Have you noticed a change in your car’s air con? If your auto air conditioning is putting a strain on your fuel economy or pushing out nothing but warm air, it may be time to get it checked by a professional.
Your auto air conditioning system is important for both comfort and efficiency. Not getting the proper servicing can cause problems such as reduced fuel efficiency and not being able to properly demist the windscreen.
Over time, cracks can also appear that allow gas to escape, which will massively reduce the cooling effect and be even more costly to fix if left unchecked.

Car Air Conditioning FAQs
Why is my car’s air conditioning blowing warm air?
The most common reason for a car’s AC blowing warm air is a lack of refrigerant. This is usually caused by a leak in the system. Other potential causes include a faulty compressor, a blocked condenser, or an electrical issue. Our technicians can diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution.
How often should I get my car’s air conditioning serviced?
We recommend getting your car’s air conditioning system checked every 1-2 years. Regular servicing helps to prevent costly repairs by catching leaks early and ensuring the system is operating efficiently. It also ensures the air in your cabin is clean and free of bacteria.
What is the difference between an AC regas and a full AC service?
An AC regas simply involves topping up the refrigerant in your system. A full AC service is more comprehensive and includes a leak test, a check of all components (compressor, condenser, hoses), and a regas with new refrigerant and lubricant. We also add a UV dye to help detect any future leaks.
How much does a car air conditioning service cost?
The cost of an AC service depends on the type of refrigerant your car uses and whether any repairs are needed. We provide a full quote before starting any work. A service is a worthwhile investment to ensure your comfort and prevent more expensive repairs down the line.
Can I use a DIY AC recharge kit?
While DIY kits are available, we don’t recommend them. They can be dangerous if used incorrectly and may not fix the underlying problem. A professional service ensures the correct amount and type of refrigerant is used, and that any leaks are properly repaired.
How long does a car air conditioning service take?
A standard car air conditioning service and regas usually takes around 1-2 hours. If a significant leak or a faulty component is found, the repair may take longer. We will always keep you informed of the progress.
Is my car’s AC system covered by the Bosch Car Service Nationwide Warranty?
Yes, all our air conditioning services and repairs are covered by the Bosch Car Service Nationwide Warranty, which covers parts and labour. This gives you peace of mind wherever you travel in Australia.
