What’s Included with an IN‘n’OUT Air Conditioning Service
We visually inspect the air conditioner compressor drive belt, serpentine belt and all accessible components for cracks, leaks or damage. We then check the operation of the compressor. If no leaks or damage is detected, then we evacuate the refrigerant gas, vacuum test it, and recharge the air conditioning system using the appropriate refrigerant gas for your vehicle. In addition, we recommend an extra decontaminate treatment to kill all bacteria.
