Clogged Orifice Tube

July 1, 2021

This photo shows a clogged Orifice Tube from using Sealant or Stop Leak. You can see that the Orifice Tube is completely clogged where no Freon can pass through. When you buy the wrong Freon at the Auto Parts store, they are not trained in what the product does.

Can You Clean an Orifice Tube?

I have said before in a different blog that there is no way to flush this out. You can see that there is no way for anything to pass through to clean the system. If the sealant is clogging this up, what else is it clogging?

● Does it clog the Compressor?

● Does it clog the holes in the Condenser?

● Is it clogging up the Evaporator?

● How thick is it in the hoses?

● Once The Sealant is in the system, can you find the leak that lets the Freon out?

● Why take a chance with sealant?

Let the trained professionals at Automotive Blessings handle the repair the proper way and be done with all the 'Why' questions.

The Job of Struts and Shocks

Fleet Management at Automotive Blessings

January 23, 2026

Managing a fleet of vehicles is more than scheduling oil changes and fixing breakdowns. It’s about reliability, safety, cost control, and minimizing downtime. Whether your fleet consists of service vans, sales vehicles, delivery cars, or light-duty trucks (1-ton and under), the right repair partner can make or break your operation. At Automotive Blessings, we work with fleet managers who need a shop that understands the business side of vehicle maintenance, not just the mechanical side. Here's what professional fleet service should really look like.

Why Checking Your Tires Regularly Matters

By Charlie Frederic • January 15, 2026

Your tires are one of the most important safety components on your vehicle, yet they’re often the most overlooked. Regularly checking your tires helps protect your safety, improves vehicle performance, and can save you money by catching problems early. Tires affect how your car steers, stops, and handles the road especially in wet or slippery conditions. Checking your tires doesn’t require special tools or mechanical knowledge. Tread depth, tire pressure, wear patterns, and visible damage all tell a story about your vehicle’s condition. Ignoring tire problems can lead to poor traction, longer stopping distances, uneven wear, and even blowouts. On the other hand, catching tire issues early can extend tire life and help prevent suspension and alignment problems. At Automotive Blessings , tire checks are part of how we help customers stay safe and informed. Whether it’s during routine maintenance or a specific concern, we believe understanding your tires helps you make better decisions for your vehicle. Make it a habit — Let Automotive Blessings help the life of your tires today! 📍 Automotive Blessings 📍 840 Shallowford Rd, Kennesaw, GA 30144 📍 770-585-0400 www.automotiveblessings.com
