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 Marty's Auto Repair at 8 Broad 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 Marty's Auto Repair in Riverton when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Marty's Auto Repair'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 Marty's Auto Repair 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 Marty's Auto Repair today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 8 Broad 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 Marty's Auto Repair 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 Riverton 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 856-764-3633 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 8 Broad St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Once again Marty's Auto Repair saved the day! My Ford Explorer stalled on my way to the shore Thursday night. Marty happened to be in the office on the Holiday of July 4th when I called. He told me to bring my truck right in and he would check it out. He fixed my vehicle and I was able to get to the shore for my birthday celebration. A few days later I received a call from Rachel, one of his awesome employees, just to check on me and see how my vehicle was running. At Marty's request, I brought the truck back in so he could re-check the sensor and all is still good. Not only is Marty an awesome mechanic he is an honest business man. I truly believe he services my vehicle as he would his own family and his customer's safety and satisfaction are his priority. Thanks for always looking out & taking care of your customers Marty's Auto Repair & staff - you guys rock!!
