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 Perez Tire Auto Care at 5612 Outer Loop 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 Perez Tire Auto Care in Louisville when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Perez Tire Auto Care'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 Perez Tire Auto Care 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 Perez Tire Auto Care today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 5612 Outer Loop.

"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 Perez Tire Auto Care 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 Louisville 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 502-614-5129 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 5612 Outer Loop and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Let me start by saying I could not be more satisfied with the service that I received at Perez Auto (Formerly Exhaust Pro). I had them redo a brake job that had been previously done by another shop that was a complete failure and this other shop wouldn’t even recheck my brakes when I told him something was just not right. So much for using them again for anything. Anyway, when I explained what I needed at Perez., They were more than happy to look at my brakes and try correct any problems, which they did . It turned out that I needed my original calipers and piston assembly replaced that was not done at the previous shop. My truck had over 500,000 miles on it and these were probably the original calipers. Jason, at Perez, couldn’t have been more Professional, if he tried. After he completed the right job, he took it out for a test drive, and felt like something still wasn’t right and went back and rechecked his work again, and found that one of the new calipers was defective, ordered a new one and replaced it, test drove it again, and everything felt OK to him. It has felt completely OK since driven it by me. Jason‘s attention to detail and his expertise was exemplary. I’ll finish by saying that it was worth every penny and driving 30 extra minutes to get to Perez instead of using another shop closer to my home. I have already recommended Perez to some other people, including my son-in-law, who has already had two brake jobs done at Perez and also has been been completely satisfied. I wish I could’ve given them more than five stars, so I guess this testimonial will have to do. Again, thank you Perez for your excellent service. As Arnold Schwarzenegger used to say “ I’ll be back”.
