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 4986 Hwy 58 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 4986 Hwy 58.

"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 423-892-6159 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 4986 Hwy 58 and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

    This is a great place for anyone who needs to have work done. I had my sway bar links replaced at the dealership and when I picked the car up, it was making a knocking sound near the wheels/underside of the car. Turns out the dealership didn't tighten my sway bar and also stripped a nut/bolt when they repaired my sway bar links. Maxi offers free inspections and the dealership was trying to charge me again just to have it looked at after they obviously messed something up on the car. I took it to Maxi and explained my situation and they tightened my sway bar free of charge. I highly recommend this shop.
