360 Auto Repair Services
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 360 Auto Repair Services at 2700 Somersville Road 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 360 Auto Repair Services in Antioch when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
360 Auto Repair Services'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 360 Auto Repair Services today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 2700 Somersville Road.
"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 360 Auto Repair Services 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 Antioch 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 925-757-3000 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 2700 Somersville Road and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.
OUR REVIEWS
Antioch, CA
Julian McNair, 07/07/2026I don't often leave reviews, but 360 Auto absolutely deserves one and more praise than I've ever given a business before. I had a great experience working with both Sam and Joe. Sam went above and beyond in a way that really stood out. He was able to provide all-around amazing service to my vehicle up until it ultimately needed to be retired due to a manufacturer engine flaw. In addition to servicing my vehicle, his knowledge of the auto industry is deep. He was incredibly knowledgeable about a known Hyundai engine defect issue I was dealing with, and his advice helped save me thousands of dollars. Because of his guidance and technical know-how, I was able to handle the situation properly and ultimately receive full compensation from Hyundai. His advice during the process of purchasing a replacement vehicle was also incredibly valuable. He is honest, patient, professional, and clearly cared about helping me make the right decision, not just rushing me through the process. I was respected, taken care of, and never pressured. Sam and Joe have earned another lifelong customer, and I highly recommend 360 Auto to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy help with their vehicle.
