Looking for R12 in the Southeast

An automotive AC shop should have it or at least access to it.

 

There is a little auto air shop near the Omni (Mike Carter 404-524-2577)he had several R-12 jugs lying around the last time I was there. There has to be some over in Alabama. What are you looking for juts a top off?

 

Hesco put 4 lbs. in the Mondial earlier this summer.

 

That R12 is expensive stuff. I worked part time at an auto parts dealer last summer for a little extra money and we where selling 20lb containers for $599 as fast as we could get them.

 

Paid $15/lb. a year ago - $50/lb. this year - the 20 lb containers tend to leak - which is very expensive, so many people buy it in 1 lb. containers - which makes all that more expensive.

 

Ask for Jeff - I didn't see the containers personally, but I do trust them.

 

R-12 is readily available just pricey. I think the last time I was looking to buy a 30 lb. jug it was in the high $500 range.

 

Hey Tommy, before I was a Hunter rep, I worked at Dyas Toyota in Auburn. The parts manger there is a good friend of mine still, and I know for a fact he has cases of the cans. He wouldbe happy to sell them. Email me is you can't find any, I live a mile from the dealership. [email protected]

 

Not that this would bother me but it is technically illegal for anyone t buy R12 who is not a licensed A/C repair station. People, can and do, sell and buy it but it is violating EPA laws.

 

There is plenty of this stuff (real R-12) for sale on e-bay as well. You have to either give them your refrigerant license number or a written statement saying it is for resale.

 

I'm licensed.

 

Tilden car care in roswell has R-12. We just had our 1986 4Runner redone
with a new compressor and loaded with R-12. Blows ice chunks now...
