Professional Air Conditioning Recharge from £59.95 • R134a & R1234yf Gas • Same Day Service
At Premier Garage Services, we provide professional air conditioning regas services for all vehicle makes and models at our RAC-approved garage in Stockport. Our qualified technicians use modern equipment to safely recharge your AC system with the correct refrigerant, restoring your air conditioning to optimal cooling performance.
Over time, all vehicle air conditioning systems naturally lose refrigerant gas, reducing cooling efficiency. A regular regas service is the most cost-effective way to maintain your AC system's performance. Our workshop in Hazel Grove is equipped to handle both R134a and R1234yf refrigerants, ensuring we can service vehicles of all ages with the correct gas type.
AC regas is the process of removing old refrigerant from your air conditioning system and replacing it with fresh refrigerant gas. This service restores your AC system's ability to cool effectively and efficiently.
Our regas service includes:
R134a Refrigerant: Used in vehicles manufactured before 2017. This is the traditional refrigerant that has been widely used for many years and is still perfectly safe and effective.
R1234yf Refrigerant: The newer, more environmentally friendly refrigerant used in vehicles manufactured from 2017 onwards. It has a much lower global warming potential than R134a.
Identification: We can identify which refrigerant your vehicle uses by checking the year of manufacture, VIN number, and system labels. Using the wrong refrigerant can damage your AC system.
Cost Difference: R1234yf is more expensive than R134a due to its newer technology and environmental benefits, but both provide excellent cooling performance.
We follow a comprehensive process to ensure your AC system is recharged safely and effectively.
We check your AC system's current performance and identify the correct refrigerant type for your vehicle.
Old refrigerant is safely recovered and the system is evacuated to remove moisture and contaminants.
We perform vacuum testing to ensure there are no leaks that would cause the new refrigerant to escape.
Fresh refrigerant is added to the correct quantity as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
We test the system to ensure it's cooling effectively and operating at the correct pressures.
Recognising when your air conditioning system needs a regas can help you maintain optimal cooling performance and prevent more expensive repairs:
We recommend having your AC system recharged every 2-3 years as part of regular maintenance, even if you haven't noticed performance issues.

Regular regas services also improve fuel efficiency, as a properly functioning AC system doesn't have to work as hard to cool your vehicle.
We recommend having your AC system regassed every 2-3 years as part of regular maintenance. However, if you notice reduced cooling performance, it may need regas sooner. Annual checks can help identify when regas is needed.
A standard AC regas typically takes 1-2 hours. This includes system evacuation, leak testing, and refilling with fresh refrigerant. You can usually wait while the service is completed.
R1234yf refrigerant is more expensive than R134a due to its newer technology and environmental benefits. However, both provide excellent cooling performance, and the choice depends on your vehicle's specifications.
Regas will restore cooling performance if the only issue is low refrigerant levels. However, if there are leaks, faulty components, or other problems, additional repairs may be needed. We'll diagnose any other issues during the service.
Generally, vehicles manufactured before 2017 use R134a, while newer vehicles use R1234yf. We can identify the correct refrigerant for your vehicle using the VIN number and system labels.
All old refrigerant is safely recovered using professional equipment and sent for proper recycling. We follow strict environmental regulations to prevent harmful emissions and protect the environment.
