Recharge The AC Freon In Your Car Or Truck

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 Quick Shift Auto at 4028 E Main St 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 Quick Shift Auto in Mesa when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Quick Shift Auto'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 Quick Shift Auto 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 Quick Shift Auto today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 4028 E Main St.

"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 Quick Shift Auto 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 Mesa 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 602-888-4927 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 4028 E Main St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

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. :)

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.
