❄️ Air Conditioning Regas (Recharge)

Air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant over time. If your vehicle’s cooling performance has dropped, a regas (recharge) is likely needed.

We service vehicles with:

R134a gas – widely used in vehicles registered before 2017

R1234yf gas – required in most new vehicles (from 2017 onwards), including newer vans and motorhomes

Our equipment is compatible with both gas types, so whether you're driving a transit van, campervan, or a modern SUV, we’ve got you covered.
