5th Annual TAG TRUCK CENTER Tech Challenge The EVENT: The 5th Annual TAG Truck Center Tech Challenge took place Saturday, March 2nd at the Service Center in TAG Truck Center’s Memphis Location. The PARTICIPANTS: 11 technicians chosen by their peers at their individual dealership locations competed. 7 volunteer judges from the TAG/LTG organization would determine the winners. The CHALLENGE: There were 5 stations. At each station, the technician was challenged to fix several “bugs” purposefully set on the equipment and each station was timed at 20 minutes. Technicians were judged not only by time, but by the amount of fixes they made at each station.

Refrigerant Additives: I n todays world of highly marketed items, sometimes its hard to know what you are purchasing. Often times what you don’t know can hurt Many of the more marketed refrigerants are not pure refrigerant. They may contain things like, dye, oil, and sealant. What most people don’t realize is that some additives may harm your a/c system. There are different types of oil, as well as weights. Installing the incorrect oil can cause damage to your a/c compressor. Sealants are another concern. The way most sealants work is they look for moisture in the system. Once it reaches an area that contains moisture, it begins to expand and fill the area. The issue is that sealants can plug condensers, evaporators, driers, as well as expansion valves or orifice tubes. Most manufacturers do not recognize refrigerant sealants as a valid repair. In many cases sealants can actually void the manufactures HVAC warranty. you, or in the case of refrigerant additives, hurt your a/c system.
Sealants, Dye, Oil?
When purchasing refrigerant, it is recommended to read the label and verify that it is pure refrigerant, and no additives are contained. this includes not only the components, but also the refrigerant that is utilized. It is a best practice to repair an a/c system back to factory standards,
REPAIRS ARE EXTRA. IF NEEDED, YOU MAY REQUEST AN ESTIMATE FOR PARTS & LABOR. PRICE EFFECTIVE THROUGH May 31, 2019
