Why it matters around Zion
Northern Lake County summers are humid, and a weak A/C also makes it harder to clear a fogged windshield on damp spring and fall mornings. Road salt and debris from Route 173 and I-94 also pack into condensers at the front of the car, which is a common place for leaks to start.
Questions and answers
Why does my A/C need recharging again?
Refrigerant does not get used up. If the system is low, there is a leak. We find the leak so the repair lasts instead of recharging again and again.
Can you work on newer cars with R-1234yf refrigerant?
Call (847) 746-7649 with your year, make and model, and we will confirm the service for your vehicle.
Is it worth fixing the A/C on an older car?
Often yes. Many A/C problems are a leaking hose, a switch, a fan or a blend door, not a compressor. We diagnose first so you can decide with the real cost in front of you.
