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 Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. at 9206 Circle Dr 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 Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. in Austin when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc.'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 Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. 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 Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 9206 Circle Dr.

"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 Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. 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 Austin 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 512-288-0094 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 9206 Circle Dr and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Service way above and beyond. They came in on a Sunday to receive my 1930 Buick from the shipper even though they're closed on Sunday. They fixed my car the very next day because it was an "easy" fix and they wanted such a valuable car returned to me expediently. It started right up. The repair seemed a little expensive, but maybe things are just more expensive in Austin. Next, they drove me back from the storage facility. Then they helped me lift a heavy load. See what I mean about above and beyond? I'd recommend them with your beloved vehicle too.

Really too notch place for your vintage vehicle. Family-owned from forever ago, and stocked with ace gearheads who love to breathe life into old things. Took my 1972 Ranger there and got a thorough and honest assessment of my needs, along with straight up pricing. When I went to pick it up, Steve walked me through what he had done and gave me a primer on how to love and care for the truck. Essentially he schooled this newbie on stuff like manual chokes and carburetors and exactly how amazing the thing I bought actually was. The very best option around Austin for bringing a classic back to life.

My girlfriend suggested that I take my 2001 Ford Expedition to Jerry Dixon's and I have never been happier about anyplace that has ever worked on any of my cars, ever... If I could give them 10 stars, I would.
