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 JayBees Auto Service at 5070 E 22nd St 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 JayBees Auto Service in Tucson when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

JayBees 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 JayBees 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 JayBees Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 5070 E 22nd St.

"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 JayBees 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 Tucson 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 520-790-6035 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 5070 E 22nd St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying

A shout-out for JayBees Auto Repair! I mainly had my timing belt replaced on my 2007 Kia Rio which was a very tall order!! They did an excellent job and went above and beyond with their awesome customer service! Jackie and Shelly were so kind and professional. I highly recommend them if you need any maintenance or repairs on your vehicle. JayBees took care of my very first car in the '80s too.

I do not even know what to call what my vehicle needs. In any case, Dr. J and her gang of highly motivated and talented folks have been trying to figure it out for quite some time. It gets better for a bit and then oops - crappy again. We are to a point of experimenting with all kinds of odd stuff I do not understand. I keep thinking I am done with the truck and then I see the cost of used trucks and change my mind back again. Dr. J and her staff have been nothing but friendly, knowledgeable, reasonable and just hard working great folks for the whole 34 years I have been using their services. Whether or not my old truck recovers and remains usable (the goal), I will always be thankful for the care and wisdom of the JayBees crew!

So I've written one Google review not so long ago but this place so impresses me that I have to do an update. We have been customers for about two years now and they have saved me probably several hundred dollars by not repairing things that I erroneously thought were problems. I wouldn't have known the difference. That has happened twice in the past. Same thing today, a simple fix for something the dealer would probably have charged a lot more to take care of. This is a small family shop that holds itself to the highest standards of integrity and service. What a refreshing combo.

Spoke to Shelly about transmission service for possible slipping. She thoroughly explained a Transmission specialist is best and then referred a few placed. Shelly's customer appreciation shines bright even on a phone call. Thank you for your help.

In a world of dissonance and diminishing customer service, Jaybee's sets a fine example for customer care. I never feel taken advantage of here and I appreciate their expertise especially finding problems before they get worse. Shelly is upbeat and sincere, a winning combination in my book.
