You should service your vehicle’s air conditioning system every 12 to 24 months to maintain performance and prevent costly breakdowns.
A full service includes refrigerant regas, leak detection, pressure testing, filter replacement, system cleaning, and performance testing.
This could be due to low refrigerant gas, a faulty compressor, leaks in the system, or clogged filters.
If your AC isn’t as cold as before, takes time to cool, or blows warm air, it likely needs a gas refill (regas).
It’s the process of removing old refrigerant and refilling the system with new gas to restore cooling performance.
Most car aircon regassing jobs take between 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Most cars use R134a or R1234yf. Our technicians will check and use the correct gas for your vehicle.

This is often caused by bacteria, mould, or mildew in the evaporator or vents, and can be resolved with a professional clean.
No. It’s a separate service and should be done as needed, especially if cooling performance drops.
Yes. Leaks are common at joints, hoses, or the condenser. We use electronic and UV detection to find and fix them.
