Our Services & Pricing Guidelines

It's important to remember that your AC System is used and works in the winter months just as it does the rest of the year. When the driver selects demist mode, the AC system is operated to remove moisture and keep the windscreen and interior free and clear from condensation. This promotes safer driving at all times. With regular winter use your Air Conditioning should be in good condition to tackle those hot summer days.

But if your AC system is under-performing or just plain dead, then look below for some great offers to keep you demisted in winter and cool in summer.

When the system is in use, a low gas and oil charge leads to greatly increased wear of the compressor, due to improper lubrication. This is likely to cause premature compressor failure. Additionally, moisture from air in the system leads to corrosive acids forming in the system, which damages the entire system,whether you use it or not.  

So if your system is working do use it regularly throughout winter and summer and get an annual inspection from AutoFrio Services to make sure it is running at peak performance and is fully charged. Alternatively if your system is dead now, do not put it off to get it repaired because it may cost you significantly more.

Please note that we DO NOT offer a Re-Gas Only Service. All customers must accept the Inspection Service and only after a successful Inspection will you get a Re-Gas Service. Unlike some other AC Service outfits and garages we do not subscribe to adding to global warming or breaking the law by gassing leaky or defective AC systems. Please act responsibly and make sure that your system is tested and fit for purpose.

Use it or lose it!!! Lack of use, whether the system is working or not, is the single biggest reason for subsequent system failure and costly repairs.

Why? Well, an AC system must be run on a regular basis to ensure all seals are kept lubricated. Lubricated seals help to minimise gas and oil losses and in turn prevent moisture laden air entering the system.

We handle both older R12 refrigerant gas systems (pre-1993 approx) as well as all modern R134a refrigerant systems. For the older R12 systems it is now impossible, due to environmental legislation, to offer this gas type. Our solution is to offer a true 'drop in' replacement to R12 known as RS24. This refrigerant solves the problem and considerable expense of having to completely retrofit your system to work with R134a refrigerant.
