Do you want the best air conditioning shop in Lansing to repair your air conditioning system on your vehicle? Or do you want those other guys who will take your money and send you on your way just to have you back again the next day with your air conditioning not working again to repair your vehicle.

At PFS Auto Air Conditioning Repair we not only have over 15 years in the A/C business but we also have a certified 6 step system that will guarantee your air conditioning system to be repaired right and your satisfaction guaranteed.

We are also the only air conditioning shop that guarantees the R134a freon we install in your vehicle for one whole year!

Ok so this is how it works………

We will perform a complete mechanical inspection of your air conditioning system which includes up to 1 pound of R134a freon to test for leaks, make sure your air conditioning compressor, a/c condenser, a/c evaporator, a/c hoses and fittings are all working correctly. If after this inspection all is well, we will then fully recharge your system to the exact factory spec that is supposed to be in your vehicle and recheck for leaks and correct operation again.

Air conditioning refill cost on average is around $145 vehicles with rear air conditioning are usually more.

If any time in the next year your air conditioning system should leak out we will refill it for no charge as long as you allow us to repair what ever is the cause of the leak.

We do this for 2 reasons #1-This guarantees we will have the best price in Lansing for your air conditioning repairs and #2-We want to build your trust and a repeat customer.

Now lets say we do our inspection and we find out it is going to cost you more than you want to spend to repair the leaks in your air conditioning system all you will have to pay us is $60.00 and now you know for sure where the leaks are and what it is going to cost to repair.

We also have the ability to repair leaking sections of air conditioning lines without the need to replace the full hose assemblies saving you hundreds of dollars.

Last is if after initial inspection we find an electrical issue we will instead need to perform electrical diagnosis which is usually $80.00

Our 6 step process

1. Install our brand new state of the art air conditioning machine to check pressure readings.
2. Remove all old freon, air and debris from system and check for leaks
3. Fill with one pound of freon to check correct operation of all a/c components.
4. Add dye trace to system to guarantee the ability to find any future leaks.
5. Either locate source of leak or fill to correct specification according to manufacture
6. Recheck for leaks and record duct temperature

Below is some common questions we receive from many customers who call in to our repair shop and a video we shot in HD on YouTube “How To Recharge Your Air Conditioning”

Q. I have a coupon and it says they will do the same thing for less money.

A. Read the coupon very carefully including the small print. Beware of the a/c inspection scams that include nothing more than lifting your hood and visually inspecting belts and hoses. Also many do not include complete removal of old freon and full recharge with new. Remember it’s not the price on the coupon that ever matters it’s the final price you pay when you leave!

Q. I have an older car and it takes the old R12 freon can you recharge it?

A. Yes, and it only cost around $40 more if you do not have the new style fittings. Contrary to what all other repair shops say R12 and R134a freon gasses are interchangeable. No flushing or replacing of additional parts are needed. What is not interchangeable is the oils that are used in the 2 systems. We have always used a synthetic oil so superior that it works with all a/c systems!

Q. How come I cannot just buy one of those cans or kits to charge my own air conditioning?

A. Only 1 in 10 air conditioning systems can be filled this way. There are many reasons why. #1 The freon leaked out somewhere, if leak is not repaired it will just leak out again #2 If you over fill the system it will not cool and you will damage components #3 If you under fill the system it will not cool #4 If there is air in the system which most do, it will not cool #5 if it is an electrical issue or under dash issue it did not need freon to begin with #6 There are many more but I think you get the point!

Q. How much does it cost to replace my air conditioning compressor?

A. Typical cost for most vehicles is around $800-$1000 newer vehicles and imports can be higher. Most of our compressor repairs have a 3 year warranty parts and labor.

Q. How much does it cost to replace an evaporator core?

A. The evaporator core is located under the dash and in most vehicles require the complete removal of dash, steering column and seats. Average cost is $800-$1000 and takes a full day. Most of our evaporator repairs have a 3 year parts and labor warranty.

Q. How much does it cost to replace my a/c condenser?

A The a/c condensor is located in front of your radiator and typically cost between $300 and $700 to replace.

Q. How long does it take to recharge or refill my air conditioning system?

A. Typically we like to plan for one hour but it can be much sooner especially if you are waiting for the vehicle.
