A/C Evacuation and Recharge Service

The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from the
passenger compartment of the vehicle.  Powered by a belt, the air conditioning
compressor compresses the refrigerant to pressurize it and pump it through the system.  
The refrigerant is pushed through a valve where pressure and temperature are
reduced. The now-cool refrigerant travels through the evaporator in the passenger
compartment. As a result, cooled air is blown into your vehicle. This refrigerant returns
to the compressor, where the cycle begins once again.

Jiffy Lube® certified technicians:         
  • visually inspect the air conditioning compressor drive belt for cracks or
    damage
  • visually inspect accessible components for leaks or damage  
  • check the operation of the air conditioning compressor and other air
    conditioning components   evacuate refrigerant from the system     
  • vacuum test the system
  • recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant to the
    system capacity according to the vehicle manufacturer's specification

PLEASE NOTE: Our service is designed as a periodic maintenance service rather
than a detailed troubleshooting or repair service. Jiffy Lube® technicians are certified
through an EPA approved training program. Jiffy Lube® technicians begin the service
by checking for signs of leaks. We do not recommend servicing systems with detected
leaks.*
