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 La Crescent Auto Repair at 191 N 1st 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 La Crescent Auto Repair in La Crescent when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
La Crescent Auto Repair'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 La Crescent Auto Repair today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 191 N 1st 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 La Crescent Auto Repair 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 La Crescent 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 507-895-2345 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 191 N 1st St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
If you're searching for local car repair near me or comparing car repair shops in La Crosse WI, La Crescent Auto Repair is worth your time. They replaced my rear crossmember along with the control arm and ball joint assembly. Their first choice was OEM, but the manufacturer no longer had the part available. Instead of installing something questionable, they sourced a quality second-hand part from a supplier down south. I'll be honest, being in a rental while waiting wasn't ideal. But they were transparent about expectations the entire time. They communicated clearly, explained the sourcing delay, and made it clear they wouldn't install a part in my vehicle unless they'd trust it in their own. That level of honest auto repair is hard to find. Yes, I had to wait a little longer than expected. But it was worth it. The repair was done right, and the pricing was fair. If you're comparing options for cheap car repair near me, understand this: cheap doesn't always mean cutting corners. The price I paid was reasonable, especially compared to other shops in the area, and it definitely wasn't an arm and a leg. They do charge a 3% fee on credit cards due to their POS system, but there's no fee for debit or cash. If you're looking for mechanics who care about cars and guest service, I have no problem recommending La Crescent Auto Repair.
These guys always take good care of me. Excellent service!
Awesome reliable. Most important trustworthy. And realistic pricing. They do great work and so good to deal with. Would recommend to anyone
Very pleased with my recent experience at La Crescent Auto Repair. I had a leak start in my pickup, which hasn't leaked much of anything the whole time I've owned it, shortly before having to leave for a trip. The team at La Crescent Auto was able to squeeze me in on a moment's notice, diagnose, and fix the problem (leaky quick connectors on the cooling system) in time for me to depart. The work was thorough, the price fair, and the timelines exceptional.
