Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Gumdale
If your vehicle’s air conditioning is no longer cooling properly, Keepin Cool Auto Air can inspect the system and determine whether the problem is low refrigerant, a leak, an electrical fault or a failed component.
We provide professional mobile car air conditioning service in Gumdale, including regas, diagnostics, refrigerant leak detection and automotive AC repairs.
Our mobile service is available at suitable homes and workplaces throughout Gumdale and surrounding Brisbane eastern and Bayside suburbs, allowing many AC problems to be assessed without 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 the system 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 Gumdale
A vehicle that is blowing warm air does not automatically need more refrigerant.
Common problems we diagnose include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Electrical problems
- Damaged AC hoses
- Condenser damage
- Pressure sensor or switch faults
- Intermittent cooling
- Poor vent temperatures
- Air conditioning that has stopped working altogether
We assess what is happening first so the repair is based on the actual fault rather than guesswork.
If additional work is needed, we explain what has been found and discuss the available options before proceeding.
Mobile Car Aircon Regas Gumdale
If testing shows the air conditioning system is suitable for regassing, Keepin Cool services both major automotive refrigerants.
Current starting prices are:
R134a Regas – from $270
HFO-R1234yf Regas – from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
If an HFO-R1234yf system requires more than 600g, an additional refrigerant charge may apply.
You can learn more about our R134a car aircon regas and HFO-R1234yf regas service.
How We Carry Out a Car Aircon Regas
A proper automotive AC regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
Initial Cooling Check
We discuss the symptoms you have noticed and check how the air conditioning is performing.
System pressures and vent temperatures help determine whether a straightforward regas is appropriate.
Refrigerant Recovery
Any refrigerant remaining in the system is professionally recovered using dedicated automotive air conditioning equipment.
Minimum 30-Minute Vacuum
The system is placed under vacuum for at least 30 minutes to remove air and moisture.
Correct Refrigerant Charge
The correct quantity of R134a or HFO-R1234yf is added according to the vehicle specification.
Compressor oil and UV dye are added where appropriate.
Final Performance Test
After recharging, we check operating pressures and vent temperatures again to confirm cooling performance.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes.
If another fault needs diagnosis or repair, the job may take longer.
Car Air Conditioning Diagnostics Gumdale
Poor cooling can be caused by several different faults.
Possible causes include:
- Low refrigerant
- Compressor problems
- Electrical faults
- Pressure switches
- Sensors
- Cooling fan faults
- Refrigerant leaks
- Damaged AC components
Where more detailed fault-finding is required, our car air conditioning diagnostics start from $170.
Diagnosis may involve checking system pressures, vent temperatures, compressor operation, electrical supply, sensors and visible components.
Finding the cause first can help prevent unnecessary regassing or replacement of parts that are not faulty.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Gumdale
If refrigerant is being lost from the system, 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 detailed leak testing is required, our car aircon leak detection starts from $170.
Once the source is identified, we explain the repair options before further work proceeds.
Car Air Conditioner Hose Repairs
Heat, vibration and age can eventually cause air conditioning hoses to leak.
Where suitable, Keepin Cool provides car air conditioner hose repairs starting from $240.
We assess the hose first and advise whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate option.
Car AC Compressor Replacement Gumdale
A compressor fault can stop an air conditioning system from cooling, but other problems can create similar symptoms.
Possible compressor-related signs include:
- No cold air
- Compressor not engaging
- Abnormal 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.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf Air Conditioning
Keepin Cool services both refrigerant types commonly found in Australian vehicles.
R134a
R134a remains widely used in many cars, SUVs, utes and 4WDs.
Our R134a regas starts from $270.
HFO-R1234yf
Many newer vehicles use HFO-R1234yf.
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 suits every vehicle.
Keepin Cool recommends having automotive air conditioning checked and regassed around every two years and no later than four years.
Have the system inspected sooner if:
- Cooling performance has dropped
- Refrigerant is being lost
- The air conditioning stops working
- Cooling becomes intermittent
- Unusual noises develop
- Another AC fault is suspected
The actual condition of the system is more important than automatically regassing because a fixed period has passed.
