Our Mobile Car Air Conditioning Services
Keepin Cool specialises in automotive air conditioning rather than general mechanical servicing.
Our services include:
- R134a Car Aircon Regas – Refrigerant recovery, system checks, leak testing and recharge where appropriate.
- R1234yf Car Aircon Regas – Specialist equipment for newer vehicle refrigerant systems.
- Car AC Leak Detection – Trace-A-Gas pressure testing and UV dye inspection to help identify refrigerant leaks.
- Car AC Inspection & Fault Diagnostics – Cooling performance, pressure, compressor and electrical system testing.
- Car AC Compressor Replacement – Professional compressor fault diagnosis and replacement where required.
- Car AC Hose Repairs – Repairs or replacement of damaged air conditioning hoses and pipes.
We also investigate condenser damage, faulty cooling fans, electrical problems, intermittent cooling and restricted airflow.
Our priority is identifying the fault before recommending additional work.
Why Car Air Conditioning Diagnosis Matters
A vehicle that blows warm air doesn’t always need a regas.
Low refrigerant can reduce cooling performance, but similar symptoms can be caused by compressor faults, faulty pressure sensors, condenser airflow problems, damaged hoses or electrical issues.
For example, if your air conditioning cools while driving but becomes warm at traffic lights, there may be a cooling fan or condenser airflow problem.
Likewise, a vehicle that repeatedly loses cooling after being regassed may have a refrigerant leak that requires repair.
At Keepin Cool, we inspect the system before recommending a recharge. If we discover a significant leak or mechanical fault, we’ll explain the issue and discuss the available repair options.
This diagnostic-first approach helps reduce unnecessary regassing and component replacement.
Our Professional Mobile Car Aircon Regas Process
A proper car air conditioning regas involves more than adding refrigerant.
When your system is suitable for recharging, our procedure generally includes:
- System assessment: Inspect accessible air conditioning components and assess system condition.
- Leak testing: Use Trace-A-Gas pressure testing where appropriate to check for refrigerant leaks.
- Refrigerant recovery and evacuation: Recover remaining refrigerant and evacuate the system under vacuum for at least 30 minutes.
- Correct refrigerant recharge: Add the manufacturer-specified refrigerant quantity with the required compressor oil and UV dye.
- Performance testing: Check cooling operation, vent temperatures and system performance after servicing.
If a fault prevents a successful regas, we’ll explain the findings before proceeding with repairs.

Car Air Conditioning Problems Commonly Investigated
During hot Brisbane weather, an underperforming air conditioning system can make driving uncomfortable, particularly in slow-moving traffic and during short trips.
Signs that your vehicle needs attention include:
- Air from the vents is warm or not cold enough.
- Cooling becomes weaker when stopped in traffic.
- The compressor runs intermittently or doesn’t engage.
- The air conditioning makes unusual noises.
- Cooling performance gradually deteriorates.
- The system loses cooling again after a previous regas.
- There is weak airflow or an unpleasant ventilation smell.
A professional inspection can help determine whether the problem involves refrigerant loss, a component fault or the ventilation system.
