Subject:Freeze 12 Update
From:Maggie Dew
Date:Sat, 8 Jul 2006 17:35:27 -0600

I searched for a few weeks and couldn't find a shop who would deal with my
AC system with Freeze 12 in it.  Finally, while I was talking to yet another
mechanic who wouldn't touch it, he suggested I go to a FLAPS and see if I
could find out who is BUYING Freeze 12.  Now why didn't I think of that?  I
went to the Checker store here in Santa Fe and Sef (the manager I think)
spent a fair amount of time on the phone tracking this down, eventually
calling the regional distributor.  Through him I found a shop in Albuquerque
who will convert the Freeze 12 to R134.  They were also willing to listen to
me about using enough oil in the dual system (10-12 ounces instead of 4), so
maybe, just maybe, I will have AC next week when I go pick up three
grandkids and a dog in Oklahoma.
