Manufacturers recommend a full regas every 2 years, even if it still feels cold. Refrigerant slowly permeates through hoses and seals. Regular use (even in winter for demisting) helps keep seals lubricated and prevents bigger problems.

The most common cause is low refrigerant due to small leaks or natural seepage. Other causes include faulty compressor, blocked condenser, or electrical issues. Our diagnostic service pinpoints the exact problem.

We always perform a proper vacuum/pressure leak test. If a leak is found we repair it first — never just top up a leaking system.

Check the label under the bonnet or in your handbook. Most pre-2017 cars use R134a; newer models use R1234yf. We handle both professionally.

A standard regas usually takes 45–60 minutes. Full diagnostics or repairs take longer — we’ll give you a clear time estimate upfront.

Yes. We diagnose and repair or replace compressors, condensers, evaporators and all other components to the highest standards.

Almost always — especially if you value comfort and safety (clear windows in rain). Many customers keep 10+ year old cars perfectly cool with regular maintenance.

We get asked, “Why do some tuners charge as little as £150?” There are a few factors as to why we do not offer remapping for £100-£200!
