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 Affordable Automotive Repair at 4637 Mine Rd 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 Affordable Automotive Repair in Fredericksburg when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Affordable Automotive 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.
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 Affordable Automotive Repair today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 4637 Mine Rd.
"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 Affordable Automotive 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 Fredericksburg 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 540-710-5400 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 4637 Mine Rd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Trustworthy, Courteous, Professional... Issue: Clunking noise, under front passenger side when driving Affordable Automotive completely surpassed my expectations when I took my car to them, after another repair shop quoted that I needed a new CV Axle and that the total cost would be $1700 to replace. I took it to AA on a whim and received a prompt, polite call that stated the issue was only a loose caliper. They stated they tightened and that the cost was zero bc all they had to do was to tighten the bolts. I did ask them to do another service while it was there and paid for that of course. They did a 40+ inspection on my car and provided me a report of what else may need service in the future. I am now 6+ weeks from that service and the car is still quiet and driving well. Unlike MOST service stations, AA is trusting and the cost of labor is budget friendly and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and polite. If you have any issues with your automobile, don't hesitate to take it to Affordable Automotive, they will have you back on the road quickly while easy on your pockets! I appreciate your honesty and you now have a customer for life!
I bought my tires from them a year ago and suddenly I had a flat from a screw. I was distraught and called to see if they could help, and they were amazing! They couldn't patch it but they got my donut on and ordered a new tire. The next day I came straight from work and my car is highway ready again! And no cost to be because my tires were covered by road Hazard protection!
