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 Evans Automotive & Tire Center at 1585 Pinecrest 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 Evans Automotive & Tire Center in Saint Augustine when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Evans Automotive & Tire Center'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 Evans Automotive & Tire Center today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 1585 Pinecrest 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 Evans Automotive & Tire Center 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 Saint Augustine 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 904-819-6599 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 1585 Pinecrest St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for thee BEST Automotive Service I honestly have EVER had received.. I had an unfortunate experience before coming into Evans last Monday. I had decided over the weekend that I would stop in first thing Monday to see if they could assist me as I was scheduled to travel shortly and put faith that all would flow how it was to go. I was met by Justin who listened.. and took in all that I had asked of them to check out..and had ended up calling a few others times to add some extra things on.. as well as ‘checked in’ to see how things were proceeding. Understanding that at times.. when your car is being checked out.. you just might need to take care of something else.. which was the case …. I appreciated how that was handled.. professional.. and truly caring about the customer.. I was told Matthew was the main tech who worked on my car.. I want to acknowledge and thank him.. I truly APPRECIATE YOU.. your time.. care and hard work.. not just on my vehicle but daily.. as well as ALL who work at Evans.. YOU ALL make a difference and bring your care.. professionalism and knowledge to make the experience for the customer pleasant.. which means a great deal these days.. so thank you ALL.. When I had come to pick up my vehicle.. I was greeted by ‘Ms.Harley’ who definitely wanted to express her gratitude to me .. which made my day.. I’m a number person.. My vehicle is a 2013 GMC.. I bought it at 113,000.. my next oil change.. 123,330… PERFECT.. Thank YOU EVANS AUTOMOTIVE and TIRE CENTER.. I meant what I said.. THEE BEST Service I have EVER had.. I’ll be back.. for sure.. Blessings to you ALL..
Had a great experience with Evans Automotive in St Augustine . I originally went to Hanania Jeep (huge mistake)in town, because Evans Automotive was closed for Christmas and I was desperate. Hanania quoted me $1300-1600 for ignition and new keys ( keys weren't needed). I felt very pressured there and left, and waited for Evans to reopen. Evans repaired my 2016 Jeep for $596. The service was excellent, with no pressure. They did only what was needed and no upsell. Evans stands out for their integrity, great service and high quality work. I highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and affordable repairs. ( If they happen to be closed, just be patient because it's worth the wait :))
