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 Avus Autosport at 312 Vine Street 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 Avus Autosport in Glendale when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Avus Autosport'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 Avus Autosport today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 312 Vine Street.
"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 Avus Autosport 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 Glendale 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 818-500-7663 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 312 Vine Street and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

My convertible top was not working so I took my car to Santa Monica BMW for a diag. Santa Monica BMW tried to charge me 10k to fix the roof and I knew something was wrong so I took my car to Avus Autosport, they were able to fix a hydronic line in my roof and tension cable for less than 2500$. The owner was so honest and kind and did great work. Taking my car to Avus saved me 7500$!! So now I have more money for my next fun car. It’s hard to find an honest mechanic now adays but Avus delivered and didn’t try to up charge me or sell me services I didn’t need. I highly recommend Avus if you have a European car, it’s clear the owner is an enthusiast himself and treats customers like family. Great service! And the best part is that they use OEM BMW parts so they come with a 2 year warranty, I trust Avus to get the job done right for a fair price.
Can not say enough good things about Andrew, Sandro, Ruben and the whole group at Avus Autosport. As soon as you walk in you can tell that they take pride in their work. The shop is what you would want it to look like if you built one yourself. However the most important part of any shop is their knowledge and here once again they excel. The work they did on my car was top notch and done in an expedient manner. They know exactly what they are doing and then get it done in a reasonable time frame. Each time I have taken my car here they have been less expensive than I was thinking and done better work than I was expecting. They also stand behind their work and are extremely accommodating when addressing any issues or questions you may have.
