Car Air Conditioning Re-Gassed

Where’s the best place?
Thanks in advance.

A garage, far better than a chip shop.

Go to ATS or somewhere like that. There are different types of refrigerant but they will work out which one you need. Hopefully no more than £100.

Have you not got cold air or is the system making a noise?

I’ve got cold air but it doesn’t seem cold enough.

You’ll have to explain that one sorry Steve.

It's almost certainly an aircon system made by our company, albeit produced in Japan rather than UK.

When you take it in they might ask if you want a recharge and an anti-bac treatment. The latter isn't critical, but it can solve bad smells which come from the system.

I like you.

I had a similar problem with my Kia which has a 7 year warranty but was told thar the a/c was only covered for 2 years. My car was 2 weeks over the 2 years but they did it for free. Check if yours is covered by a warranty and take it to the dealers.

Have a butchers at this, see what the price comes back as. Might be worth trying an independent too, there’s a place in the Ferry near the old Double P motors, not sure if they’re any good or not. Going to get my boys car sorted in the next few weeks.

Kwikfit don’t charge if they can’t improve the cooling by 10%. Useful if you’re not sure if your AC is buggered.
Just chucked my reg in this link and they want £160 for a recharge! My previuos car comes up as £65. Jeepers.

Edit. looks like MajorR’s ATS is much cheaper

It’s usually the refrigerant type that drives the price, not the car itself.
