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 Matthews Motors at 11315 US 70 Business Hwy W 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 Matthews Motors in Clayton when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Matthews Motors'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 Matthews Motors 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 Matthews Motors today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 11315 US 70 Business Hwy W.

"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 Matthews Motors 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 Clayton 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 919-550-2333 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 11315 US 70 Business Hwy W and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

Testimonials

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I can honestly say I have never had a car buying experience like this before, impressed is an understatement. I had a few credit issues and was a bit apprehensive about applying for a loan. I decided to take a chance with Matthews Motors and completed the online finance application. I was immediately contacted by a sales rep and was able to schedule an appt first thing the next business day. I met with Uriel who was amazing and within 2 1/2 hours I left the dealership driving my new car. The amazing part is Uriel asked what I was looking for and what I was not looking for. Based on what I told him the very first car he brought me was the one. The 2021 Subaru Ascent Touring had everything I was looking for in a dependable 3rd row vehicle that didn't look like a minivan and was within my price range. You can tell they actually care as Ken assisted with the financial paperwork and did a great job explaining terms and answering questions. Uriel walked me to the service counter and introduced me to the staff for any future service needs. It was like becoming part of the family. I have had my new car for over a week, and they have followed up to make sure everything was going well. I am so happy I chose Matthews Motors as you could not ask for a wider selection of vehicles, better customer service and overall experience. They will be my go to for all future car buying needs which is great since I have to kids that are now pre-teens Thank you Matthews Motors for being so great. I will be referring all my friends and family for their future car buying.
