Q&A

My car's A/C isn't cooling properly. What kind of diagnostic service do you offer?

We start with a comprehensive system check that includes pressure testing, temperature measurement, and a visual inspection for leaks or damaged components. This allows us to pinpoint the exact issue, whether it's low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, or a clogged expansion valve, so we can recommend the most effective and efficient repair for your vehicle.

I have an older vehicle that still uses R-12 refrigerant. Can you service it?

Yes, we specialize in R-12 to R-134a conversions for older automotive air conditioning systems. This process involves safely recovering the old refrigerant, replacing necessary components like seals and the receiver-drier to be compatible with the new refrigerant, and recharging the system. This allows your classic car to have a functional and efficient A/C system using readily available refrigerants.

Living in Las Cruces, my home A/C struggles in the summer. How is my car's system different?

While both systems cool, a car's A/C operates in a much harsher environment with constant vibration, engine heat, and road debris. The core issue of improper sizing for homes isn't typically a factor in vehicles, as they come with a factory-matched system. For cars, common failures here are due to extreme heat stressing seals and components, leading to refrigerant leaks and compressor wear. Regular automotive A/C maintenance helps catch these issues before they lead to a complete failure during our hottest months.
