R134a was the standard air conditioning gas for years, and most older cars on the road still use it. If your car was built before about 2017, there is a good chance it is this one; a label under the bonnet names the gas.
Before we refill it, we look at the system: the hoses and connections, the compressor, condenser and evaporator. A system that has lost most of its gas within a year has a leak, and filling it again only puts off finding it.
The regas recovers the gas that is left, holds the system under vacuum to show it is sealed and to boil off any moisture, then refills it with the amount of gas and oil the maker specifies.
Old refrigerant is recovered rather than released, and handled under the rules that apply to it.

Common questions
Is my car R134a or R1234yf?
The label under the bonnet says. As a rough guide, most cars built from 2017 use R1234yf and older ones R134a, but some models changed earlier. Your registration lets us check.
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.
What if it still does not cool after a regas?
Then the fault is something other than a shortage of gas: the compressor, its clutch, a sensor or a blockage. We tell you what we find and price the repair.
