Greg's Auto Service and Repair: Your Truck or Car's AC System
At Greg's Auto Service and Repair we understand how your AC system works. Your car or truck's AC system uses a Freon gas type refrigerant for cooling. For automotive applications, Freon is refined into tetrafluoroethane, a non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive gas called R134a. The ability of the refrigerant gas to change its physical properties into a liquid as it is compressed and condensed keeps you cool on hot summer days.

If your AC system starts blowing warm air come by the store at 11264 Midland Blvd and talk with one of our auto parts specialists to determine what parts you need to get your AC working again.
Your AC compressor is the auto part responsible for compressing the refrigerant R134a. When it is compressed it becomes very hot. Because hot is the opposite of what drivers want in an AC system, the refrigerant must be cooled.
R134a is cooled by your car AC condenser. This auto part is a series of coils that look very similar to a radiator. Just like a radiator, outside air passes over the condenser to remove the heat from the compressed gas. It is then condensed into a very wet cold liquid. The receiver-drier absorbs excess moisture from the liquid. Next, your AC filter traps debris within the liquid that can cause clogging in your car's AC system. Call 314-428-4000 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right compressor, condenser or receiver drier to fit your car or truck.
At this point, the refrigerant liquid is still under too much pressure. The expansion valve and orifice tube take over and force the refrigerant to change from a high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist before it enters the evaporator.
As the low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist flows through the evaporator, a blower motor pushes air across the cold tubes of the evaporator and cooled dry air flows into the passenger compartment of the automobile. The accumulator is a holding tank for the refrigerant as it exits the evaporator. While the refrigerant is circulating inside, the accumulator removes any moisture that may be present.
Call 314-428-4000 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right expansion value, orifice tube, and evaporator to fit your car or truck.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I'm a 28-year-old female professional, who has spent many years as an extremely WARY customer of auto shops. This sense of distrust was a result of a myriad of bad experiences with mechanics who took advantage of my lack of knowledge for cars. HOWEVER, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND putting your faith in Greg's Auto Service and Repair. This is a remarkably well-run business, operated by an owner who actually cares about his customers - not an ounce of greed in this man's heart. My car was in dire need of good attention, and that's exactly what it got. I'm so thankful I stumbled across his business, and I wouldn't take my car anywhere else after working with Greg and his wife Marsha. What a team! This is a MUST-GO repair shop.
