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 In and Out Auto Care at 610 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 In and Out Auto Care in Gladstone when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
In and Out Auto Care'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 In and Out Auto Care today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 610 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 In and Out Auto Care 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 Gladstone 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 503-786-0700 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 610 1st St and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I was extremely anxious about taking my car to any auto shop due to terrible reviews and past bad experiences. However, upon the recommendation to check out In and Out Auto, I'm incredibly grateful that I did. Bryan promptly responded to my initial email and scheduled an appointment for me just two days later. He explained everything thoroughly and got quotes to me right away. I really appreciated the quick inspection text I received while my car was in the shop, covering basic things I may need to address soon, but without any pressure. It's evident that they genuinely care about their customers. What really topped off my experience was when I got into my car to leave, I noticed that they had fixed my broken door handle, which had been broken for months, with no additional fee, and I didn't even have to ask! I will for sure be back!
I'm so glad I got a used car inspected here before purchasing. The dealer was asking 2k above Kelly Blue Book value and it needed at least 4k in repairs. Staff at In and Out Auto Care were super friendly and helpful and gave us the information we needed to decide whether or not to purchase the car we were looking at (WE DID NOT of course).
