Real Work

Real jobs, real cars, shot on the job. Mobile Car AC comes to you — here's what that looks like.

2003 Ford Ranger — Covina, Oct 29

Leaking high-side hose assembly. Accumulator, orifice tube, and hose assembly replaced; system vacuumed and holding. The old accumulator came out with dye on the fittings — that's the leak telling on itself.

1973 Dodge Dart — Van Nuys, Oct 29

Factory AC, converted to R-134a, original Mopar compressor (P/N 3502608). Evacuation done — 1 lb 11 oz recovered. The owner is doing his own repair next, then it's a new drier, a full vacuum, and the recharge.

Infiniti coupe — curbside

Evac and recharge — and the job also called for a condenser. That's the diagnostic earning its keep: a charge alone doesn't fix a failed part. And if a charge goes in and the job needs something else, the refrigerant comes right back out and fresh refrigerant goes in — as many times as a customer needs.

One rule before you touch anything

Caution: refrigerant under pressure pictogram

Don't crack open a pressurized system. Recover it first. Refrigerant under pressure boils the second it hits air — cold enough to freeze-burn skin and eyes on contact. That's what this label is warning about, and it's why every job here starts with recovery.
