Car Air conditioning Re-Gas
Most cars today benefit from an air conditioning system. An air conditioning system needs regular maintenance to ensure it is functioning properly, and it is recommended that this be done every two years.
Our air-conditioning engineers are certified with a Safe Handling of Refrigerants certification and fully trained to undertake air conditioning re-gassing.
At Houston’s Garage, we are able to diagnose any leaks or faults with your system and can repair and replace components and re-gas both new and older systems including hybrid and electrical vehicles. Recharging your aircon usually takes around 60 minutes, if no other aircon faults are discovered.
Price:

- From £99 (R1234yf refrigerant – typically used after Jan 2017)
