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 Metco Tire & Auto Service at 1255 Calvin Edney 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 Metco Tire & Auto Service in Mars Hill when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Metco Tire & Auto Service'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 Metco Tire & Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 1255 Calvin Edney 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 Metco Tire & Auto Service 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 Mars Hill 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 828-689-5571 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 1255 Calvin Edney Rd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I had my car serviced this morning and my tires rotated. They did an amazing job. Very friendly and nice people. I will definitely be back
Fantastic and prompt service! We had an unexpected flat while visiting the area and they got us back on the road in 30 min.
Great service on a dead battery/alternator fix Very kind and professional! Had my car towed there as my SIL has been very happy with their work and prices. They exceeded my expectations! Thankyou very much!
Stopped in with a tire leak. They identified the source and patched the tire within 15 minutes of our arrival-we had barely settled in to their air conditioned waiting area before it was time to pay and move on with our busy day. They were super nice and efficient. I would have paid them more for the time and stress they saved us.
