Can I get my air conditioning re-gassed?

Yes. Air conditioning refrigerant recharging (often referred to as a “regas”) is one of the most common services we carry out. This restores your system’s cooling performance and helps maintain overall efficiency. We offer recharging for both:

R134a refrigerant – commonly used in vehicles manufactured before 2017
R1234yf refrigerant – used in most newer vehicles to meet updated environmental standards

Our technicians will confirm the correct refrigerant type for your vehicle before carrying out any work. All refrigerant handling and recovery is completed in accordance with current UK F-Gas regulations.

Why air conditioning matters

Your car’s air conditioning isn’t just for hot days. It also helps clear and demist your windows in colder months, improving visibility and safety. Like any system, it needs regular checks and servicing to prevent leaks, loss of efficiency, and expensive failures. Keeping your air conditioning in top condition means greater comfort and reliability, whatever the weather.
