Sacramento, Calif. – The Cool Air Rebate (CAR) Program, which provides financial assistance to low-income Californians to repair leaking vehicle air conditioning systems, has announced the formal statewide launch of the Program.
The CAR Program also announced a partnership with NAPA Auto Care to broaden access statewide.
“During the scorching summer months, when temperatures frequently exceed 100 degrees across California, having a functional air conditioning system in a vehicle is not just a convenience—it’s a critical safety measure,” said Nathan Perrine, Executive Director of the Car Care Council.
The Cool Air Rebate Program is committed to addressing faulty vehicle air conditioning systems that leak R-134a. Since July 2024, the CAR Program has:
- Repaired 833 vehicle air conditioning systems
- Paid more than $950,000 for leaking vehicle AC repairs
- Certified 145 auto repair shops
- Certified auto repair shops in located in 79 cities
As part of the partnership, NAPA Auto Care-affiliated shops will have exclusive opportunities to participate in the CAR Program.
Acknowledging the momentum and growth of certified auto repair shops signing up to offer the CAR Program, the Car Care Council honored Bill McAnally Racing’s NAPA AutoCare Center in Antelope, Calif. as the 100th certified auto repair partner to join the CAR Program.
The Cool Air Rebate Program offers financial assistance to low-income Californians to cover up to 80% of repair costs to remove leaking R-134a refrigerant from personal vehicles manufactured between 1993 and 2019.
