Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Alexandra Hills
When your car air conditioning starts blowing warm air or takes too long to cool, Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional mobile car air conditioning service in Alexandra Hills.
We come to suitable homes and workplaces throughout Alexandra Hills, so there is no need to leave your vehicle at a workshop. Your AC system is inspected first to determine whether the problem is low refrigerant, a leak, compressor trouble, an electrical fault or another air conditioning issue.
With more than 40 years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience, Keepin Cool provides owner-operated service throughout Alexandra Hills, Redland City and Brisbane Bayside. We operate under ARCtick authorisation AU13448 and service both R134a and HFO-R1234yf systems.
Car Air Conditioning Repairs in Alexandra Hills
A car air conditioner can lose cooling performance for many different reasons.
Common problems include:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor faults
- Damaged air conditioning hoses
- Electrical problems
- Pressure sensor faults
- Condenser damage
- Worn seals and O-rings
- Poor system performance
Rather than assuming your vehicle simply needs more gas, we inspect the system first and recommend the appropriate solution.
This diagnostic-first approach helps prevent unnecessary regassing when another fault is causing the problem.
Car Aircon Regas Alexandra Hills
If the system is suitable for regassing, Keepin Cool can professionally recover the existing refrigerant and recharge it with the correct quantity for your vehicle.
Our R134a car aircon regas starts from $270.
Our HFO-R1234yf car aircon regas starts from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.
Vehicles requiring more than 600g of HFO-R1234yf may incur an additional refrigerant charge.
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes, provided another fault is not identified.
What Happens During a Professional Regas?
A proper car air conditioning regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
System Inspection
We begin by checking the AC operation and discussing any symptoms you have noticed.
Refrigerant Recovery
Existing refrigerant is professionally recovered using dedicated automotive air conditioning equipment.
Vacuum Test
The system is placed under vacuum for at least 30 minutes to remove air and moisture and help assess system integrity.
Correct Refrigerant Recharge
The correct amount of R134a or HFO-R1234yf is added according to the vehicle specification.
Compressor oil and UV dye are added where appropriate.
Final Performance Test
Operating pressures and vent temperatures are checked to confirm the system is cooling correctly.
If we identify another fault during the inspection, we explain the problem before additional work proceeds.
Car Air Conditioning Diagnostics
Not every vehicle with warm air needs a regas.
Compressor faults, electrical problems, leaking refrigerant, damaged components and sensor issues can all produce similar symptoms.
Our car air conditioning inspection and fault diagnostics start from $170 when more detailed diagnosis is required.
Finding the actual cause of the problem first allows the correct repair to be recommended.
Car Aircon Leak Detection Alexandra Hills
If an air conditioning system is losing refrigerant, locating the source is important before repeatedly regassing it.
Leaks can occur around:
- Air conditioning hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condensers
- Compressors
- Refrigerant pipes
- Service fittings
- Other system components
Keepin Cool provides professional car aircon leak detection starting from $170 where detailed testing is required.
Once the leak is located, we explain the available repair options and pricing before proceeding.
Car Air Conditioning Hose Repairs
Heat, vibration and normal vehicle movement can cause air conditioning hoses and fittings to deteriorate over time.
Even a small hose leak can eventually result in poor cooling or complete refrigerant loss.
Our car air conditioner hose repair service starts from $240, depending on the type and location of the damaged hose.
Once the repair is completed, the system can be evacuated, recharged and tested for correct operation.
Compressor Problems and Replacement
The compressor circulates refrigerant through the AC system and is one of its most important components.
A compressor fault may cause:
- Poor cooling
- Intermittent cooling
- Unusual noises
- Incorrect system pressures
- Complete loss of air conditioning
We diagnose the system before recommending replacement because similar symptoms can be caused by other faults.
Where replacement is required, car air conditioner compressor replacement starts from approximately $1,150, depending on the vehicle and repair required.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf Refrigerants
Vehicles on Australian roads use different refrigerant types depending on the year and air conditioning system fitted.
R134a remains common in many vehicles, while HFO-R1234yf is found in many newer models.
Keepin Cool has dedicated equipment for both refrigerant types and operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448.
If you are unsure which refrigerant your vehicle requires, we can identify it before servicing the system.

Have the system inspected sooner if you notice reduced cooling, refrigerant loss, unusual noises or another AC problem.
