R1234yf replaced R134a in new cars because it does far less harm if it escapes: its effect on the climate is a tiny fraction of the old gas's. Most cars built from 2017 use it, and some newer models switched a few years earlier.
It needs its own equipment, and the gas itself costs more than R134a, which is why the two are priced separately. The gases must never be mixed, so we check which your car uses before we start.
The regas recovers what is left, holds the system under vacuum to show it is sealed and to boil off moisture, then refills it with the maker's specified amount of gas and oil.
If it has lost most of its gas quickly, there is a leak. We look at the hoses, connections, compressor and condenser, and price the repair rather than refill a system that will empty again.

Common questions
Why is an R1234yf regas dearer than R134a?
The gas itself costs more, and it needs its own equipment. The two cannot be mixed, so they are separate jobs at separate prices.
Can my car be converted to the older gas?
No. The system is built for R1234yf, and the two gases must never be mixed.
How often should it be done?
We recommend every two years. A system loses some gas each year, so by then it is usually cooling noticeably less.
