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 Darwin Automotive at 2310 Airport Interchange Ave 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 Darwin Automotive in Memphis when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Darwin Automotive'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 Darwin Automotive today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 2310 Airport Interchange Ave.
"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 Darwin Automotive 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 Memphis 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 901-590-0684 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 2310 Airport Interchange Ave and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Dropped my truck off for an oil change, inspection and tire rotation. I have had a check engine light on for months and they were able to track down the issue that other shops kept telling me they couldn't. Very honest and straight forward about what was needed and the price was very fair. Amazing group of guys! I will use Darwin for all my future automotive needs.

I took my INFINITY FX35 because it was not cranking anymore. I spoke with Joe and he was nice through the whole process. He did a diagnostic on it and found out that I needed to replace the Main Fuse Panel. A week or two later he called me back and told me that my vehicle was ready. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Thank you and I will doing FUTURE BUSINESS!
