sorted by9. Air Conditioning Recharge and Anti-Bacterial Clean takes approximately 1 hour. A pressure test will be carried out prior to the Air-conditioning Recharge being carried out. If a leak in the air conditioning system is detected the recharge will not proceed and the customer will be advised to get the system repaired. In such a circumstance the cost of the air conditioning recharge will be refunded.
I see they refund if a leak is found , good news if you buy a car and the a/c isn't working.
sellers will always say ' just wants a re-gas mate '
still good value, after last weeks lovely heat feel I might need ac this summer.
About 3 at Euro car parts for the anti bacterial cleaner

What you mean "ran out" only reason it would stop working is a leak. The gas is not a consumable
Even if it costs you more money, go elsewhere. It will save you a small fortune in the long run.
Problem with these 'bargain' top ups is that you should really evacuate the whole system and recharge with the correct amount of oil and refrigerant. If they just 'top up' the refrigerant you probably won't have the specified amount in there so performance and reliability could be adversely affected.
Voted hot.
Total combined price £48.78. coming for me.
so whats the total £38 or £48? not OP £28.
I fell for that 'just wants a re-gas' a few years back and worked out to be £1500 to fix! Sold the car instead
BTW need to get mine re-gassed as it ran out last week so sounds good op, thanks!

So it's only for older cars then. 134 has been illegal in new cars for donkey's years.
Bit of exaggeration 2017 not exactly donkey's years , your thinking of R12 refrigerant

If car needs R1234YF would think still be under new car warranty
My Mum told me about it, had hers done last week and I'm booked in for this Friday
Ah, maybe. That's OK then.
If working OK leave alone in theory should never need recharge .After all its just a fridge you never get that recharged
if woking ok .But car aircon more prone to leaks so sometimes lose bit of refrigerant
Just have evaporator (bit inside heater) anti bacteria cleaned as they can tend to smell
Had it done by ATS last year when they had this offer. IIRC they do suck the old stuff out first and the anti bac is optional. BTW most cars have a big sticker under the bonnet saying what type of refrigerant it takes.
I wouldnt mind paying for a full extraction and regas/additives.

Different places will be different, it all depends on the people working there. In ATS Morley I went in for an AC recharge and 2 tyres fitted. I enquired whether new valves and balancing is included in the price and they said yes. I told them, one of the wheels has a TPMS, that needs replacing with a standard valve. Mid way through, got brought over and was told they might have to replace the locking wheel bolts. What should have taken around an hour took 2.5 instead. Finally ready, they had replaced the locking wheel bolts without consulting on cost, but I was tired, I paid up and left.
Got home, realised I wasn't given an invoice, the valves weren't changed, the AC pipe valve caps were left on the strut and crushed by the bonnet (I replaced these a few weeks prior).
Went back to complain about the valves and invoice. The manager told me the valves weren't changed because I wasn't charged for it to which I replied, it's impossible for me to tell if I wasn't given an invoice. He printed an invoice off, it was a right state.
I pointed out the obvious errors and extra charges such as tyre disposal (meant to be included all inclusively) but only for one tyre when I had 2 changed etc etc. I was annoyed at having to return for what should have been a simple issue and voiced my concerns for safety and my time wasted for this. I just got told by the manager "You don't have to come back here then". At which point I told him to expect a demand for a refund made in that case.
Fast forward, ATS headquarters approved a £50 refund.... Now I am thinking I should be refunded the whole amount... my AC system was never adequately pressure tested because a week later, I have no AC again!
Same product with same product code for £3.88 on Carparts4less using code easter17
Just had this done today. No extras added on
Neither 134a or 1234yf are 'gases' they are refrigerants.
A leak has to be rather massive for the tiny vacuum they pull on these machines to be noticed.
A car ac system on 134a can run upto 17 bar from memory ( I don't do much car stuff)
1234yf runs much higher pressures.
If a system stops operating due to lack of refrigerant it must have a leak.
its against the law to recharge a leaky refrigeration system without finding the leak. TBH I don't know how they are still getting away with this TBH.
Side note, your fridge at home doesn't need charging because no one **** with it, your car should be the same...
First time poster, steve.
Thank you for that, it is good to have someone knowledgable aboard. Most of us are just guessing with specialised areas like this - we either wait for things to break (in this case get a refridgerant leak) or heed the manufacturers' warnings that things need servicing frequently. I fall into the second caragory and have booked my 3 year old car in for an a/c service at a local garage on Tuesday. It sounds (from what you say) that the car doesn't need it (it operates fine) and may even be better left alone.
Many thanks for your input.
