Does anyone know of any dedicated air conditioning shops that have a good reputation in new york city, preferably queens?

 

anyone??

 

Yeah anyone, i def need one too, i have a massive leak in mines. I want it to get ifxed and get R12 in there cuase R134a is not as efficient as R12.

I think that was then, now pepboys sucks bolas lol. a good a/c spot in the NYC area is www.hnvtiresautoservices.com
they in brooklyn.

 

There's a place I took my Rx7 to get done called Jamaica Rack and Axle. They do everything there and have a huge dedicated AC machine, I think snap on.

When I took my FD there, they requested I change my receiver dryer since it was an open system. They then vacuumed the system (most other places don't do this) and held the vacuum for like 30min to make sure there are no leaks.

They then added the refridgerant and all was great. They put a thermometer in the vents and let the car run for a while and made sure all was ok. Before taking it there and paying a few extra bucks, I took it 2 other places that had great deals but the AC leaked out each time.

Okay that sounds great anthony but do you have a price lol

It was about $200 and the receiver dryer (which I bought myself) was around $100. It was more than regular shops but I never had any issues with leaks and the AC was freezing cold for such an old car.

I had a leak etc so it was more. The address is on this post...

do you know if they would deal with Freeze-12?

 

Freeze 12 meaning R12 Freeon refrigerant?

A/C is not that hard a thing to figure out, any good mechanic shop should be able to do it

they put the dye, and look for the leak, kind of simple really.

 

no, Freeze-12 is a derivative, i think a combination of R134a and R142b if I'm not mistaken, cools better than 134a, is the popular opinion of the forum.
