The function of an air conditioner is to help remove the heat and humidity from inside 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 will:
 | 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 specifications |
PLEASE NOTE: The 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.*
