Full system service
Recovery, leak-test, evacuation, system flush if dye contaminated, deep vacuum, weighed recharge with manufacturer-spec PAG oil and refrigerant.
Car air-conditioning, fixed properly.
A re-gas alone is rarely the answer. Most weak air-con is a slow leak, a tired compressor or a clogged condenser. We diagnose it before we touch the gas bottle.
The right diagnosis
Why a "regas" usually isn't the answer.
If a system has lost its gas, gas has gone somewhere. Topping it up will buy you a season at most before you are paying for the same job again. Our routine begins with a UV-dye leak detection, a pressure test and an inspection of the condenser core. Only when we know the system is sealed and healthy do we evacuate, deep-vacuum and recharge with a precise gas weight.
If the system is leaking, we quote the repair before the recharge. If the compressor is on the way out — telltale knocks, oil residue at the centre clutch — we'll show you the symptoms rather than just selling you a replacement.
What's included
Climate jobs we routinely handle.
R134a & R1234yf
Both gases on a single machine. Cars built before September 2017 generally use R134a; everything since uses R1234yf. We carry both in stock.
Antibacterial flush
The musty smell on the first cool run after summer is bacterial growth on the evaporator core. An antibacterial fogger and a fresh pollen filter return the cabin to clean.
Compressor replacement
Where a compressor has seized or is contaminating the system with debris, we replace the compressor, expansion valve, receiver-drier, and flush the lines — the only way to do that job properly.
Condenser & radiator pack
Stone damage to the condenser is the most common single-cause leak we find. Replacement and a degas-check before we hand the car back.
Climate-control electronics
Blend-flap actuators, blower-fan resistors, and the in-cabin temperature sensors that quietly cause the system to think it's already cooled the cabin when it hasn't.
Worth knowing
What you get with our climate service.
- Itemised invoice — gas weight in grams, oil grade, parts numbers if anything was replaced.
- 180-day workshop warranty on every air-con part we fit.
- Discharge certificate for refrigerant recovered, in line with F-Gas regulations.
- An honest answer — if the system isn't worth fixing on a fifteen-year-old car, we will say so.
Climate slots fill quickly through May and June. If you want the system serviced before the warm weather, the smart booking window is March or early April.
