Your truck or car's AC system is almost completely airtight, but your freon refrigerant is always slowly leaking out. Eventually, a car will lose enough freon so that its air conditioning system will no longer cool effectively. At Cahill's Tire & Auto Service at 33 Sutton Ave we are ready to recharge your AC to help you keep your car or truck's cabin temperature cool.
"Help My AC Only Blows Warm Air!"
New advancements in R134a freon systems means that freon in newer cars doesn't leak out as much as old R12 freon systems. The average new model economy car only leaks about 0.41 ounces of refrigerant per year. Come to Cahill's Tire & Auto Service in Oxford when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Cahill's Tire & Auto Service's Fast 3 Step Process:
- Vacuum out all the old refrigerant before refilling it.
- Add new R134a refrigerant.
- Pressurize your car's AC system and test for mico-leaks.
"Does Cahill's Tire & Auto Service Have R12 Freon For My Classic Car?"
Unfortunately R12 freon is no longer available. If your car or truck was made before 1994 you must convert your entire AC system to the new R134a standard. This involves replacing dozens of seals and several AC auto parts. R134a is a more highly pressurized and much more efficient refrigerant pound for pound than R12. Most classic car AC compressors and condensers cannot withstand the intense pressure required and choose to add about 25% less freon to accommodate older systems. This means your AC may not cool as well as it used to. Converting your R12 system to R134a is a big job so stop by Cahill's Tire & Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 33 Sutton Ave.
"Is Used Freon Ok?"
Many auto repair shops resell used AC refrigerant. The old freon is cleaned using a specialized recovery machine that removes contaminants. Used freon provided by Cahill's Tire & Auto Service works just as well as new freon after it's cleaned. Accepting used freon is a great way to help minimize the impact freon has on the environment.
Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in Oxford are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call 508-987-0603 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 33 Sutton Ave and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.
What People Say About Us
I get all my automotive work done at Cahill’s. I think they do great work. They’re not too expensive and they have been good to me. On Monday 11/18/2024, I had a tuneup and fuel injection cleaning. The service cost less than the quoted estimate. They changed my engine and my cabin air filter. I didn’t expect that to be part of the tuneup and I didn’t think they needed to be changed so I overreacted and yelled at the woman that was working the desk. She didn’t deserve that. Cahill’s are the best mechanics in the Oxford area. I highly recommend.

I am on disability and severely needed 4 new tires on my car. I called around to multiple places to get quotes on tires and everywhere I called I couldn't afford, or the place was trying to get away with giving me the worst tires at the highest price. I called Cahills and got a quote for 4 tires balanced with an alignment cheaper than anywhere around, and the tires were better quality than any of the other places. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had taken my car to the dealership 2 days prior to going to Cahills and was told there was a wheel bearing issue, and Cahills confirmed this but quoted me less than half the price for repair as the dealership. I'll be calling tomorrow to schedule wheel bearing repair with Cahills.
Wonderful customer service-called about a radiator leak and they were able to get my car in the very next day. Job was done in 1 day and just below their quoted price. My husband is pretty handy and luckily is able to take care of most maintenance and issues but for all jobs too big for the drive way, these are definitely my go to mechanics-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Thank you again for such great service!
