An air conditioning recharge station beside a car with its bonnet open, gauges and hoses visible.

Air conditioning

Air conditioning regas, leaks and repair, for a system that cools and holds its gas.

Monday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm. Sunday closed.

When to book it in

  • It blows warm, or only slightly cool.

  • It takes much longer to cool than it used to.

  • A musty smell when it starts.

  • A new noise from the engine bay when you switch it on.

Worth knowing before you book

  • A system loses a very small amount of gas over the years. One that needs regassing again within months has a leak, and topping it up repeatedly does not fix it.

What the MOT does and does not cover

  • Air conditioning is not a testable item on the MOT. A car can pass with air conditioning that does nothing at all.

  • If your air conditioning has stopped cooling, the MOT will not flag it, and a pass tells you nothing about it either way.
