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 Autotech of Danbury at 18 South Street 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 Autotech of Danbury in Danbury when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Autotech of Danbury'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 Autotech of Danbury today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 18 South Street.
"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 Autotech of Danbury 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 Danbury 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 203-748-9165 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 18 South Street and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I have brought my car in multiple times over the years and have received outstanding service every single time. They are incredibly thorough, honest and efficient (also funny!). I recommend them to everyone!

Autotech is Fantastic. Honesty, Extensive experience, Friendliness, Fairness, Sincere care for the customer and their car is what you'll get there. I've been a customer of theirs from a recommendation for 6 years with a Subaru. George, Annie & their staff are top notch. My last visit, George even brought out a part without me asking that needed to be replaced. To show & explain in detail why it had to be replaced & how he tried many ways to save it. He also explained things I could do to further help prevent the problem from reoccurring. All very much appreciated and educational. This kind of attention to detail and care for the customer is what you'll find at Autotech. I will always highly recommend Autotech, even if it's a little out of the way for the person. It is very hard to find this kind of service these days, especially for cars. Thanks to George, Annie & Autotech.

Danbury Autotech is the place to bring your car! Being a young woman I often feel hesitant going to any shop other than my local garage, but they've earned themselves another customer. Very honest and friendly guys with a good sense of humor. I brought in my 2008 Volvo for an assessment of my exhaust system, but they looked thoroughly at everything. My local shop wasn't telling me the full extent of what was wrong, never mentioning the amount of rust underneath or that my wheel bearing was bad (a sound I had been hearing for the better part of year and would bring up during oil changes, etc.) But these guys mentioned it after the first time looking at my car. Even from the initial phone call to make the appointment they were nothing but helpful and informative. I really appreciate George sitting down with me to go over what's wrong, and what to prioritize so I can safely drive my car while I shop around for something else. The quote they gave me is reasonable for what needs to be done. For the time being, I'm driving my fiancées car, but I look forward to returning to Danbury Autotech for the necessary repairs to my Volvo and future cars!
