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 JR Automotive Solutions at 1615 -A, Lejeune 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 JR Automotive Solutions in Jacksonville when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

JR Automotive Solutions'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 JR Automotive Solutions 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 JR Automotive Solutions today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 1615 -A, Lejeune 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 JR Automotive Solutions 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 Jacksonville 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 910-378-7200 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 1615 -A, Lejeune Blvd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Before coming to the shop my only intention was to get my front left headlight replaced. After they explained how much simpler it would be to replace both at the same time, I decided that it was a better option to do that. So, both headlights were replaced-which would've saved time on being in a shop. Before that, I kept going in, one after the other to replace. This makes much more sense. Also, there was an electrical issue I had been dealing with for the longest time in my Subaru, and for the first time, this specific shop did a diagnosis and predetermined what the problem could be! Amazing! I was at a complete loss before they had looked at it. Being that I decided to get an entirely new vehicle, I no longer required their services. But, I would've had the opportunity to have my electrical system fixed, for the first time while owning it. My air filter also felt to be cleaned out too! It smelled so much fresher after this visit. Being that all of this was done within just a couple of hours, no waiting period for parts to come in and an air conditioned room with Netflix to sit in. I'd recommend this spot every time. If you find yourself in a pinch or just wanting to work with authentically great people who put you first, this spot is the place for you. Great service, fast paced, great quality, and such amazingly friendly staff who are experienced and knowledgeable as well as understanding and open to helping you understand what's going on as well (and I'm speaking as I know absolutely nothing about cars).
