Mobile Car Air Conditioning Service in Capalaba
If your car air conditioning is blowing warm air, struggling in hot weather or has stopped cooling altogether, Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional mobile car air conditioning service throughout Capalaba.
Instead of taking your vehicle to a workshop, we come to your home or workplace where the location is suitable and safe. Your air conditioning system is inspected first so we can determine whether it needs a regas, leak detection, diagnosis or repair.
With more than 40 years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience, Keepin Cool provides owner-operated service across Capalaba, Redland City and Brisbane Bayside. We operate under ARCtick authorisation AU13448 and are equipped to service both R134a and HFO-R1234yf systems.
Mobile Car Air Conditioning Services in Capalaba
Car air conditioning problems are not always caused by low refrigerant. A system that is not cooling properly may have a leak, compressor problem, electrical fault, damaged hose or another component issue.
Keepin Cool provides mobile air conditioning inspections, diagnostics, regassing, refrigerant leak detection, hose repairs, compressor replacement and other automotive AC repairs throughout Capalaba.
Every job starts by checking the system and identifying the likely cause of the problem before recommending further work.

Car Aircon Regas Capalaba
If testing shows that your system is suitable for regassing, we can recover the existing refrigerant and recharge the system with the correct amount specified for your vehicle.
Keepin Cool services both major refrigerants currently found in Australian passenger vehicles.
Our R134a car aircon regas starts from $270.
Our HFO-R1234yf car aircon regas starts from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant. Additional refrigerant above 600g may cost extra.
A straightforward regas normally takes around 30–40 minutes, provided we do not identify another fault requiring diagnosis or repair.
Our Professional Regas Process
We do more than simply add refrigerant.
The system is inspected first, existing refrigerant is professionally recovered and the air conditioning system is evacuated under vacuum for at least 30 minutes.
The correct refrigerant quantity is then added according to the vehicle specification, together with compressor oil and UV dye where appropriate.
Once the recharge is complete, operating pressures and vent temperature are checked to make sure the system is performing correctly.
If we identify a problem that means the vehicle should not simply be regassed, we explain what we have found before further work proceeds.
Car Air Conditioning Diagnostics in Capalaba
Warm air from the vents does not automatically mean your vehicle needs more gas.
Electrical faults, compressor problems, pressure sensor issues, refrigerant leaks and other component failures 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 first helps avoid spending money on a regas when another fault needs attention.
Car Aircon Leak Detection
If an air conditioning system has lost refrigerant, finding the source of the loss is important.
Leaks can develop around hoses, seals, O-rings, condensers, compressors, service fittings and other refrigerant-carrying components.
Keepin Cool provides professional car aircon leak detection from $170.
Once the source of the leak has been located, we can explain the repair options and provide pricing before additional work is carried out.
Car Air Conditioning Repairs Capalaba
Some air conditioning faults require more than a regas.
Depending on the diagnosis, repairs may involve damaged hoses, leaking seals, compressor faults, condenser problems or other failed AC components.
Our main services include R134a regas from $270, HFO-R1234yf regas from $590, diagnostics from $170, leak detection from $170, air conditioning hose repairs from $240 and compressor replacement from $1,150.
The exact repair cost depends on the vehicle and the fault identified during inspection.
Air Conditioning Hose Repairs
Air conditioning hoses and fittings are exposed to heat, engine movement, vibration and normal wear.
If a hose develops a leak, simply adding refrigerant will not provide a lasting solution.
Keepin Cool provides professional car air conditioner hose repair from $240, depending on the type of hose, location and repair required.
The system can then be evacuated, recharged and performance tested once the leak has been repaired.
Car AC Compressor Problems
The compressor is one of the major components of your vehicle’s air conditioning system.
Compressor faults can result in poor cooling, unusual noises, intermittent operation or complete loss of air conditioning.
We diagnose the system before recommending replacement because poor cooling does not automatically mean the compressor has failed.
Where replacement is necessary, car air conditioner compressor replacement starts from approximately $1,150, depending on the vehicle and work required.
R134a and HFO-R1234yf Air Conditioning
Different vehicles require different refrigerants, and the correct refrigerant must be used.
R134a remains common in many vehicles on Australian roads, while HFO-R1234yf is used in many newer vehicles.
Keepin Cool has dedicated equipment for both systems and operates under ARCtick authorisation AU13448.
If you are unsure which refrigerant your vehicle uses, we can identify the system before servicing it.
Mobile Service at Your Capalaba Home or Workplace
Our service is fully mobile, which means you do not need to leave your vehicle at a workshop.
Where access is suitable, we can inspect and service your vehicle at your home or workplace in Capalaba.
We service suitable cars, SUVs, utes, 4WDs and selected light commercial vehicles. Vehicle suitability depends on the make, model, year and air conditioning system, so include your vehicle details when requesting a quote.
How Often Should Car Air Conditioning Be Checked?
There is no single regas schedule that applies to every vehicle.
Keepin Cool recommends having your air conditioning checked and regassed around every two years and no later than four years.
Have it inspected sooner if cooling performance drops, refrigerant is being lost, unusual noises develop or another AC fault appears.

You deal directly with an experienced owner-operator who specialises in automotive air conditioning rather than general mechanical repairs.
The focus is on identifying the problem first, explaining the options clearly and carrying out the appropriate repair or regas using professional automotive AC equipment.
