Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Mount Cotton
If your car air conditioning is no longer cooling properly, Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional mobile car air conditioning service in Mount Cotton.
We come to suitable homes and workplaces throughout Mount Cotton and surrounding Redland City and Brisbane Bayside suburbs, 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 specialises in diagnosing, servicing and repairing vehicle AC systems.
We take a diagnostic-first approach. Before recommending a regas or replacing parts, we check the system and determine what is actually causing the problem.
Keepin Cool operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448 and services both R134a and HFO-R1234yf automotive air conditioning systems.
Mobile Car Air Conditioning Repairs in Mount Cotton
Poor air conditioning performance can be caused by much more than low refrigerant.
Common faults include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor problems
- Damaged condensers
- Leaking hoses or seals
- Electrical faults
- Pressure sensor or switch problems
- Poor cooling performance
- Intermittent air conditioning operation
We inspect the system before recommending repairs so you receive the appropriate solution rather than simply adding refrigerant and hoping the problem disappears.

What Happens During a Car Aircon Regas?
A professional regas involves more than simply topping up the gas.
Initial Inspection
We check how the air conditioning system is operating and discuss the symptoms you have noticed.
Refrigerant Recovery
Remaining 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 quantity of R134a or HFO-R1234yf is added according to the vehicle specification.
Performance Testing
Once recharged, we check system pressures and vent temperatures to confirm cooling performance.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes, although additional diagnosis can take longer if another fault is found.
Car AC Diagnostics in Mount Cotton
When the cause of poor cooling is unclear, more detailed testing may be required.
Our car air conditioning inspection and fault diagnostics start from $170.
Diagnostics may include checking:
- System operating pressures
- Vent temperatures
- Compressor operation
- Electrical components
- Sensors and switches
- Refrigerant performance
- Visible system condition
The aim is to identify the actual fault before recommending parts or repairs.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Mount Cotton
A system that repeatedly loses refrigerant may have a leak.
Leaks can develop around hoses, seals, condensers, compressors, service fittings and other refrigerant-carrying components.
Keepin Cool provides professional car aircon leak detection starting from $170.
If a leak is identified, we explain the repair options before additional work is carried out.

The compressor is one of the major components of your vehicle’s air conditioning system.
Signs of compressor trouble can include:
- AC not cooling
- Abnormal system pressures
- Compressor not engaging correctly
- Unusual noises

- Internal compressor failure
Where replacement is required, car aircon compressor replacement starts from $1,150, depending on the vehicle and parts required.
