When the time comes to recharge your vehicle’s A/C, the A/C Pro® phone app is here to help you. Step by step instructions, specifically tailored to your vehicle, guide you through the process. From locating the low side pressure port to letting you know when the recharge is complete, the instructions are seamless and easy to follow. If you are using an A/C Pro® product with Smartcharge TM technology, the app will connect to the gauge via Bluetooth.

Don’t feel like reading instructions? Alternatively, the app also provides handy instructional videos that are also specific to your vehicle’s year, make and model to help guide you through the recharge process.

The App also provides access to the A/C spec database, which provides refrigerant and oil specifications and capacities by vehicle. And if you still need additional help using an A/C Pro® product, the app will connect you directly with our support team. Thank you for choosing A/C Pro for all of your Auto A/C needs.
