Hey my air con isn't as cold as would like it to be and guess the gas may need recharged???

Where would i get this done and any idea how much??

Cheers guys n gals

i know that quick fit were doing an air con recharge and anti bacterial wash out for 60 quid.

Went to have mine done but they could not do it as it was compleatly dry.

As above, Kwik Fit will recharge your aircon for £45 and if they can't (ie its faulty) there's no charge

Sound good, just with the scorching scottish summer coming in thought i'd make sure there's gonna be icicles dripping from my nose while every other tube has sweaty armpits

Mine cost me £50 cash in hand at a local air con specialist

paid 50 inc inc discharge dye and lube

You have to check if you aircon is not leaking, otherwise you will lose the gas again.
Find a proper aircon specialist not the “EverythingWeDo” guys, as these are expensive and most of times it’s not worth the money.

Dont use Kwikfit - they are cowboys when it comes to air con.  Use a specialist - usually works out cheaper!

Agreed. I used to think they were a cheap way of getting a fillup, and that they have an automated machine so nothing can go wrong. However, they managed to strip the thread on my low side valve cap.

Seems they can make a horlicks of even the simplest things.

If the problem is anything more than needing a regas, they'll be no use whatsoever.

I can't believe they'll do a PROPER recharge - vac, test, refill - for less than a tenner !!  If they do its a bloody good price !!!

The info I've found is £49.98 !!!

Had mine refilled from 250g to 950g at Kwik Fit. Thought it was a good service at an excellent price.
