Auto Truck & Trailer: Your Truck or Car's AC System
At Auto Truck & Trailer 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 3027 E 8th St 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 270-686-7003 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.

What Our Customers Are Saying
My family has used them for atleast 20 yrs and always been good to us.
Owensboro, KY
Just had an oil change here in my 2014 Mustang GT and they do all kinds of work here. II brought it in and was back on my way in no time at all. I love this place, they do great work at a great price!
Great experience with them, very friendly and made it a priority to repair my car quickly. I live out of state and was afraid to take my car to a strange shop, but just the phone conversation was very welcoming. I would recommend them to anyone.
1. They actually answer the phone 2. They kept the original scheduled service date. 3. They finished quickly and promptly and were polite. 4. Im not the smartest man in the world, but i feel like the labor was priced very fair. Will be taking my powerstroke to them from now on.
