Blowing warm? York Auto gets your A/C cold again - tested, not guessed.

- •Refrigerant recharge for both R-134a and newer 1234yf systems
- •Leak detection and root-cause diagnosis for weak or warm air

Every A/C visit at our Boring shop begins with a performance test. We measure vent temperature and the system's high- and low-side pressures and inspect the compressor, condenser, hoses, and fittings, so we can tell you what is actually happening instead of guessing. From there you get a straight explanation and clear options.
If your system just needs service, we recover the old refrigerant, evacuate the lines, and recharge to your manufacturer's specification with the correct refrigerant for your vehicle. If a leak is behind the poor cooling, we track it to its source and fix the cause - topping off a leaking system only buys a few weeks before you are warm again.
York Automotive Repair sits on SE Hwy 212, an easy stop for drivers from Boring, Damascus, Sandy, Gresham, Happy Valley, and Eagle Creek. We are open Monday through Friday, and an after-hours key drop lets you leave your vehicle on your own schedule.
What A/C Service Involves and Why It Matters
Your vehicle's air conditioning is a sealed, pressurized loop that circulates refrigerant to pull heat and humidity out of the cabin. It does more than keep you comfortable on a hot afternoon on Highway 212 - it also dries the air that feeds your defroster, which helps keep your windshield clear through Oregon's damp months. When any part of that loop falls out of balance, cooling suffers.
Over the years, small amounts of refrigerant naturally seep past seals and fittings, and a system that is even slightly low will blow cooler-than-outside air instead of truly cold air. An A/C performance test measures how your system is actually behaving - vent temperature along with high- and low-side pressures - so the real condition is measured rather than guessed at.
How York Handles Your A/C: Tested, Not Guessed
We have been the family-run shop in Boring since 2000, and we approach A/C the same honest way we approach everything: measure first, then explain what we find. Every A/C job starts with a performance test - we read system pressures, check vent temperature, and inspect the compressor, condenser, hoses, and fittings before recommending anything.
We are equipped for both older R-134a systems and the newer 1234yf refrigerant found in many recent vehicles, and we service all makes and models. If your system simply needs to be recovered, evacuated, and recharged to the manufacturer's specification, that is what we will do. If we find a leak, we will show you where it is and fix the cause instead of topping off refrigerant that will only escape again.
Qualifying parts and labor are backed by the NAPA AutoCare nationwide warranty, so the repair holds up whether you are home in Boring or a long way down the road.
Signs Your A/C Needs Attention
The most common sign is air that blows warm or only mildly cool, or a system that takes far longer than it used to before the cabin cools down. Weak airflow, a musty smell when you first switch it on, an unusual noise as the compressor engages, or windows that fog and will not clear are all worth having looked at.
It is also smart to have A/C checked before the first real heat of summer rather than in the middle of it. A system that is low on refrigerant is also low on the oil that lubricates the compressor, and a starved compressor is a much larger repair than a timely recharge or leak fix. Catching a small problem early usually keeps it small.
Comfortable, Reliable Cooling, Done Right
You do not have to know what is wrong with your A/C to bring it in. Tell us what you are noticing, and we will run the test, show you the readings, and walk you through your options in plain language - no pressure and no upsell.
