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 4th Street Auto & Tire at 901 E 4th 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 4th Street Auto & Tire in Long Beach when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
4th Street Auto & Tire'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 4th Street Auto & Tire today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 901 E 4th 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 4th Street Auto & Tire 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 Long Beach 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 562-612-3142 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 901 E 4th St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

I went in to see if I could get my tire patched since I had a last minute flat tire before going to work but unfortunately it was punctured and I needed to replace the whole tire. I was in a hurry and stressed out and Jacob and his team helped me out big time. I even made it to work in time. I definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thank you Jacob & team! -

Jolene Fassbinder, 05/22/2023
Had a flat tire late Saturday afternoon, right before closing time, when streets were closed down all over LB for an event. When I called Jacob not only said he could help me, but he guided me on the best route to get there. I was in and out in no time. Jacob also respectfully explained what was wrong with my tire, which I appreciate. He left a great first impression - I will go back for future service!
