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 Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair at 7407 Farm to Market 307 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 Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair in Midland when it's time to recharge your AC freon.

Hale's Diesel & 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.
"Does Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair Have R12 Freon For My Classic Car?"

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 Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 7407 Farm to Market 307.

"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 Hale's Diesel & 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 Midland 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 432-227-2752 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 7407 Farm to Market 307 and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I know this this the best place we have had our truck in any shop. They have done everything that we have asked them to do. The work they have done for us was clean with no hanging loose wire. While servicing our rear differential in our F350 they seen the gears noticed that the differential gears had irregular pattern on them and sent me pictures so I knew for my own eyes. They answered all our questions and I know they had to get tired hearing our calls but they answered them.

I can’t say enough good things about this shop. They were honest with me from day one and treated me with respect throughout the entire repair process. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed, and never made me feel pressured or taken advantage of. What stood out the most was how understanding and genuinely helpful everyone was. They knew how stressful it was to be without my truck, and they went above and beyond to answer my questions and make sure I felt comfortable with every step. It’s rare to find people who care as much about their customers as they do.

I am certainly glad I found this Shop, Jason, Brandon, Dustin and Amanda are amazing people. I took my truck in for repairs, and I told Jason that I wanted it checked out from front to back and top to bottom and everything fixed and that's exactly what he did, I was always informed of what was going on with it over there! I had a choice whether or not to buy a new truck or invest in repairing mine and after talking with a couple of my friends that buy a new truck every two years the choice was simple to me. After asking Jason every question in the book, he delivered an answer that made me comfortable with moving forward.... To anyone else over there that put your hands on my truck all I can say is thanks to you too. TOP NOTCH FIRST CLASS THESE FOLKS KNOW THEIR STUFF!!!!!!!!!
