Auto A/C Recharge Jacksonville FL
Auto A/C Recharge Jacksonville FL from Mobile Auto Repair Pros of Jacksonville brings back cold air by charging the system with the correct amount of refrigerant, after first checking why it was low. Refrigerant does not get used up, so a low system has a leak, and the mechanic finds it before recharging so you do not pay twice. Call 904‑447‑8792.
When a Recharge Makes Sense
Air that is cool but not cold, cooling that fades slowly over weeks and a compressor that cycles on and off quickly are signs of a low charge.
In a Jacksonville summer a weak A/C is more than uncomfortable. A car parked all day in a sunny lot at the beach or an office lot near the airport can reach dangerous cabin temperatures, and a working A/C also clears a fogged windshield during afternoon storms.
What It Costs
A recharge is priced by the refrigerant your car uses. Newer cars use a refrigerant that costs more than the older type. The leak check comes first so the money is not wasted.
Where We Work in Jacksonville
We work all over Jacksonville, from our base on Marguerite Street near Philips Highway and University Boulevard to San Marco, Spring Park and the Southbank.
Before the Mechanic Arrives
Tell us how long the A/C has been weak, whether it went warm suddenly or slowly, and whether any warning light is on. Sudden failures often point to a part, slow ones to a leak.
Most A/C work only needs room to open the hood. A driveway, a parking deck or a spot in your office lot is fine.
How the Recharge Works
The mechanic checks pressures, adds dye or uses a detector to find the leak, and fixes small leaks such as service valves and O-rings where possible. The system is then charged by weight to the amount your car calls for.
Vent temperature is measured before and after so you can see the difference.
When a part has failed and a recharge will not fix it, Auto A/C Replacement Jacksonville FL replaces compressors, condensers and other parts on site. For every other repair, Auto Repair Shop Jacksonville FL brings the work to you.
Auto A/C Recharge Questions
Why not just add refrigerant?
Without fixing the leak, the charge escapes again. Finding the leak first saves money.
Which refrigerant does my car use?
Older cars use R-134a and many newer ones use R-1234yf. The mechanic checks your car and uses the right one.
How long does a recharge take?
Usually about an hour, including the leak check.
Do you work on all car A/C systems?
We work on the A/C in most makes and models, including newer cars that use the newer refrigerant.
