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 Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD at 16289 W Colfax Ave 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 Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD in Golden when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD'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.
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 Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 16289 W Colfax Ave.
"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 Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD 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 Golden 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 303-278-8766 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 16289 W Colfax Ave and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Professional and courteous staff Did a fantastic job with my car. I highly recommend them. Joshua Silverman, 09/21/2024 |
Highly recommend Anderson’s for any service, from oil changes to turbo replacements. I worked with them after getting a diagnosis of a faulty turbo from a dealership, and they helped me hone in the problem, discovered an error on the dealership’s part, and saved me several thousands of dollars in repair costs by doing so. They replaced the entire turbo assembly in my 2012 Audi Q5 quickly and expertly, and also performed an oil change and a cabin air filter change, all done with high-quality parts. Super friendly staff, very attentive and proactive when it comes to communication. I will be coming here in the future for all of my service or tune-up needs. Lillian Hanson, 09/16/2024 |
EXCELLENT SERVICE. After years of frustration with my Volvo XC90 dealership, I was referred to Anderson. They discovered my issues were covered under warranty, which the dealership had refused to honor. With Anderson's help, I was able to get the dealership to comply. I've since used Anderson for all my maintenance needs and couldn't be happiergreat service, communication, and prices. Scott Haerbig, 08/26/2024 |
