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 McKonly's Garage Inc at 3651 Horizon Dr 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 McKonly's Garage Inc in Lancaster when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
McKonly's Garage Inc'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 McKonly's Garage Inc today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 3651 Horizon Dr.
"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 McKonly's Garage Inc 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 Lancaster 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 717-285-4833 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 3651 Horizon Dr and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
McKonly's Garage was fantastic. They got my car in for inspection and emissions and I got a detailed report later that day. I love the report because it breaks down all recommendations for services and whether or not they are required or just regular maintenance. The service was fast and easy and they called me back within the hour to pick up my vehicle. Highly recommended!!! I love supporting a family owned local business instead of going to Pep Boys!
Great place to go. Easy to work with and set up appointments. Took my car in for inspection and they show you what proactive maintenance you need to keep your car running smoothly. Will inform you with any questions you have about it . They are very knowledgeable about their trade there.
McKonly's Garage offered a car care workshop for my troop of Senior Girl Scouts last week. The technicians were helpful, thorough, patient, and really great with the kids. They taught the girls valuable skills for car maintenance and safety. They were incredibly generous with their time and talent. Not only is McKonly's Garage a great family business to work with, but they truly care about the community.
These guys were great. My car's front axel snapped and they were able to get it in and fixed right away for a good price. They were prompt, professional, and honest. They made some additional maintenance recommendations but didn't pressure me into spending more money than I had to. Definitely will be back!
