AC Service & Repair

When is AC Service or Repair Necessary?
If your vehicle’s AC isn’t cooling properly, it’s time for a service! Common signs include warm air blowing from the vents, strange noises, or a musty smell.

What Does AC Service Include?

  • Comprehensive inspection of AC lines and hoses

  • High and low-pressure readings

  • Temperature check at maximum cool setting

  • Freon cleansing with EPA-approved recovery machines (to protect the environment)

R-12 to R134a Retrofit Service
Older vehicles (pre-1995) may still use R-12 Freon, which is both costly and harmful to the environment. Our technicians can retrofit your system to R134a, a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option. This process includes:

  • Recovery and proper disposal of R-12 Freon

  • Flushing of the system

  • Installation of the R134a retrofit kit, including necessary seals and hoses

  • Evacuating and recharging the system with R134a Freon

  • Mandatory retrofit labeling

At Carlson Automotive, we take extra care to ensure your vehicle’s AC system runs efficiently and safely. Contact us today to schedule your AC service or retrofit!
