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 Marcos Tires & Auto Repair at 447 S Freedom Blvd 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 Marcos Tires & Auto Repair in Provo when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Marcos Tires & Auto Repair'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 Marcos Tires & Auto Repair today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 447 S Freedom Blvd.
"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 Marcos Tires & Auto Repair 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 Provo 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 801-358-1359 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 447 S Freedom Blvd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Went it to get my emissions, they were fast, the fee was really affordable, and the service was great!! Now my go-to shop for all car problems
I worked at a car rental company so I dealt with plenty of body shops. Marcos is incredibly honest and they were great communicators. My car had some complications and they still were able to get my car fixed in a day. I will be going to them over any other shop in provo, even the main ones, for a couple reasons: 1. Since they are smaller, you will get much faster service. 2. Best pricing I have seen. Thanks to Josue for making sure I was taken care of
Really very good and responsible workers
Sure thankful for these gentlemen today! I live in SLC & had to come down to Provo for work. On my way down south my tire sensor light went off - no big, was due for a rotation and alignment anyway. Looked up highly rated spots near my office and they came up first thing. Come to find out after dropping the car off thet I need two tires replaced due to wearing on the outside treads. I really appreciate how the owner's son took me back to the garage and pointed out the flaws in my tire compared to a newer one. He actually explained what he meant versus just yapping at me, which is unfortunately common as a single woman with zero mechanical experience. On top of teaching me something, they also didnt charge me for the rotation since I'll be out of pocket for a new set of tires (thanks all-wheel drive!) If I lived closer these guys would be my regular mechanic. Thanks for your kindness and integrity today, gentlemen. It doesnt go unnoticed.
