Mobile Car Air Conditioning Services in Carindale
Keepin Cool specialises in automotive air conditioning rather than general mechanical repairs or household air conditioning.
Our mobile service covers inspections, refrigerant regassing, leak detection and suitable air conditioning repairs.
Car Aircon Regas – R134a & HFO-1234yf
If your air conditioning has lost cooling performance, refrigerant loss may be one possible cause.
Keepin Cool services suitable vehicles using both R134a and HFO-1234yf refrigerants.
Our professional regas includes initial inspection, appropriate leak testing, refrigerant recovery, vacuum evacuation, accurate recharging by manufacturer-specified weight and final cooling-performance checks.
Compressor oil is added as required, together with UV dye during regassing to help identify future refrigerant leaks.

Professional Car Aircon Leak Detection
Refrigerant leaks can develop in condensers, hoses, compressor connections, seals and other air conditioning components.
Keepin Cool uses professional methods, including Trace-A-Gas pressure testing, to help locate refrigerant leaks before regassing.
A vacuum test alone cannot reliably identify every small leak.
If a fault needs repairing before regassing, we’ll explain the findings and provide a quote first.
For more information, visit our Car Air Conditioning Leak Detection page.
Car Air Conditioning Fault Diagnostics
Not every vehicle blowing warm air needs regassing.
Compressor problems, electrical faults, pressure sensors, faulty cooling fans and refrigerant-flow restrictions can all affect cooling performance.
Our Car Air Conditioning Inspection & Fault Diagnostics service helps identify the cause before unnecessary work is carried out.
Car Aircon Repairs & Component Replacement
When a fault is confirmed, Keepin Cool can provide suitable repairs or replacement of automotive air conditioning components.
Depending on the vehicle, this may include refrigerant hoses, condensers, compressors and related components.
We also investigate electrical and cooling fan faults that may prevent proper air conditioning operation.

All repairs are assessed individually, and a quote is provided before additional work proceeds.
Why We Inspect and Leak-Test Before Regassing
An automotive air conditioning system is designed to retain its refrigerant.
When refrigerant escapes, the cause should be investigated rather than repeatedly adding more gas.
Low refrigerant may reduce cooling performance, but similar symptoms can also result from mechanical or electrical faults.
That’s why our approach begins with professional inspection and appropriate leak testing, including Trace-A-Gas where required.
If the system passes inspection, we can proceed with regassing.
If a leak or another fault must be repaired first, we’ll explain the problem and provide a repair quote.
You only pay the regas charge when the regas is successfully completed.
If repairs are necessary before regassing and you decide not to proceed, the applicable inspection fee applies.
Our current charges are available on the Keepin Cool Car Air Conditioning Prices page.
What Happens During a Mobile Car Aircon Regas?
A proper regas involves more than simply topping up refrigerant.
Our professional service generally includes:
- Initial inspection – Assess the system, cooling performance and operating symptoms.
- Leak testing – Check for refrigerant leaks using appropriate professional testing methods, including Trace-A-Gas where required.
- Refrigerant recovery – Recover any remaining refrigerant with dedicated servicing equipment.
- Vacuum evacuation – Remove air and moisture before recharging.
- Accurate recharge – Add the correct refrigerant quantity by manufacturer-specified weight, with compressor oil as required and UV dye.
- Final performance check – Test operating pressures, vent temperatures and cooling performance.
Each vehicle is assessed individually. A straightforward inspection and regas generally takes approximately 30–40 minutes, although additional diagnosis or repairs may take longer.
Common Signs Your Car Air Conditioning Needs Attention
Carindale drivers may notice cooling problems during hot weather, slow traffic or everyday commuting.
Common symptoms include:
- Warm air blowing from the dashboard vents
- Cooling becoming weaker over time
- Cold air while driving but warm air at traffic lights
- Air conditioning that stops cooling intermittently
- Unusual noises when the air conditioning is operating
- Cooling performance deteriorating after a previous regas
- Weak airflow from the dashboard vents
These symptoms don’t automatically mean your vehicle needs more refrigerant.
For example, poor cooling while stationary may indicate a condenser cooling fan problem. Intermittent operation may involve compressor controls or electrical faults.
Professional diagnosis helps identify the actual cause before recommending repairs or regassing.
