For drivers in the Washington DC area recharging a vehicle's freon is a fast and inexpensive repair at Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service.

Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service is ready to recharge your car, truck, or jeep's 1234 YF freon. All vehicle AC systems manufactured after 2021 rely on 1234 YF freon as the green solution for keeping your cars cabin cool.

Come to Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service to Replace Your Car's Receiver and Dryer or Accumulator

Your car's compressor is designed to take in air only. Moisture infiltration is an issue for vehicles in the Washington DC area. Water getting into the compressor is a common cause for compressor failure. Your car or truck has either a receiver and dryer or an accumulator to separate air from water to keep the compressor dry.

  • A receiver and dryer are present in vehicles that have a thermal expansion valve.
  • An accumulator is present in a vehicle with an orifice tube. The accumulator is responsible for monitoring and controlling the amount of refrigerant that goes into the evaporator.

The receiver and dryer or accumulator also removes moisture using a desiccant, which is a small, bead-filled packet, and special filters that protect the A/C system from moisture and are easy to replace.

Discover the Best AC Condenser Repair in the Washington DC area

For drivers in the Washington DC area, Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service is the best place for car and truck AC repair. Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service knows vehicle AC systems inside and out. Your vehicle's AC condenser is usually located in the front of the radiator. When your AC compressor is pressurizing the refrigerant flows to the condenser to reduce the temperature and pressure. The condenser is a vital component in keeping your car's cabin temperature cool. It moves the cooled liquid refrigerant to the receiver/dryer or accumulator.

Let Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service Repair Your Car's AC Compressor

At Allstars Auto Clinic and Direct Auto Service our pro auto repair technicians understand new state of the art AC compressors. The cool air in your car is produced primarily by the compressor. Your vehicle's compressor has four main functions including pressurizing the refrigerant to cool cabin air, monitoring and controlling temperature output, sensing temperature changes inside and outside the vehicle, and moving air to your car's AC condenser.
