AC Service

  • On my 05 LJ,. The AC needs a good recharge. Any suggestions? Should I just get a home charger kit? See how that goes? Or any suggestions on a shop?

  • Technically speaking, you should go to a shop so they can pull a vacuum and then add the refrigerant. But, considering that you're more than likely going to need to replace some stuff in a year or two... might as well save the money and just get a kit from Advance Auto (right, TheDarkSide ?). If you want to get it taken care of properly now, check with an AC shop to diagnose why it's low. It leaked somewhere... if you're lucky, it'll just be a dry rotted o-ring, but more likely you'll have to swap out the evaporator or condenser. Hopefully not the evaporator, that's a PITA to replace.

  • Thanks, I have an appointment with The Garage in Elkton. Jeff Celeste's shop. Should be all set. He's giving the club a discount, so I'll be posting a review.

  • The Garage did a great job. AC is nice and cold, did a full evac/leak test/ new Schrader valves and recharged. Great deal and fast
