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 Smoky Hill Auto Service at 16695 E Smoky Hill 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 Smoky Hill Auto Service in Aurora when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Smoky Hill 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.
"Does Smoky Hill Auto Service 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 Smoky Hill Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 16695 E Smoky Hill 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 Smoky Hill 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 Aurora 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 303-766-9227 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 16695 E Smoky Hill Rd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.


what our customers say

I traveled from Las Vegas to Aurora Colorado and coming over the Pass my ABS lights came on and I was concerned so I researched places to take my car to be checked out and would take my extended warranty. Craig was very kind when I called so i decided to go there 1. because of his kindness and 2. His reviews. While having my car at the shop they found my alternator was bad . he called the warranty company and stayed on the line until he got a live person on the line . His staff was amazing and had my car ready for me in just a couple hours . They car runs great and it is ready to head back home without any worries. I highly recommend Smoky Hill Auto Service Center. Thank you Craig and your staff for helping me and getting my car safe for the road trip home.

Brought my car in for 60K scheduled maintenance. They did a great job, communicated well and did it a very fair price without trying to sell me unnecessary services. This is a shop you can trust, and that's hard to find.
