Car air con repair & re-gas

An air conditioning service is not included in a regular car service schedule so people often forget to have it checked. If your car is older than 2 years or you’ve never booked a car air con repair or re-gas, perhaps now is a good time.

Car air con servicing in West Malling

If your car has air conditioning, you likely know it does more than just keep you cool. When properly maintained, the air conditioning system helps filter out pollen, pollutants, and airborne bacteria, enhancing the overall air quality. This multi-functional component not only regulates temperature—providing both heat and cool air—but also ensures a healthier, more comfortable environment inside your vehicle's cabin.

We recommend using your air conditioning year-round, even for just one or two short trips each week. You might be surprised to learn that regular use helps keep the system well-lubricated and prevents leaks.

It's especially important to book an air conditioning repair service if you notice any of the following:

The system no longer blows cool air
Unpleasant odors are coming from the vents
The air conditioning starts making unusual noises
There are visible leaks in the system

How often should I have my air conditioning re-gassed or recharged?

The refrigerant in your car’s air conditioning system is crucial for its efficient operation. Regular maintenance, including re-gassing or recharging, ensures that the system functions properly. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual will offer specific guidelines, but in general, most manufacturers recommend recharging the air conditioning every two years.

This applies whether you use your air con daily or rarely. Over time, the refrigerant gradually leaks out, even if the system isn't in constant use. Less refrigerant means less cool air, so it’s important to get a regas every couple of years to maintain optimal performance.
