After you book your air con regas in Bristol, we send you a confirmation email with a summary of your booking. We also inform the garage and they may also be in touch to confirm the appointment or to ask for extra details.
You never pay for your booking until after all the work has been completed and deal with the garage directly after the initial booking process. You also have the ability to change or cancel your booking for free until the day of your appointment.
If you need an air con regas, but don't have time to take your car into a local garage, why not book an appointment with a local mobile mechanic instead? They come and complete the work at a time and place that best suits you.
Here are just a few ways a mobile air con regas can benefit you:
Convenience - Rather than having to find time to take your car to a garage and then trying to keep your life on track without it, you can have your air con regas completed at a location that works best for you. This could be your driveway or a car park at work during your normal day. This helps you avoid disruption.
Flexibility - You may be able to book a mobile air con regas on a weekend, evening or even overnight, depending on the mobile mechanics in your area. If your schedule doesn’t really accommodate maintenance at a traditional garage, this can make your life easier.
Transparency - You get to see what is happening during your mobile air con regas at all times. This makes it easier to trust the quality of the work and gives you the peace of mind that all the checks have been completed to the highest standard.
Cheaper - A mobile air con regas involves less overhead costs and expenses, so they are often at least competitively priced against, if not cheaper than most local garages.
The biggest difference between an air con regas/recharge and an air conditioning service is the amount of work they include. An air conditioning recharge is just another way to refer to an air con regas; they are one and the same.
During an air con regas, a technician will use a specialised machine to remove the old refrigerant, usually check for any leaks within the system and, if all is well, refill the system with the right amount of fresh refrigerant and lubricating oil.
During an air conditioning service, a technician will complete the same recharging process but will give your system a proper inspection. This usually includes:
However, this can vary from garage to garage. All these extra checks mean that a service is more expensive than a recharge.
