Midway Automotive, Inc.: Your Truck or Car's AC System
At Midway Automotive, Inc. we understand how your AC system works. Your car or truck's AC system uses a Freon gas type refrigerant for cooling. For automotive applications, Freon is refined into tetrafluoroethane, a non-toxic, non-flammable and non-corrosive gas called R134a. The ability of the refrigerant gas to change its physical properties into a liquid as it is compressed and condensed keeps you cool on hot summer days.

If your AC system starts blowing warm air come by the store at 15696 Wisconsin 27 Wisconsin 70 and talk with one of our auto parts specialists to determine what parts you need to get your AC working again.
Your AC compressor is the auto part responsible for compressing the refrigerant R134a. When it is compressed it becomes very hot. Because hot is the opposite of what drivers want in an AC system, the refrigerant must be cooled.
R134a is cooled by your car AC condenser. This auto part is a series of coils that look very similar to a radiator. Just like a radiator, outside air passes over the condenser to remove the heat from the compressed gas. It is then condensed into a very wet cold liquid. The receiver-drier absorbs excess moisture from the liquid. Next, your AC filter traps debris within the liquid that can cause clogging in your car's AC system. Call 715-865-2581 today and let our auto parts specialists help you find the right compressor, condenser or receiver drier to fit your car or truck.
At this point, the refrigerant liquid is still under too much pressure. The expansion valve and orifice tube take over and force the refrigerant to change from a high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist before it enters the evaporator.
As the low-pressure liquid refrigerant mist flows through the evaporator, a blower motor pushes air across the cold tubes of the evaporator and cooled dry air flows into the passenger compartment of the automobile. The accumulator is a holding tank for the refrigerant as it exits the evaporator. While the refrigerant is circulating inside, the accumulator removes any moisture that may be present.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I cannot say enough great things about Paul and Midway Automotive! I had a flat tire, limped into Midway and Paul took the time to look at my tire to see if it could be fixed. Unfortunately, it was not fixable and Paul did not have the tire I needed, but he put my spare on and gave me a few names to call to get a tire. In addition, he did some calling on his own to see if he could find a used tire for me! What a great guy! He did not have to do that, but went over and beyond to help! I would take my car or truck to Paul and trust him completely to do whatever I need! Midway is a little treasure in Stone Lake! No need to go to the bigger cities when Paul can help!
We found ourselves in need of an automotive shop to look at our car. Being from out of state, we contacted the nearest shop, Midway Automotive, Inc and hoped for the best. We were not disappointed. They got us in quickly, assessed the issue, and got us on our way the next morning; honest with what needed to be done and didn't overcharge us! I wish they were located where we live as I would take my cars to them every time! Thank you, Paul and your mechanics for a job well job.
