1234yf AC Service Machine

The R1234yf

The Extremely Rare Auto AC Service Equipment You’ve Never Heard of, But Your Car Needs

This is the the R1234yf Refrigerant Evacuation and Recharge Machine. And if you drive a newer model car, your car needs this machine. But chances are, your mechanic does not have one in their shop.

Good Works Auto Repair is one of only a handful of independent shops in the entire East Valley that has the R1234yf Refrigerant Evacuation and Recharge Machine.

What makes this equipment so special is that it is the ONLY machine that can service AC systems for late-model autos from 2016 and on. These vehicles have a new refrigerant formula that requires less refrigerant gas in the AC system. This cannot be substituted with any other type of refrigerant without destroying the integrity of the entire air conditioning system.

So why don’t most mechanics have one? Well, because they are very expensive.

If your mechanic doesn’t have this equipment, however, they could cross-contaminate your car’s AC system with the wrong oil and/or refrigerant. This can destroy the car’s system internally and cost thousands of dollars in damage!

Good Works Auto Repair purchased this machine just a few years ago. Since these machines are so rare, we actually offer this service to other repair shops and body shops to help them service their customers’ cars!

It is just one of the many things Good Works Auto Repair is constantly doing to invest in the latest and most innovative equipment in the industry. We are committed to providing state-of-the-art auto and light truck repair.

1234yf AC Service Machine

The 134a

The Workhorse of the Auto AC Service Equipment Systems

Unlike the the R1234yf, the R134a is an extremely common machine used to service auto AC systems. At Good Works Auto Repair, we actually have three of these workhorse machines. Because of this, we are able to effectively and efficiently service your car’s AC system and get your auto back out on the road blowing crisp, cold air.

Hybrid AC Service  Machine

The Hybrid System

Hybrid Cars Need Specialized AC Repair Equipment!

To further serve our customers’ needs, one of our R134a Systems is actually a more specialized “Hybrid” system.

This less common Hybrid system is the only AC Service System that can be used on Hybrid Cars. It features a cleaning and filtration system that takes all contaminants out of the hoses that are connected to the vehicle’s AC system.

You see, although hybrid vehicles use the same refrigerant, they use a completely different lubrication oil. That is crucial when servicing HYBRID vehicles because the AC compressor on a hybrid is driven by an internal electric motor. This motor emits electromagnetic energy that can attract metallic particles found in the ferrous oil used in conventional vehicle AC systems. Thus, a non-ferrous oil has to be used in Hybrids.

If your mechanic used a regular R134a System, the machine would not be able to remove contaminating oil particulates. Then, that residue would get introduced into the hybrid system. Those particles would eventually destroy the compressor and contaminate the entire system. This could result in a $3,000 to $4,000 repair!

Using the right equipment takes understanding, training, and investment. It is just one of the many things Good Works Auto Repair is constantly doing to offer our Hybrid Auto customers the best service available.
