With over 40 years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience, Jamie delivers professional, owner-operated service throughout Victoria Point and surrounding Redland City suburbs.
We don’t just add gas. We inspect and leak-test your air conditioning system first, then regas if it passes.

Our fully mobile service means there’s no need to arrange a workshop visit for a routine air conditioning inspection or regas.
Mobile Car Aircon Regas in Victoria Point
Driving around Victoria Point during Queensland’s warmer months can quickly become uncomfortable when your car air conditioning isn’t cooling properly.
You might notice the air is no longer as cold as it used to be, or the cabin takes much longer to cool after the vehicle has been parked in the sun.
However, warm air doesn’t always mean the system simply needs more refrigerant.
That’s why our regas service begins with an inspection to establish whether the system is suitable for recharging.
What’s included in our regas process?
- Initial inspection: Check the air conditioning system and assess cooling performance.
- Leak testing: Use appropriate methods, including professional Trace-A-Gas testing where suitable.
- Refrigerant servicing: Recover the remaining refrigerant and evacuate the system to remove air and moisture.
- Correct recharge: Add the manufacturer’s specified refrigerant quantity, appropriate compressor oil and UV dye.
- Final performance check: Assess system operation and cooling performance after servicing.
A straightforward regas generally takes approximately 30–40 minutes when the system passes inspection. Additional diagnosis or repairs may take longer.
We service suitable conventional vehicles using both R134a and HFO-1234yf refrigerants.

Car Air Conditioning Repairs in Victoria Point
Sometimes the air conditioning system needs more than a regas.
A faulty compressor, refrigerant leak or electrical problem can stop the system from cooling correctly, even when the cabin blower is still operating.
At Keepin Cool, we investigate a range of car air conditioning faults, including:
- Refrigerant leakage from hoses, seals and fittings.
- Damaged or leaking air conditioning condensers.
- Faulty compressor clutches and compressor controls.
- Electrical relays, wiring and pressure-sensor problems.
- Air conditioning that cools intermittently.
- Cooling performance that deteriorates in stationary traffic.
- Selected blower motor and ventilation faults.
These faults can produce similar symptoms but require different repairs.
We inspect the system to identify the actual cause before recommending replacement components.
Depending on the problem, suitable repairs may be completed at your location. More extensive work is assessed individually.

Professional Refrigerant Leak Detection in Victoria Point
If your air conditioning has gradually stopped cooling or has become warm again after a previous regas, a refrigerant leak may be responsible.
Refrigerant can escape through small openings in hoses, condensers, compressors and other components.
Some leaks are visible around external connections, while others require more detailed testing.
At Keepin Cool, we use appropriate professional leak-detection equipment, including Trace-A-Gas pressure testing, to help locate refrigerant loss.
Once the source has been identified, we’ll explain the repair options before carrying out additional work.
A leaking hose may sometimes be repaired, depending on its design and condition. Other components may require replacement.

Why Does My Car Aircon Get Warm in Traffic?
One complaint we investigate is air conditioning that cools reasonably well while driving but becomes warmer when the vehicle is stationary.
This can be particularly noticeable during stop-start driving around Victoria Point and the surrounding Redlands.
Possible causes include poor condenser airflow, cooling fan problems, incorrect refrigerant charge or reduced compressor performance.
The condenser needs adequate airflow to remove heat from the refrigerant. When the vehicle is stationary, cooling fan operation becomes especially important.
However, warm air at idle doesn’t automatically mean the cooling fan is faulty.
We check how the system operates before recommending repairs, helping avoid unnecessary parts and costs.
Car Aircon Regas Prices in Victoria Point
For suitable vehicles, our standard R134a regas is $270, while HFO-1234yf regassing starts from $590, including up to 600 grams of refrigerant.
We inspect and leak-test first. The regas charge applies only when the regas is successfully completed.
If repairs are required before regassing and you choose not to proceed, a $170 inspection fee applies.
Any additional repairs or refrigerant charges are explained before proceeding.
