Replace Your Car's AC Thermal Expansion Valve or Orifice Tube
Your car or truck's AC system is under extreme pressure and the thermal expansion valve or orifice tube monitors the amount of pressure and the temperature of your A/C system. It calculates the precise amount of refrigerant that can safely go into the evaporator. A failing expansion valve or orifice tube often causes a vehicle's air conditioner to blow hot air.
Replace or Repair
- Expansion Valves: Too much refrigerant causes your evaporator to get too cold whereas too little refrigerant would result in inadequate cooling. The expansion valve is a complex valve that regulates refrigerant flow. This process of metering the refrigerant adjusts the flow according to the temperature of the refrigerant in the evaporator coil. Talk to one of the pro mechanics at All About Price & Select Collision Center, as this part can be replaced on its own and does not require the entire replacement of the AC assembly.
- Orifice Tubes: Unlike the expansion valve, the orifice tube is a simple fixed device with no moving parts. It therefore cannot vary the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, but rather causes a permanent restriction in the system. However, like the expansion valve the orifice tube regulates refrigerant flow through the system and filters debris which may come through in its screen. Often fixing a "bad orifice tube" requires replacing the entire evaporator assembly.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I had a blow out on the interstate. Managed to get my car to the gas station. All About Price answered every question I had and had a tow truck ready to come get my car within an hour. I then came back to get my tires realigned the same day and they had me back safely on the road within the hour. 10/10 service highly recommend.

Was scammed with a bad car, these guys were not only super professional but kind hearted and genuine. Clear explanation of what was happening and more than fair about pricing. Luis is awesome and genuinely a good dude and Tammy on the phone was such a sweetheart.

I went to a few places to get quotes for a collision repair and Luis was by far the best! He took the time to explain to me in detail why the other quotes/shops wouldn’t satisfy what I needed to get done. He explained what the shop would take care of and broke it down instead of just handing me a paper with an estimate. They are very precise with their work and want it to be 100% perfect for themselves and their customers. I would highly recommend to anyone needing repairs!

Having just experienced my 5th go around with collision repair shops; All About Price ranks as my top choice. Should I ever need the services of a collision center again, they will be my first choice.
