About Us
I always had a love for anything with a engine from a very young age, I served my apprenticeship in a main dealership gaining the best diagnostic techniques available. I knew the time was right to start my own garage with my main focus of being honest about repairs and giving an explanation of the work needed. I'm very proud of every job I do and every car is worked on as if it is owned by myself. This is also reflected in saving my customers thousands of pounds from other garage quotes as there are so many repair options on today's modern cars.

Mobile Air Con Regas in Southampton
If you need an air con regas, but don't have time to take your car into a local garage, book an appointment with a local mobile mechanic. 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.
What Does an Air Con Regas Include?
An air con regas includes a full removal and refresh of your system’s refrigerant gas. During this process, a technician will:
- Ensure your car is using the correct refrigerant gas (R134a vs 1234YF)
- Use specialist equipment to remove the old refrigerant
- Check for any obvious leaks within the system
- Refill your car’s air conditioning system with the right refrigerant gas
The technician will then test your system after the regas to ensure everything is working properly.
What Are the Benefits of an Air Con Regas?
The three main benefits of an air con regas are:
- Increased Fuel Efficiency. If your system is running low on refrigerant gas, it will have to work harder to cool the air in your cabin. This extra work requires more fuel which can mean more regular trips to a petrol station.
- Reduced Repair Costs. Running a faulty air conditioning system for an extended period of time can accelerate the wear and tear of certain parts, such as the compressor. Replacing this part is much more expensive than booking an air conditioning regas.
- Improved Demisting Ability. While it may seem counter-productive to use your car’s air con to demist the windscreen in the winter, it can actually be quicker than using the heater. This cool dry air is still warmer than the glass and is quite effective at clearing your field of vision. Plus, you don’t have to wait for the engine to warm up before you can start demisting.
