  • Outlet temperature analysis designed to determine cooling performance
  • System pressure check
  • Visual inspection of A/C components
  • A blacklight inspection of your A/C system using an injection of ultraviolet dye and 5 ounces refrigerant that provides enough pressure to course through the system and expose leaks
    • There are times where a vehicle must be driven for a period of time in order for the leak to be seen.
