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 Maxi Auto Service at 4007 Dayton Blvd 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 Maxi Auto Service in Chattanooga when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Maxi Auto Service'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 Maxi Auto Service 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 Maxi Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 4007 Dayton Blvd.

"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 Maxi Auto Service 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 Chattanooga 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 423-877-0987 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 4007 Dayton Blvd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

    Been taking our vehicles there for a few years now. Fair pricing, good communication, and they stand behind their work.

    Great service. Did better job diagnosing problem than the dealership and fixed it for a whole lot less than what the dealership quoted. Spent the time needed to actually find what the problem was and not just swap parts until it was fixed. They were genuinely concerned about finding the issue. Allowed us to drive the car for the weekend to ensure the problem was fixed before we made the final payment. Highly recommend and will use them again.

    I went in needing 4 new tires, and that is exactly what I got. No one tried to sell me something I didn't need and the manager made time for me to educate me. I never knew tires that only have 18,000 miles on them could be "dry rotted" but they were. You can't ask for better service. I was treated with respect, paid what I was quoted, and my repairs were done on time. (You can't ask that from a dealership!) I will be loyal to this Red Bank location as long as I live here.
