How often should you service your car A/C?

Car air conditioning systems should be serviced every 2 years, even if the system appears to be working. Over time, refrigerant gas gradually leaks from the system, reducing cooling performance. A Kwik Fit A/C service includes recharging the refrigerant to the correct level, checking for leaks, and ensuring the system operates efficiently.

Signs your A/C needs servicing

Common signs that your car air conditioning needs attention include reduced cooling performance, unusual noises when the A/C is running, unpleasant odours from the vents, and the A/C blowing warm air. If you notice any of these symptoms, book an A/C service at Kwik Fit to diagnose and resolve the issue.

What is included in the A/C service?

The Kwik Fit air conditioning service includes a full system recharge with refrigerant gas, removal of old gas and moisture, leak detection, system pressure check, and a vent temperature test. An antibacterial treatment is also available to eliminate odours and improve air quality inside the vehicle.

FAQs

How much does an A/C recharge cost at Kwik Fit?

An air conditioning recharge at Kwik Fit typically costs around £50. The price includes removing old refrigerant, recharging with new gas, and a system performance check. Prices may vary by vehicle and refrigerant type.

How long does an A/C service take?

An air conditioning recharge takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. This includes removing the old refrigerant, vacuum testing the system for leaks, and recharging with fresh gas.

Why does my car A/C smell bad?

Unpleasant smells from car A/C vents are usually caused by bacteria and mould growing in the evaporator. Kwik Fit offers an antibacterial treatment that eliminates the odour-causing bacteria and freshens the air inside your vehicle.

Can Kwik Fit service all types of A/C systems?

Kwik Fit can service most vehicle air conditioning systems, including older R134a systems and newer R1234yf systems. The technician will confirm which refrigerant your vehicle uses and provide the appropriate service.
