Mobile Car Aircon Regas in Birkdale
Need a mobile car aircon regas in Birkdale? Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional automotive air conditioning servicing at your home or workplace where suitable.
Before adding refrigerant, the air conditioning system is inspected to determine whether a regas is actually the correct solution. Poor cooling can also be caused by a refrigerant leak, compressor fault, electrical problem or another AC system issue.
Keepin Cool is owner-operated with 40+ years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience and ARCtick authorisation AU13448.
Current starting prices are:
R134a Regas – from $270
HFO-R1234yf Regas – from $590, including up to 600g of refrigerant.

What Is Included in a Car Aircon Regas?
A professional regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
Our process generally includes:
- Initial AC system inspection
- Recovery of existing refrigerant
- Vacuuming the system for at least 30 minutes
- Checking that the system maintains vacuum
- Adding the correct refrigerant charge
- Adding the appropriate compressor oil and UV dye where required
- Final system pressure and vent-temperature testing
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes, provided the initial inspection does not identify another fault requiring further diagnosis.
For more information about the process, read our guide to regassing your car air conditioner.
Does Warm Air Mean My Car Needs a Regas?
Not necessarily.
Warm or poorly performing air conditioning can be caused by:
- Low refrigerant
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor problems
- Electrical faults
- Damaged AC hoses
- Pressure sensor faults
- Condenser problems
- Other AC system faults
That is why Keepin Cool uses a diagnostic-first approach rather than automatically adding refrigerant.
If your AC has stopped cooling properly, our car AC inspection and fault diagnostics service can identify the cause.
Signs Your Car Air Conditioning May Need Attention
Common warning signs include:
- Air not getting as cold as it used to
- Warm air from the vents
- Cooling becoming intermittent
- AC taking longer to cool the cabin
- Unusual noises when the AC is operating
- Refrigerant loss
- Changes in compressor operation
- Cooling performance dropping during hot weather
These symptoms can indicate low refrigerant, but they may also point to another AC fault.
You can read more about the signs your car air conditioning may need regassing.
What If the Air Conditioning Has a Leak?
If the system has lost refrigerant because of a significant leak, simply adding more gas may not provide a lasting repair.
Leaks can occur from:
- AC hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condensers
- Compressors
- Service fittings
- Other refrigerant-system components
Where further leak investigation is required, professional testing can be used to locate the source of refrigerant loss.
More detailed diagnostics start from $170.
If a repair is required, the problem and available repair options are explained before additional work proceeds.
