I think this is a question that is on the minds of a lot of new vehicle owners, especially owners that are used to servicing their own vehicles. Can you service R1234yf AC systems as a DIYer?
In this video I offer my take on this question and also offer helpful advice on servicing AC systems in general.

At my shop we weren’t expecting the number of hondas coming in with A/C problems that use 1234-yf. Up here in Canada our shop ended up paying $50/oz of the new stuff!
is it me, or is #RightToRepair starting to be an issue in all goods? glad that DC ev's are stupidly simple… take a great auto form.. mustang, gmt400, anything with a manual trans will kick ass with the right motor.
Well dang. Cant service the old either.
Love my r12 ??
Like the birthday wishes, but the electronic cake is kinda dry and tasteless.
could care less..ill never buy a new car anyway.
Great Video Topic Eric. I Agree AC should be looked at by a professional rather than topping off the system and hoping for the best. There’s a reason why it’s not working correctly and mostly from what I’ve seen this hot season is leaks more so than electrical.
Fuck the ozone
"Whatever it is that you have that sweats" Priceless Eric, thanks for sharing,

Eric. what is the A/C problem with New Honda Vehicles.? as a shop owner i have not invested in the new A/C system yet. its $6000+ for the machine and $800+ for the 10lb refrigerant. will not be able to recoup that investment at this time. i talked to other shop owner and they are not buying it yet. some body shop have it already though. A/C service cost for customer will go up significantly. i expect at least $300+ per service. close to the home A/C Service price.
Just a little FYI: Iso-Butane is a better refrigerant than Propane. But, like you said, flammable. Now, consider that your A/C system is a closed loop. And, barring a catastrophic accident, will not start a fire. Unlike the movies, compressed Propane will not explode when punctured by anything. Even if a flame is present – no explosion – just a rush of flame and them – out.
