddie and the rest of the team took incredible care of me and my vehicle. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to service any of my vehicles! Eddie even went above and beyond by helping me find the right headers and exhaust and assisting me with placing the order. If you’re looking for a trustworthy mechanic who can do just about anything, you’ve found the right place. Anyway, here’s my Vette that they’re building! Super happy with everything so far. :)
Mesa, AZ
I seriously can’t say enough good things about Eddie and Quick Shift Auto. I brought my 2004 Chevy Silverado in with a bunch of issues like reduced engine power, a flashing check engine light, a cylinder misfire, oil leaks, hard starting, and just overall not running the way it should. This truck has a lot of miles on it, so I was honestly starting to wonder if it was just getting to the end of its life. Eddie took the time to actually figure out what was going on instead of just throwing parts at it. They did a full tune-up, checked compression, replaced the plugs and wires, fixed the valve cover leaks, professionally cleaned and flow-tested the fuel injectors, and worked through the misfire issue. He kept me updated throughout the process and was straight with me about what the truck needed. I got it back and I’m not exaggerating when I say it feels like my truck is back to life. It starts right up, I’ve had it on the freeway at 75–80 mph, no check engine light, no reduced engine power, no hesitation, nothing. It honestly runs smoother than I can remember. This Silverado may not be the newest or flashiest truck on the road, but I love this thing, and getting it back running this good means a lot to me. I had honestly forgotten how much I appreciated driving it until I got it back. If you’re dealing with misfires, reduced engine power, check engine lights, rough running, or you’ve got an older truck that other shops make you feel like isn’t worth fixing, go talk to Eddie. He knows what he’s doing and made the whole process feel easy. Huge thank you to Eddie and everyone at Quick Shift Auto. You guys seriously brought my truck back to life. I’ll definitely be coming back here for anything I need in the future. 10/10.
