Your car or truck's AC system is under extreme pressure and the thermal expansion valve or orifice tube monitors the amount of pressure and the temperature of your A/C system. It calculates the precise amount of refrigerant that can safely go into the evaporator. A failing expansion valve or orifice tube often causes a vehicle's air conditioner to blow hot air.

Recommended by a family member and friend. I do all my work, period, as I work as a mechanic in a different industry and don't like others working on my vehicles. That being said, sometimes you just can't do it all, like welding and specific exhuast work. Brought my car in, showed them what I wanted, they worked with me and gave me a few suggestions, gave me a timeframe and got right to it. Came back later to a lower then expected price and excellent service. Explained and showed me what was done, and I couldn't be happier. These guys earned my trust in one visit. Even came back the next day for an un-related item I wanted then to look at, fixed that for me too easy and fast. Great shop, super friendly mechanics, highly recommended.
