I know it is virtually impossible to get in the US at a reasonable price, but I was wondering if R12 is still available for sale in Canada. Any Canadian folks on this site that can chime in??

buy it on eBay but need to pass the AC tech course

Ebay's a good place. Shipping will prob be more to Canada but ebay prices are about $5-10 cheaper than I can buy it locally.

It is illegal to use R-12 for any automotive application in Canada.

Sorry guys but that's it. Too many shops had shoddy recycling practices and so the feds ended up with a total ban.

Sounds like you need a little road trip to the U.S.

Well the original question was "can you buy R-12 in Canada?"

And the short answer is, legally, no.....

And I thought the U.S. government was a PITA...

I think all governments try to out-do each other in stupidity

I ran into this law years ago when my old Toyota Previa's AC died for the second time. If I wanted to fix it I would have been forced to convert to R134a as AC shops are not allowed to repair R-12 systems. When they fail they have to be converted.

Like you really need A/C in Canada
