You’re not alone, many car owners give up after another garage blindly charged them to regas the AC system, for it just be gone again days, or even hours after the regas.
What You Need to Know About Air Conditioning
Most people think air con just “runs out of gas”
- Sometimes it does.
But if your air con has suddenly stopped working, isn’t blowing cold, or only works now and then…
There’s usually a fault somewhere in the system. - compressor, condensor, evaporator, pipes, seals, sensors, electrics.
If any of those fails, the whole thing stops working properly.
Thats why a quick regas doesn’t always fix it.
In a lot of cases, the gas has leaked out because something has gone wrong, and unless that’s found and fixed the problem just comes straight back.
👉 That’s how people end up paying twice.
How We Actually Fix Your Air Con
Most places will just regas the system and hope for the best.
We don’t.
Here’s how we do it properly:
1. We test the system; pressure, performance, and how it’s behaving. This tells us if it’s just low, or if something’s wrong
2. If there’s a leak or fault, topping it up is pointless. We’ll tell you straight before wasting your money.
3. We’ll track down what’s actually causing the problem, not just the symptom.
4. We fix it properly once we know the issue, so the problem doesn’t come back
5. Regas and retest. Only once everything’s sorted, we’ll recharge and make sure it’s blowing cold like it should
👉 No guesswork. No wasted money. Just a proper fix.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioning
Do I just need a regas?
Not always. If your system has slowly lost performance over a few years, a regas can help. But if it’s suddenly stopped working or isn’t blowing cold at all, there’s usually a fault causing the issue.
How do I know if there's a leak?
If your air con stopped working quickly or doesn’t stay cold after being regassed, there’s likely a leak somewhere. We can test and locate it properly.
How much does it cost?
AC performance check starts from £40. Once we know what’s causing the issue, we’ll explain the fix and cost before doing any work.
How long does it take?
Basic check can be done fairly quickly. If repairs are needed it depends on the fault, we’ll give you a clear timeframe upfront.
Can I just get a regas if I want one?
Yes, but if there’s an underlying fault it may not last. We’ll always let you know before going ahead so you can decide.
Is it safe to keep driving without working air conditioning?
Yes, but it can be uncumfortable, especially in hot weather. In some cases, running a faulty system can also put extra strain on components.
Do you work on all cars? What about hybrids and electric vehicles?
Yes, we work on most makes and models and can advise if your system uses R134a (old gas) or 1234yf (new) refrigerant. We are also able to service the air conditioning systems on all hybrid and fully electric vehicles.
