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 J & N Auto Service at 2929 Jones Mill Rd 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 J & N Auto Service in Doraville when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

J & N Auto Service'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 J & N Auto Service 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 J & N Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 2929 Jones Mill Rd.

"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 J & N Auto Service 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 Doraville 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 770-512-0900 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 2929 Jones Mill Rd and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I have been a customer of Jimmy's for at least eight years and he's the best mechanic in Atlanta. He has saved me tons of money over the years. He's honest and the best thing about his work is that he will get it right, when nobody else will. The people who know Jimmy and his work, faithfully bring their cars to him. When the job or the repair is really important, I only trust Jimmy. Mechanics everywhere owe Jimmy their gratitude for he surely is in a league all of his own in terms of consistency, quality, integrity and execution- all traits that 98% percent of mechanics know nothing about. Jimmy gets FIVE STARS from me, and you can take that to the bank brother!

Excellent, honest, fairly priced, fast service! I recently moved to Georgia and was in need of new rear brakes on my Suzuki SX4. I found J & N Auto online and gave them a call. Even though there were other vehicles being serviced, my brakes were finished within a couple of hours! This is not one of those franchise repair shops, just a good honest mechanic/owner with a staff of professional mechanics in a shop. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Jimmy and his staff to anyone and will continue to call upon them in the future.

I decided to write this review months after my visit and I just wanted to say it was a great experience. My car still runs smoothly and the service was fast. Highly recommended.

Jimmy, the owner/mechanic, was professional and gave me a great deal, in comparison to my own research of what repairs I needed. Great place, huge shop, name brand parts, good customer service and repaired my vehicle in a timely manner. I recommend his services.
