Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Thornlands
When your car air conditioning starts blowing warm air or is no longer cooling as well as it should, Keepin Cool Auto Air can inspect the system and determine what is causing the problem.
We provide professional mobile car air conditioning service in Thornlands, including regas, diagnostics, refrigerant leak detection and automotive AC repairs.
Our mobile service comes to suitable homes and workplaces throughout Thornlands and surrounding Redland City areas, saving you the inconvenience of taking your vehicle to a workshop.
With more than 40 years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience, Keepin Cool takes a diagnostic-first approach. We check how the system is operating before recommending a regas or replacing components.
Keepin Cool operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448 and services both R134a and HFO-R1234yf automotive air conditioning systems.
Car Air Conditioning Repairs Thornlands
A car air conditioner that is not cooling properly can have several possible causes.
Common problems we diagnose include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Electrical problems
- Damaged AC hoses
- Condenser damage
- Pressure switch or sensor faults
- Intermittent cooling
- Poor vent temperatures
- Air conditioning that has stopped working completely
Rather than assuming every vehicle simply needs more refrigerant, we assess the system first.
If a repair is required, we explain what has been found and discuss the available options before additional work proceeds.
Car Aircon Regas Thornlands
If inspection shows that the air conditioning system is suitable for regassing, Keepin Cool provides professional mobile servicing for both major automotive refrigerants.
Our current starting prices are:
R134a Regas – from $270
HFO-R1234yf Regas – from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
Vehicles requiring more than 600g of HFO-R1234yf may incur an additional refrigerant charge.
You can also learn more about our R134a car aircon regas and HFO-R1234yf regas service.
What Happens During a Car Aircon Regas?
A proper automotive AC regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
Initial System Check
We discuss the symptoms you have noticed and check the current performance of the air conditioning system.
System pressures and vent temperatures can help determine whether a straightforward regas is appropriate.
Refrigerant Recovery
Existing refrigerant is professionally recovered using dedicated automotive air conditioning equipment.
Vacuum Evacuation
The system is placed under vacuum for at least 30 minutes to remove air and moisture.
Correct Refrigerant Charge
The correct amount of R134a or HFO-R1234yf is added according to the vehicle specification.
Compressor oil and UV dye are added where appropriate.
Performance Testing
Once the system has been recharged, pressures and vent temperatures are checked again to confirm cooling performance.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes.
Additional diagnosis or repair work may take longer.
Car Air Conditioning Diagnostics Thornlands
Not every air conditioner blowing warm air needs a regas.
Other possible causes include:
- Electrical faults
- Compressor problems
- Pressure sensors or switches
- Refrigerant leaks
- Damaged components
- Cooling fan problems
Where more detailed fault-finding is required, our car air conditioning inspection and fault diagnostics start from $170.
Diagnosis may involve checking pressures, vent temperatures, compressor operation, electrical supply, sensors and visible AC components.
Finding the actual cause helps avoid unnecessary repairs and repeated regassing.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Thornlands
If refrigerant is being lost, the source should be investigated.
Common leak areas include:
- Air conditioning hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condensers
- Compressors
- Pipe connections
- Service fittings
- Other refrigerant-carrying components
Where more detailed testing is required, our car aircon leak detection starts from $170.
Once the source has been identified, we explain the repair options before additional work is carried out.
Car Air Conditioner Hose Repairs
Air conditioning hoses are exposed to heat, vibration and age and can eventually develop leaks.
Where suitable, Keepin Cool provides car air conditioner hose repairs starting from $240.
We assess the damaged hose first and advise whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate option.
Car AC Compressor Replacement Thornlands
The compressor is a major part of the air conditioning system, but poor cooling does not automatically mean the compressor has failed.
Possible compressor-related symptoms include:
- No cold air
- Compressor not engaging
- Incorrect system pressures
- Unusual noises
- Intermittent operation
- Internal compressor failure
Where replacement is required, car aircon compressor replacement starts from $1,150, depending on the vehicle and parts required.
We diagnose the system before recommending replacement because other faults can produce similar symptoms.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf Air Conditioning
Keepin Cool services both refrigerant types commonly found in Australian vehicles.
R134a
R134a remains widely used in many vehicles.
Our R134a regas starts from $270.
HFO-R1234yf
Many newer vehicles use HFO-R1234yf refrigerant.
This refrigerant requires dedicated recovery and recharge equipment.
Our HFO-R1234yf regas starts from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
We identify the correct refrigerant before servicing the vehicle.

When Should Car Air Conditioning Be Checked?
There is no single servicing interval that applies to every vehicle.
Keepin Cool recommends having your automotive air conditioning checked and regassed around every two years and no later than four years.
The system should be inspected sooner if:
- Cooling performance has dropped
- Refrigerant is being lost
- The AC stops working
- Unusual noises develop
- Cooling becomes intermittent
- Another air conditioning fault is suspected
The actual condition of the system matters more than simply regassing because a fixed period has passed.
