Auto A/C Recharge Tampa FL
Auto A/C Recharge Tampa FL from Mobile Auto Repair Pros of Tampa 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 813‑993‑0750.
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 Tampa summers a weak A/C is more than uncomfortable. A car parked in the sun at a Westshore office lot 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 Tampa
We work all over Tampa, from Carrollwood, Northdale and Westchase in the north down to South Tampa, Palma Ceia and Ballast Point.
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 Tampa FL replaces compressors, condensers and other parts on site. For every other repair, Auto Repair Shop Tampa 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.
