Car Air Conditioning Regas & Servicing
With new laws regulating the air conditioning industry set out by the Australian Refrigeration Council, it is most important that an accredited licensed repairer carries out any air conditioning repairs to your vehicle as the gas used in the automotive air conditioning system is ozone depleting.
The air conditioning service process is strictly governed and the procedures must be adhered to without exception. The equipment used must be fastidiously maintained and leak tests and conditions checks conducted regularly.

Our experienced technicians will ensure that your vehicle’s air conditioning system is operating to capacity and the process is completed in an environmentally sound and safe manner.

Car Air Conditioning Service and Repair
Did you know that the function of a car air conditioning system is not only to cool the cabin in summer but to also be used with the climate control system to dry the air, enabling the demisting of your windscreen during winter?
Pace has the very latest air conditioning servicing equipment from Europe that ensures your car air con system is serviced to the exact manufacturer’s parameters and specifications.
Maintaining Your Prestige Auto’s Air Conditioning Unit
It is very important to evacuate, measure and inject the correct amounts of R134a gas, fluoro dye and Pag oil into a vehicle’s air conditioner for it to be able to operate to its capacity. The new machine does all this while evaluating the system for peak efficiency and can identify leaks in the process.
Should your air con system fail the testing procedure, we will need to identify the leak’s location and quote on a repair to commission the system back to a satisfactory working order. It is illegal for us to just top up a leaking air conditioning system and, by law, we must decommission the system if the necessary repair is not undertaken.

Frequently Asked questions
How Often Should I Service My Car Air Conditioner?
Regular servicing is recommended every 1-2 years to ensure optimal performance of car air conditioning systems and to prevent any major issues arising.
What Are The Signs My Car’s Air Conditioning Needs Servicing?
Common signs that your vehicle’s air con needs a service include weak airflow, strange noises, a musty smell and the blowing of hot air instead of cold air.
What Does A Typical Car Air Conditioning Service Include?
A typical service may include checking refrigerant levels, inspecting for leaks, cleaning or replacing the air filters to maintain air quality and ensuring the proper function of all components.
What Should I Do If I Suspect A Leak In My Car’s Air Conditioning System?
If you suspect a leak, it is crucial to have your car inspected by a professional as soon as possible. This prevents further damage from occurring and ensures the system operates efficiently.
Is An Air Conditioning Service & Air Conditioning Regas The Same Thing?
An air conditioning regas and a full service aren’t the same thing. A regas simply replaces the refrigerant gas to restore cooling. A service is more comprehensive, including system checks, leak inspection, component testing and overall performance assessment – with a regas only done if needed.
In short, a regas is one part of a proper air conditioning service, not a replacement for it.
Why Is My Car Air Conditioning Not Blowing Cold Air?
This is often caused by low refrigerant levels, a leak in the system, a faulty compressor or blocked filters. A professional inspection is the best way to identify the exact issue and restore proper cooling performance.
