How Our Legendary Service Turned Into A Legacy
Providing Trusted Service Since 1955
Formerly “Billy Carlisle Auto Repair,” our humble shop started on the south side of San Antonio. What began as a family business that passed from father to junior quickly became a statewide testament to the value of efficiency and excellence. We have been at the forefront ever since. After finding our niche market in air conditioning repair in the 1960s, when only 10 percent of vehicles came out of the factory with A/C installed, we have dedicated ourselves to providing the best A/C service in the South. With our founder specializing in installing aftermarket air conditioning systems into all kinds of vehicles, we led the charge in ensuring that these units were accessible to everyone. Now, we dedicate ourselves to ensuring every unit that comes through our doors is primed and ready for the sweltering summer sun.
Industry-Leading, No Matter The Improvement
Many automotive repair shops can’t boast of their ability to advance. However, our founder, Billy Carlisle Sr., did just that. Even while technology changed at a blinding pace, he dove deep into techniques that led him to rebuild evaporators. This gave way to the parent company that now oversees everything we do, and we adhere to the standards Mr. Carlisle Sr. once held for himself. He moved ahead, just as we do, with constant innovation at the forefront of our company model. Mr. Carlisle Sr.’s entrepreneurial efforts led to some of the most incredible developments in automotive repair history, including vehicle-specific seal kits that are now widely utilized in many auto shops nationwide. Carlisle Sr. ensured that Carlisle Air Automotive wasn’t just a family-centered business but a productive one. One that served the market with the best available products at affordable prices.
