It took me 20 minutes and $52 in 2024 and my 2015 Mitsubishi is blowing cold now! Not bad for an old lady. I was too afraid of what the shop was going to charge me. So thanks so much!

[youandme]

Thank you so much. It took me 20 minutes and 20 dollars to fix my AC. While AAMCO said $ 1100 and 4 hours. I am Uber driver and I am back on the road. You made my day. Thanks

Who else is sitting in there hot car watching this

[battymu]

Hey just wanna say thank you for this video

Last week my car AC crapped out on me. Scheduled a service appointment for 2 weeks from now. Looked online at this video and went out and bought my own refrigerant can (similar to In this video). Watched your instructions, and followed can instructions.

Now my car is cool. Worked like a charm. Canceled the appointment. Saved me a lot of money and sweat from driving in a hot car with a 2 year old. Thanks sir!!!!

I’m a woman who knows nothing about cars, but this video was amazingly simple & now my car is nice and cool.

[tiffnessxJUDASx]

This needs to be the top video for this topic, so easy to understand I'm not a car person at all, but I was able to do it by myself, no boyfriend needed lol. And I love that my ac no longer feels like it wants to cook me alive :') my long drives to work will definitely be less painful thank you so much!

33F, my car was extremely hot for the last two days and I finally fixed it myself with the help of this great video. It's short and steps are easy to follow. Thank you.

[CarlosMBeal]

Excellent educational information. I'm 71 years old and all went like I had a charm!

[judybramell]

I can't afford a mechanic on SSD and I have no choice but to do it myself. Very clear instructions. Thanks for that.

[javianjohnson]

Just started getting our 80 degree degree days in May to signal the beginning of summer...needed this video, thanks

[Cray_Mrmaid]

OMG U ARE A LIFESAVER!😁😁😁
I was skeptical at first cause I know absolutely nothing bout cars. Bt through your steps I was able to Fix it! Bought it frm Walmart for $30 n only took me less than 10mins. Jiffy Lube was charging me $200. Saved me $170 n gave me knowledge. THANK U SO MUCH!!!♥️😁

[christophersea]

The reminder to shake the bottle throughout the process was extremely helpful

[hfabrams]

I'm a 76 year old woman with a 16 year Highlander...tired of paying RIP off mechanics $130 to add refrigerant each summer!! Will definitely try this!

[Haawwaaii]

Thank you for sharing this, my baby (dog) and I have been suffering in the car lately, first thing I’m doing today is to buy a can of Freon and hopefully fix my A/C, it was around 100 degrees yesterday and I just can’t deal with that specially Bailey, my baby, she will be happy when it gets cooler inside the car, Thanks Again

[tylerschwoerer]

This is a good video, however for those calling mechanica crooks and thieves and whatever else you have to understand that they are doing the actual process of filling your air conditioning. Ita not just shoot a can of freon into your system and feel for temps. It actually draws your system down, see how much was in your vehicle. Then draws it back up and checks to see if it will hold vacuum (ie leak check) as well as putting oil into the system to lubricate your compressor. This is a very easy trick to do if your freon is just low bur dont bash mechanics for the actual process of doing it.

[howardcamner]

Absolutely one of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen: clear, concise, easy. Thanks.

[Jupe]

Wow, I did not realize it is this simple. I was thinking about getting my car in the shop to get this done but if it is this simple, I will give it a try.

[arlenenunez]

The most important thing for me is that you have a short and very informative video. That is such a big help and I thank you for that! 🙌🏼

[msxmurda]

Thank you! I did it all by myself!!! Crooks tried to charge me $249 + tax to refill my ac. I did it for $40.

[tonyferygroup]

Great instructional video! Recharged the AC in my 2008 Chrysler 300 after watching this! Picked up a 22oz can at Walmart for $45 ($10 core return), so $35 and I'm set. Thanks for the step by step details!
