The constant vibration of car air conditioners makes them especially prone to CFC leaks. To protect the ozone layer, and reduce greenhouse gases, many experts now recommend that you have your car's A/C system tested every two years, with any suspect hoses and fittings replaced. Be sure to have this work done at a garage that uses CFC recycling equipment, so the CFCs are not vented to the atmosphere.

have this equipment: Ford, General Motors, Nissan, and Volvo
have committed to have the equipment in dealer's shops during

BE SURE your dealer or mechanic has this important CFC recycling
equipment!

to make these bags available to all their service outlets during
