I dropped off my car to have the AC looked at and the mechanic suggested that if there are no large obvious leaks that I add this product to the system. I am waffling as I am a broke student and he is charging $89 if I decide to add it to the recharge process. I looked it up and I could get it on Amazon for 35 before tax and I assume the labor is not anything too much more since he’ll already be working on the AC. Any thoughts? Has anyone used this product? Thanks in advance for any help. ---

Sorry, I should add that that would be $89 on top of the recharge price and the AC makes no noises, but does not produce very cold air, only mildly cooler air than outside. I didn’t know how to edit my initial post. ---

Avoid the $89 product. Will the system perform correctly if correctly charged? Spend the $89.00 to find and fix leaks. How long do you get between recharges? I would like to hear 3 years. ---

Thanks for replying oldschool. Turns out he misquoted me and it was actually $39, which was in line with the prices I found. Actually, before I moved to the midwest from California, I had never recharged the AC. I opted to toss in the stuff after he corrected the price and it seems that the recharge was sufficient to get everything back in order. Now if there was only a cheaper fix to the starter replacement I needed as well… ---

My repair shop recently added the Red Angel A/C Stop Leak & Conditioner to my 95 Saab’s system after several hundred dollars worth of repairs failed to stop all of the leaks. It worked for about 2 weeks and now we’re back to blowing warm air again. Does anyone know what you do when the Red Angel fails? ---

I have used the Red Angel product on over 10 vehicles, all of which were successful and have not seen any of them since.
