Freon Recharging FAQs
How often should Freon be changed?
Never, at least not in the way you think of your oil being changed. Your car's AC system is a sealed unit. No new Freon needs to be added unless there's a refrigerant leak. Over time as your vehicle ages small cracks may form in your AC system parts such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, receiver-dryer, expansion tube and connecting hoses allowing Freon to escape. If this occurs, you need to replace the failing part and have your Freon recharged.
How long should a Freon recharge last?
If your car's AC system was recently repaired and required a Freon recharge it should not need to be replaced again. Your AC system is a closed or sealed system that does not allow Freon to escape. Freon is not like gasoline; it does not get depleted. If Freon is escaping after your car's AC system has been repaired, then additional work may need to be done to find the leak.
How many cans of Freon does a car take?
Don't guesstimate your car's refrigerant needs! Most use 28-32 ounces (2-3 12oz cans), but larger vehicles and rear A/C can be different. Check your manual for the exact amount to avoid overfilling.
Can I leave my car running when adding Freon?
It is advised to have your engine running while recharging your car's A/C system. This is essential as the A/C compressor, powered by the engine, must be active to facilitate proper refrigerant circulation and ensure an effective recharge.
Why is my car blowing hot air after adding Freon?
A refrigerant leak can lead to a loss of pressure in the AC system, resulting in a failure to produce cold air. This is frequently the primary reason a recharge may prove ineffective. It is crucial to inspect the system for leaks and address any issues before proceeding with a recharge.

We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
Can not say enough good things about Andrew, Sandro, Ruben and the whole group at Avus Autosport. As soon as you walk in you can tell that they take pride in their work. The shop is what you would want it to look like if you built one yourself. However the most important part of any shop is their knowledge and here once again they excel. The work they did on my car was top notch and done in an expedient manner. They know exactly what they are doing and then get it done in a reasonable time frame. Each time I have taken my car here they have been less expensive than I was thinking and done better work than I was expecting. They also stand behind their work and are extremely accommodating when addressing any issues or questions you may have.
Trust in this industry is very rare, and reviews like this are normally always biased with people reviewing shops based only on personality of people working there and without knowing what goes into the actual work being done. When you see someone leave a five star review, how do you know that they know the work that has gone into the car? Usually people have no idea what shops do to their cars. In my case, my business is in the automotive industry and I deal with shops on a daily basis. I can say with absolute certainty that Avus Autosport is run by people that love cars, and treat my cars as if they were theirs. Their mechanics have the experience and in-depth knowledge around any of the BMW’s or Porsche’s that I’ve brought in, and only use the best vendors as I’ve used their vendors as well. All in all I can say that for any German or European car, Avus is the one shop that I can trust 100% to be friendly, yes, but to truly do the work in the right manor with the utmost care that I look for. Thank you guys for always taking care of any car that I bring you!!
