It's easy to assume every air conditioning problem needs a regas, but a regas and a repair address different things.
What a regas does
A regas, or recharge, replaces the refrigerant in your system with the correct amount and type for your vehicle. It's a maintenance service rather than a fix for a fault.
What a repair addresses
A repair deals with an actual fault, such as a leak, a damaged component or another system problem, that's preventing the air conditioning from working correctly.
How to know which you need
If your system simply hasn't been serviced in a while and cooling has gradually reduced, a regas may be appropriate. If refrigerant has escaped quickly, or the system fails soon after a regas, a repair is likely needed instead.
DB Autos can assess your air conditioning and recommend whether you need a regas, a repair, or both. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
