Everest Adopts Use of New R1234yf Refrigerant

Automotive technology is constantly changing and at Everest Auto Repair we are committed to keeping up with these advancements.

One of these recent changes is the adoption of a new, more environmentally friendly, refrigerant that will be required in all new vehicles sold by the year 2021. Many manufacturers have already started outfitting their vehicles to this new refrigerant.

The previous refrigerant, R134a that has been in use since 1994 is being phased out to be replaced by the new R1234yf refrigerant.

Currently, about 50% of new vehicles sold are coming equipped with the new refrigerant and most consumers are not even aware of this change.

If your new vehicle is in need of air conditioning service and equipped with the new refrigerant, we are proud to say that we are one of a very small handful of independent shops currently able to service it. We have the equipment needed to perform diagnostics, evacuate, and recharge R1234yf systems and our technicians have been trained on this process and are ready to help.

Stop by, give us a call, or send us an email if your new vehicle needs a/c service and of course, we still have all the equipment to service older R134a systems as well!
