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.

“The service and MOT carried out by Nissan Darlington was exemplary. From the minute you walk through the doors, you're treated with respect, everything is explained before any work is carried out, and the staff, from service manager, service advisor and technicians, work hard to make sure the work is carried out to your full satisfaction.”
