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 Tires Unlimited at 438 West Main St 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 Tires Unlimited in Louisa when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Tires Unlimited'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 Tires Unlimited today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 438 West Main St.
"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 Tires Unlimited 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 Louisa 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 540-967-0772 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 438 West Main St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I brought my jeep cherokee here after I had sub par services from Firestone in Fredericksburg. I have purchased several sets of tires from them from 2017-2021 and when they worked on my jeep, the work was top notch. Wire looms, tie wraps, new and correct bolts it was more like a restoration shop than a general mechanic, I do most of my own work now because of my experience with firestone but if I don’t have the time I come here! I will be getting my Prius inspected today and I will review as well since it has been awhile since I’ve used them! I would not hesitate and if there is a problem talk to Jeff.
Tires Unlimited has been our "go to" mechanic shop for years. I can honestly say we have never had an issue with them, which is why they continue to get our business. Jeff is very helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell he genuinely appreciates his customers. Our vehicles are always diagnosed and repaired correctly the first time. Reading some of the other reviews.....I think people need to be a little more patient and get rid of the unreasonable expectations. We're grateful for Tires Unlimited and we highly recommend them.
