Your truck or car's AC system is almost completely airtight, but your freon refrigerant is always slowly leaking out. Eventually, a car will lose enough freon so that its air conditioning system will no longer cool effectively. At Main Street Garage at 725 Huron Ave we are ready to recharge your AC to help you keep your car or truck's cabin temperature cool.
"Help My AC Only Blows Warm Air!"New advancements in R134a freon systems means that freon in newer cars doesn't leak out as much as old R12 freon systems. The average new model economy car only leaks about 0.41 ounces of refrigerant per year. Come to Main Street Garage in Port Huron when it's time to recharge your AC freon.
Main Street Garage's Fast 3 Step Process:- Vacuum out all the old refrigerant before refilling it.
- Add new R134a refrigerant.
- Pressurize your car's AC system and test for mico-leaks.
Unfortunately R12 freon is no longer available. If your car or truck was made before 1994 you must convert your entire AC system to the new R134a standard. This involves replacing dozens of seals and several AC auto parts. R134a is a more highly pressurized and much more efficient refrigerant pound for pound than R12. Most classic car AC compressors and condensers cannot withstand the intense pressure required and choose to add about 25% less freon to accommodate older systems. This means your AC may not cool as well as it used to. Converting your R12 system to R134a is a big job so stop by Main Street Garage today and talk with our mechanics about getting the job done right. Visit us today at 725 Huron Ave.
"Is Used Freon Ok?"Many auto repair shops resell used AC refrigerant. The old freon is cleaned using a specialized recovery machine that removes contaminants. Used freon provided by Main Street Garage works just as well as new freon after it's cleaned. Accepting used freon is a great way to help minimize the impact freon has on the environment.
Freon gas becomes a liquid when pressurized inside your car's A/C system but returns to its gaseous state as it leaks out. Many drivers in Port Huron are completely unaware that they are losing freon until the day when they turn on the car's AC and find only warm air blows out. Call 810-984-1545 and ask any of our auto repair specialists about recharging your car's AC. Stop by our store at 725 Huron Ave and we will show you the best AC recharging options for your car.

I discovered Dale’s business, Mainstreet Garage, after moving to Port Huron in 2014. Before switching my major to Information Technology, I enrolled in the GM Automotive Service Educational Program at Delta College in Saginaw, originally intending to become a GM-certified mechanic. That training gave me a solid foundation—I’m fully capable of repairing my own vehicles and handle most of my maintenance myself. That said, there are times when I lack the lift, specialty tools, or the time to complete the repairs myself. Dale’s business stands out for one simple reason: they know what they’re doing, and they’re honest. On more than one occasion, I’ve brought in one of my vehicles with parts already in hand—either due to time constraints or the need for specialty tools—and they’ve still taken on the job. That’s rare. Most shops rely on parts sales as a key revenue stream and won’t touch a job unless they’re supplying everything themselves. Most recently, I had to undergo back surgery after starting the disassembly of my 2017 Equinox Premier AWD with the 3.6L LFX V6 and I was unable to replace every component behind the timing cover, along with the water pump, which has to come off anyway to access the cover. Dale’s team didn’t hesitate to step in and finish the job. I know, without question, that I can bring any of my vehicles to them and trust they’ll get it done—whether they’re providing the parts or not. That kind of flexibility and integrity is hard to find. If you’re looking for a shop that treats you right and knows their craft, look no further. Dale and his exceptionally competent team will take care of you. I can’t speak highly enough of these gentlemen, and I’m genuinely grateful to have a business I can trust.
Called for a quote and the guy was to the point. I’m so glad I came across this place. I haven’t even went here yet and seeing the reviews and the pricing. This is my new go to.
