Freon Recharging FAQs
How often should Freon be changed?
Freon in your car's AC system doesn't need regular replacement like engine oil because the system is sealed. However, over time, as your vehicle ages, small cracks might develop in components like the compressor, condenser, or hoses, leading to Freon leakage. In such cases, the damaged parts should be replaced, and the Freon should be recharged.
How long should a Freon recharge last?
A properly repaired and recharged car AC system shouldn't need new Freon unless there's a leak. Unlike fuel, Freon doesn't deplete with use but can escape through leaks. If you find the Freon level dropping after a repair, it's crucial to check for and repair any leaks.
How many cans of Freon does a car take?
The amount of Freon required varies by vehicle. Typically, a car needs between 28-32 ounces of Freon, which equates to about 2-3 standard 12oz cans. However, larger vehicles or those with rear AC systems may need more. Always refer to your vehicle's manual to ensure the correct amount and prevent overfilling.
Can I leave my car running when adding Freon?
Yes, your car's engine should be running when you recharge the AC system. The AC compressor operates by using the engine which circulates the refrigerant and is essential for a successful recharge.

Why is my car blowing hot air after adding Freon?
If your car is still blowing hot air after adding Freon, it likely indicates a leak which causes a drop in system pressure and inefficacy in cooling. Before adding more Freon, it's advisable to thoroughly check for leaks and repair any found to ensure the system can maintain proper pressure and function effectively.

Spatig Bros towed my van for me after I hit a deer. Because I was an hour from home, I had nobody there to pick me up. He took me to his shop where he offered me coffee, water and a soft chair then proceeded to do his work. He checked on me every 5 minutes or so just to make sure I was okay and then spent several minutes going over the damage to my car with me. He was incredibly kind both at the scene and at the shop and made a really hard morning that much easier. Great customer service!
Great people, great service. You'll never find anyone better.
