Even though it’s been more than a decade since its introduction, many auto repair shops still do not offer auto air conditioning R1234YF refrigerant. Brown’s Automotive Experts, Albuquerque’s premier auto repair shops, offer full range of auto ac services and repairs, including R-1234YF recharge.
R-1234YF was specially designed to be more environmentally friendly than the old R134a refrigerant. For your convenience, our Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, and Northeast Heights facilities offer both R134a and R-1234YF refrigerants and have the equipment necessary to perform auto ac refrigerant recharge. R134a is still found in many older vehicles, while R1234YF is prevalent in newer cars. The refrigerants are not interchangeable, hence the need for new equipment to service vehicles that use R1234YF.
If you wonder if your vehicle uses the new refrigerant, it’s best to consult your Owner’s Handbook. You may find one of following designations – they all refer to the new refrigerant: R-1234-YF, HFO-1234, R1234YF, YF1234, HFO-1234-YF, YF-1234 or HFO1234YF
So whether your vehicle uses the old or the new refrigerant, you can count on Brown’s Automotive Experts to get your car’s a/c blowing cold air when the days turn hot. Whether your vehicle needs an a/c check, or you know it has a refrigerant leak, or it just needs R1234yf refill, call Brown’s Automotive Experts. Our friendly service advisors will make an appointment that fits your schedule, while our nationally ASE certified technicians will make sure your vehicle’s air conditioning is ready for the hot summer days.
