Corey's Automotive Repair & Service: Your Truck or Car's AC System

At Corey's Automotive Repair & Service 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 224 S Baldwin Ave 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 765-674-4444 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 765-674-4444 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

Super friendly staff

Car & Truck Care, near Gas City, IN

Waited almost 3 weeks for another company to not even touch my vehicle. Had a co-worker that referred CARS. Pulled it home and not only did Corey's guys come and tow my vehicle to his shop they had it done 3 days before I needed it. Highly recommend.

These guys answered my call before they were officially open, towed my truck in some of the crappiest weather and road conditions and had me rolling two days later. Fast, professional service at a VERY reasonable price. I did have an issue with something they repaired after I picked up the truck, but it was past their close time, and no one answered the phone. However, Corey did call me back later that evening, but I had fixed the minor issue myself. I feel like my scenario is 1000% the exception of their norm and i would be the .001% of an issue after repair. Also, had i been local (this truck is based in Ft. Wayne, but broke down in Elwood, and had to be on a job the next day) I am 1000% positive that Corey would have made everything perfect, had i given him the chance. I hope to never be broke down again, but if I am, I hope it's around this shop.
