- Your car's AC blows air only slightly cooler than the outside temperature.
- Unpleasant mildew and mold odors emanate from your AC vents.
- The AC functions only while the vehicle is in motion.

Freon Recharging FAQs
How often should Freon be changed?
Never, at least not in the way you think of your oil being changed. Your car's AC system is a sealed unit. No new Freon needs to be added unless there's a refrigerant leak. Over time as your vehicle ages small cracks may form in your AC system parts such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer, expansion tube and connecting hoses allowing Freon to escape. If this occurs, you need to replace the failing part and have your Freon recharged.
How long should a Freon recharge last?
If your car's AC system was recently repaired and required a Freon recharge it should not need to be replaced again. Your AC system is a closed or sealed system that does not allow Freon to escape. Freon is not like gasoline; it does not get depleted. If Freon is escaping after your car's AC system has been repaired, then additional work may need to be done to find the leak.
How many cans of Freon does a car take?
Don't guesstimate your car's refrigerant needs! Most use 28-32 ounces (2-3 12oz cans), but larger vehicles and rear A/C can be different. Check your manual for the exact amount to avoid overfilling.
Can I leave my car running when adding Freon?
It is advised to have your engine running while recharging your car's A/C system. This is essential as the A/C compressor, powered by the engine, must be active to facilitate proper refrigerant circulation and ensure an effective recharge.
Why is my car blowing hot air after adding Freon?
A refrigerant leak can lead to a loss of pressure in the AC system, resulting in a failure to produce cold air. This is frequently the primary reason a recharge may prove ineffective. It is crucial to inspect the system for leaks and address any issues before proceeding with a recharge.

I don’t leave reviews very often but I have to for these guys. They went above and beyond to give me exactly what I asked for. Would definitely recommend to check these guys out. Prices were fair and work was done in a reasonable amount of time. -

Had an issue that started at Discount Tire (highly recommended) and was sent to MVA. Great guys, they took good care of me and had me rolling in less than an hour. Good experience, ask for Marvin.

Brought my '97 4Runner in for suspension work, ball joints, and an alignment, and couldn't be happier with the experience. They were straightforward about what needed to be done, kept me updated throughout the process, and never tried to upsell me on anything unnecessary. The truck drives noticeably better now, and it's clear they take pride in their work. Honest, professional, and fair pricing—exactly what you hope for in a mechanic. I'll definitely be back for future work and would recommend them to anyone looking for a shop they can trust. -

I honestly cannot recommend Mission Village Auto Care enough. We had purchased a van for my father-in-law that needed some work done and from beginning to end their service was phenomenal. They did a full tune up, rear shocks, transmission service, axle/wheel bearing replacement and anything else that the van needed. You can tell they took care of everything. It drives and runs so much better! Not only was their work amazing but they were so honest and upfront about everything. No hidden charges or charging you for extra things they “found.” Everything was straightforward and communicated with me along the way. They kept me updated every step of the process which allowed me to trust that they were doing everything they said they would. You can’t find that kind of trust with just any shop. I will be taking my car there from now on and if you want the best quality, honest service around, Mission Village is your place. -
