Air Conditioning Regas & Repair in Brierley Hill

Air conditioning gradually loses refrigerant over time, even when it's working normally — most systems need a regas every couple of years. A healthy A/C also demists your windows faster in winter, so it's worth keeping in good order all year. If you've searched for air con repair near me around Brierley Hill, Dudley, Kingswinford or Stourbridge, our workshop covers the lot. An air con car service is more than a quick squirt of gas. We recover whatever refrigerant is left in the system and weigh it against the manufacturer's figure, vacuum test the pipework to see that it holds pressure, then recharge with the correct amount of gas and fresh compressor oil. Once it's running again we check the vent temperature and listen to the compressor and fans, so we know the system is genuinely doing its job rather than just feeling cooler for a fortnight. It suits any driver whose A/C has gone lukewarm, takes far too long to cool the cabin, rattles when the compressor cuts in, or smells damp when the fan first comes on. It's also worth booking before a summer holiday or a long run with the family in the car. Most vehicles are with us for part of a morning or an afternoon, and we'll tell you beforehand whether your car uses the older R134a refrigerant or the newer R1234yf, because that affects the cost. If the system won't hold its charge we stop, tell you what we have found and quote the repair, since there is no sense filling a system that leaks straight back out.
