20 Jan Mobile Car AC Regassing Thorneside
Need a mobile car aircon regas in Thorneside? Keepin Cool Auto Air provides professional automotive air conditioning servicing at your home or workplace, where suitable.
Before adding refrigerant, I inspect the air conditioning system to determine whether a regas is actually the right solution. If there is evidence of a leak, compressor fault, electrical problem or another AC issue, I explain what has been found before further work proceeds.
Keepin Cool is owner-operated with 40+ years of 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.
Mobile Car Aircon Regas Service in Thorneside
A car air conditioning system that is low on refrigerant may struggle to produce cold air, particularly during Queensland’s warmer weather.
Common signs that your AC may need attention include:
- Air not getting as cold as it used to
- Warm air from the vents
- Cooling that becomes intermittent
- AC taking longer to cool the cabin
- Refrigerant loss
- Changes in compressor operation
- Unusual AC noises
These symptoms do not always mean the vehicle simply needs more gas.
That is why Keepin Cool uses a diagnostic-first approach rather than automatically regassing every vehicle that is not cooling properly.

What Happens During a Car Aircon Regas?
A proper air conditioning regas involves more than simply adding refrigerant.
Our process generally includes:
- Initial inspection of the vehicle’s air conditioning system
- Recovery of the existing refrigerant
- Vacuum testing for at least 30 minutes
- Checking that the system maintains vacuum
- Adding the correct amount of refrigerant
- Adding the appropriate compressor oil and UV dye where required
- Final performance testing, including operating pressures and vent temperature
A straightforward regas generally takes around 30–40 minutes, provided another fault is not discovered during the inspection.
For a more detailed explanation, see our guide to regassing your car air conditioner.
What If My Car AC Has a Leak?
If your air conditioning has lost refrigerant because of a significant leak, simply adding more gas may not solve the problem.
Leaks can occur from components such as:
- AC hoses
- O-rings and seals
- Condenser
- Compressor
- Service fittings
- Other refrigerant-system components
If further investigation is required, our car AC inspection and fault diagnostics service starts from $170.
If a repair is required, I explain the problem and available options before additional work proceeds.
