A/C Recharge Service

Why Might My Toyota Need It's Refrigerant Recharged?

Leaks and contamination are two main problems the refrigerant in your system might face. Whether your refrigerant is leaking out or it has been contaminated, the result is the same: it will be less effective at creating cold air. Our technicians will check the system for large leaks during a refrigerant recharge service, fixing them if they find any. Afterward, they will drain the old refrigerant and replace it with the precise amount of new refrigerant that's required.

Can I Use a DIY Recharge Kit?

Although DIY refrigerant recharge kits can be found in many auto parts stores, it's not a good idea to use them. Even if you're sure that you get the right kind of refrigerant (mixing them can cause trouble), you will not have all the tools needed. While these kits often have rudimentary gauges, they don't have the precision measuring instruments needed to ensure that you're not putting too much into the system. We have these instruments at Berglund Toyota. A recharge may also not fix the problem, which is where an inspection at Berglund Toyota comes in.
