Recharge The AC Freon In Your Car Or Truck
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 Hud's Auto Service at 8212 Valencia 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 Hud's Auto Service in Lubbock when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Hud's 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.
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 Hud's Auto Service today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 8212 Valencia 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 Hud's 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 Lubbock 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 806-866-9898 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 8212 Valencia Ave and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Honesty and integrity. Actually didn’t have work done because they analyzed my vehicle and realized it was a tire problem. Didn’t even charge me. Because they were honest and told me the problem without charging, I will be back with all my vehicles.

I've been going to Hud's for several years and they have worked on multiple cars of mine. I've been having persistent issues with my current vehicle, with the AC, and the check engine light kept coming on. It was taken somewhere else (not by me) multiple times and had a few very expensive bandaids slapped on it. Recently, the light came back on, so I took the car to Huds. Their prices are very reasonable and they're kind people who will work with you. As a single woman, this is incredibly important to me. I drove off, and the next day the light came back on so I called Huds. They took the car back in and replaced another part, no extra charge. I appreciate their hard work, honesty, and integrity. Huds actually fixes the problem, not the symptoms.

Excellent and friendly service! Said it would be 2-3 days but we got it back next day! We were met with a smile and listened to. They fixed an issue that was caused by another shop and changed the oil for us because they noticed it needed it. Car sounds great!

Huds Auto went above and beyond helping us with my stepson's truck. From the moment we bought the truck, they were professional, honest, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. They did a phenomenal job, and you can tell they truly care about their customers and the quality of their work. It's hard to find an auto shop you can genuinely trust, but Huds Auto has definitely earned ours. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable, and friendly service. Thank you for taking such great care of us!
