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 Familia Automotive at 720 E Hammer Ln
Suite E8 we are ready to recharge your AC to help you keep your car or truck's cabin temperature cool.
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 Familia Automotive in Stockton when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Familia Automotive'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 Familia Automotive today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 720 E Hammer Ln

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 Familia Automotive 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 Stockton 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 209-933-1829 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 720 E Hammer Ln
Suite E8 and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.
what our customers say
I was not referred here or heard anything about this place other than the reviews that were previously left. This place was fantastic. I took my daughter's 2000 RAV4 to Familia Automotive and that's exactly how they treated us, like family. The owner was great as well as the staff.. even though the problem was minor he thoroughly checked the car and sent a video via text as well text messages letting us know when it was ready along with a thorough phone call explaining everything he had found. It was well worth the time and money to visit familia automotive and it will be receiving our business moving forward along with any recommendations.
Went in for air conditioning issues. Before getting started, he explained to me what they were going to check for, possible issues & solutions. I was kept informed of everything. Broke down every step for me. When it came down to the repairs, he explained what was needed and why. Quick and thorough repairs. My AC even blows colder air than it did before the incident! Great customer service! Flexible to work around your schedule, which is a big plus. He even went out of his way to help and recommend simple solutions to other car issues that could be done at home. Very welcoming environment with good prices! Thank you!
