Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Redland Bay
When your car air conditioning stops cooling properly, the cause is not always as simple as low refrigerant.
Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional mobile car air conditioning service in Redland Bay, including fault diagnosis, regas, refrigerant leak detection and automotive AC repairs.
We come to suitable homes and workplaces throughout Redland Bay and surrounding Redland City areas, allowing many air conditioning problems to be inspected and repaired 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 how the system is operating before recommending a regas or replacing components.
Keepin Cool operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448 and is equipped to service both R134a and HFO-R1234yf automotive air conditioning systems.
Car Air Conditioning Repairs in Redland Bay
A vehicle that is no longer cooling properly can have several possible faults.
Common problems we diagnose include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Electrical problems
- Damaged air conditioning hoses
- Condenser problems
- Pressure sensor or switch faults
- Intermittent cooling
- Poor vent temperatures
- AC systems that have stopped operating completely
Rather than assuming every vehicle needs a regas, we assess the system and determine the likely cause first.
If repairs are required, we explain what has been found and discuss your options before additional work proceeds.
Mobile Car Aircon Regas Redland Bay
If inspection shows that your vehicle is suitable for regassing, Keepin Cool provides professional mobile recharge services for both common automotive refrigerants.
Our current starting prices are:
R134a Regas – from $270
HFO-R1234yf Regas – from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.

You can 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 check the air conditioning performance and discuss the symptoms you have noticed.
System pressures and vent temperatures can provide useful information about how the AC is operating.
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 before recharging.
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
Once the system has been recharged, we check pressures and vent temperatures to confirm cooling performance.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes. Additional diagnosis or repairs can take longer if another problem is identified.
Car AC Diagnostics Redland Bay
Poor cooling does not automatically mean the refrigerant level is low.
An air conditioning system can also be affected by electrical faults, sensors, compressors and other components.
Where more detailed testing is required, our car air conditioning inspection and fault diagnostics start from $170.
Diagnosis may involve checking:
- Refrigerant pressures
- Vent temperatures
- Compressor operation
- Electrical supply and controls
- Sensors and switches
- Visible AC components
- Overall cooling performance
Correct diagnosis helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Redland Bay
If an air conditioning system repeatedly loses refrigerant, the cause should be investigated.
Common leak areas can include:
- Hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condensers
- Compressors
- Pipe connections
- Service fittings
- Other refrigerant-carrying components
Keepin Cool provides professional car aircon leak detection starting from $170 when more detailed testing is required.
Once the source has been identified, we explain the repair options before proceeding.
Car Air Conditioner Hose Repairs
Heat, vibration and age can eventually cause air conditioning hoses and connections to leak.
Where suitable, Keepin Cool provides car air conditioner hose repairs starting from $240.
The damaged hose is assessed first so we can advise whether repair or replacement is the more appropriate option.
Car AC Compressor Replacement
A faulty compressor can prevent the air conditioning system from cooling correctly or stop it operating altogether.
Possible signs of compressor trouble include:
- AC not producing cold air
- Incorrect system pressures
- Compressor failing to engage
- 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 problem before recommending compressor replacement because several other faults can produce similar symptoms.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf Car Air Conditioning
Keepin Cool services both major automotive refrigerants commonly found in Australian vehicles.
R134a
R134a remains widely used in many vehicles on Australian roads.
Our R134a regas service 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 for the vehicle before carrying out the service.

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 has stopped working
- Unusual noises have developed
- The system works intermittently
- Another air conditioning fault is suspected
The actual condition of the system matters more than simply regassing it because a set period has passed.
