A car's air conditioning is a sealed system, but never perfectly sealed. It loses a little gas every year through the seals and hoses, and as the level drops it cools less and the compressor works harder. A regas recovers what is left, checks the system holds pressure, and refills it to the amount the maker specifies.
There are two gases. Older cars use R134a; newer ones use R1234yf, which does far less harm to the climate if it escapes and costs more. They are not interchangeable, so the price of a regas depends on which your car has. Your registration tells us, and so does a label under the bonnet.
Air con is worth running all year, winter included. It dries the air, which clears a misted windscreen far faster, and running it regularly keeps the seals in good order.
If the system will not hold gas, a regas alone will not last. We look for the leak, at the compressor, condenser, pipes and seals, and price the repair.

Common questions
How often does car air con need a regas?
We recommend every two years. A system loses some gas each year, so by then it is usually cooling noticeably less.
How do I know which gas my car uses?
A label under the bonnet names the gas. Your registration tells us as well, so the booking shows the right regas for your car.
Will a regas fix a smell?
Not on its own. A musty smell usually comes from bacteria in the system or a clogged pollen filter. Mention it when you book and we will look at both.
