Air Conditioning
Why should I have my aircon serviced?
Impurities and moisture accumulate in your car’s A/C system over time, reducing its efficiency and increasing running costs.
It is estimated that 5-10% of the refrigerant in your aircon system escapes every year so we recommend recharging your system every 2 years to keep it working at full capacity.
Aircon Re-Gas available at all our branches.
We offer a FREE A/C pressure check.
Please note we are currently unable to assist with hybrid or electric vehicles, or those that use R744 gas.
Please note online booking is not available for Salhouse Road, but all our services are available at this branch.
We will empty and recover all the A/C gas currently in the car, before removing any moisture or other impurities in the system. Once this is done, the gas and oil are put back in and topped up if required.
All of our branches can re-gas vehicles that require R134A or 1234yf gas.
Most new car models from 2017 require 1234yf gas, which produces 98% fewer climate-damaging pollutants than its predecessor.
For the fastest response to any questions regarding air con re-gas, please contact your local branch.
A full A/C re-gas will take around an hour.
Servicing the A/C system is not normally included in a standard service. It is important not to neglect this as you may start to notice stale smells, and bacteria trapped in the system can aggravate allergies.
Prices for re-gas vary so please contact your local branch for current prices.
Your air conditioning system cleans, dries and cools the air in the cabin, giving you a comfortable driving environment.
In the summer, having a cool car makes for a better driving experience and using your air-con may be less expensive in terms of fuel usage than having your window open.
In winter your air-con will help you de-mist and de-humidify the car more quickly.
