Default Classic Auto AC Repair Shop

The AC stopped blowing cold on my 1992 Lexus SC300.
Looking for the best shop to take it for service/repair. What places do you recommend for classic cars? Thanks!

I have used Wildwood Tire for over 10 years, I would give them a call to see if they can do this, I expect they can. Second choice Sumter Tire, they worked on my '66 mustang. Your biggest problem will probably be the refrigerant.

Sumter Tire.

I've used Wildwood Tire a few times, but they didn't take appointments.
It was........drop off your car and we "should" get to it.

Had a '91 with the old refrigerant (now somewhere between unobtainium and ridiculously expensive.
Had them convert to the newer refrigerant which is primarily changing the fittings.
Vacuum the system (pull vacuum to completely vacate - always best anyway for any pro-AC work), and install new refrig.
I could not tell the difference in performance.
