My family has a 99 dakota and It has a freon leak. Anyone here work on cars that can give an estimate on what it will cost to fix it? Any common areas where it can leak that is simple to fix? I am no expert but can do small mechanical jobs. Thanks in advance for the help.
How long does it take to leak out enough to require a can or two? My work truck was leaking a couple of cans every other week and I put in a can of stop leak a couple of weeks ago and it is still holding 38lbs (fingers crossed).
I would try a can of stop leak then. Not going to hurt and it may get you through the next few months.
I used a can of super seal in a 1990 z71 & a Nissan Frontier that had problems holding a charge. The Z71 would last about 3 days & the Nissan about a week. I put a can of the super seal in each one at the beginning of summer and they're still going strong.

That's the stuff.
We do alot of ac work. I dont charge for pressure testing. Most of the time its better to fix the problem than to try to patch it (leak sealer) . Im in okc if u bring it by we can look at it together
What part of town is your shop located. My daughters vehicle broke down and may have you look at it. I'm super busy with work and gonna look at it again tomorrow. May be over my head.
I would agree with getting it looked at. Some shops won't touch your system after you put the stop leak in it as it can cause major problems with their equipment from what I am told. They would rather pass on some work where they may make a couple hundred after expenses than to have to repair a machine that isn't none too cheap.
What is the address and ill stop by sometime this week?
