What refrigerant does my car take?
Most vehicles built before 2017 use R-134a. Most vehicles built 2017 or later use R-1234yf. The sticker under your hood tells us for certain, and so does our recovery machine's database. We will confirm the correct refrigerant for your specific VIN before any work begins.
How long does the recharge take?
Summer Refresh (recovery + recharge) typically takes 35–55 minutes from arrival. Rescue & Deep Vacuum (adds leak hunt and seal work) runs 60–90 minutes depending on the leak. We measure vent temp before and after and write the reading on your invoice.
Does R-1234yf cost more than R-134a?
No — freon is a flat $15.99 per can regardless of which refrigerant your system takes. We identify the correct type for your vehicle before any work begins.
How does the Fair-Play Gauge Guarantee work?
It's a $69.99 diagnostic — full gauge read before you commit to anything. If you proceed with the repair, the $69.99 credits toward the work. If it turns out to be a dead component rather than a simple low charge, you get $20 back.
Do you service hybrid or EV A/C systems?
Yes. Many hybrids use an electric compressor driven off the high-voltage system; the refrigerant side of the loop is the same R-134a or R-1234yf service. We do not service the high-voltage battery cooling plate directly — that requires a dealership-level HV specialist.
Can you meet me inside an Aventura Mall garage?
Yes — that's the whole point of "meet us at your level." Tell us the level number (L1, L2, L3, L4) and the wing (Nordstrom, Macy's, Center Court) when you book. Our unit is garage-rated and our techs are familiar with security-desk procedures at the NE 199th St entrance.
