De Anza Auto Repair: Your Truck or Car's AC System
At De Anza Auto Repair we understand how your AC system works. Your car or truck's AC system uses a Freon gas type refrigerant for cooling. For automotive applications, Freon is refined into tetrafluoroethane, a non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive gas called R134a. The ability of the refrigerant gas to change its physical properties into a liquid as it is compressed and condensed keeps you cool on hot summer days.

If your AC system starts blowing warm air come by the store at 1190 W Evelyn Ave and talk with one of our auto parts specialists to determine what parts you need to get your AC working again.
Your AC compressor is the auto part responsible for compressing the refrigerant R134a. When it is compressed it becomes very hot. Because hot is the opposite of what drivers want in an AC system, the refrigerant must be cooled.
R134a is cooled by your car AC condenser. This auto part is a series of coils that look very similar to a radiator. Just like a radiator, outside air passes over the condenser to remove the heat from the compressed gas. It is then condensed into a very wet cold liquid. The receiver-drier absorbs excess moisture from the liquid. Next, your AC filter traps debris within the liquid that can cause clogging in your car's AC system. Call 408-245-3732 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right compressor, condenser or receiver drier to fit your car or truck.
At this point, the refrigerant liquid is still under too much pressure. The expansion valve and orifice tube take over and force the refrigerant to change from a high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist before it enters the evaporator.
As the low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist flows through the evaporator, a blower motor pushes air across the cold tubes of the evaporator and cooled dry air flows into the passenger compartment of the automobile. The accumulator is a holding tank for the refrigerant as it exits the evaporator. While the refrigerant is circulating inside, the accumulator removes any moisture that may be present.
Call 408-245-3732 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right expansion value, orifice tube, and evaporator to fit your car or truck.

Went here to fix my Turo car. April had been very helpful through and through! She helped with the insurance process and has made it seem less for me. Would recommend and come back again!
April was very helpful to my daughter and her Porsche, Boxster. So, when my Prius had problems, I knew who to turn to. It turned out to be a serious problem (head gasket) and both April and Mo's brother John were sensitive to the many issues a retired older person on a fixed income has. They still provided excellent service, treated me with respect and worked with me to find a mix of what I could afford, without compromising the necessary repairs. I felt like I had gained family by the time I got my car back. So, when our Lexus had problems and left me stranded in Auburn, California, I knew who to call -- April worked with me to get the engine codes, run them through her mechanics, determine where I could go locally to find out if it was safe to drive it home and April kept checking up on me -- her last call was well after their closing hours when I had been cleared and was driving it back to their shop. I feel like they really care about people they are not just fixing cars. I am a customer here for life.
I recently had my car serviced at De Anza Auto Repair and I was extremely impressed with their honesty and fair pricing. The customer service was phenomenal, with the staff being friendly and knowledgeable. They explained everything to me in detail and even gave me some tips on how to better maintain my car. Overall, I highly recommend De Anza Auto Repair for their exceptional service and great prices.
