Spotswood is a small suburb wedged between the Westgate and the river, part housing and part industry. Salt off the bay and grit off the freeway both land here, and a condenser that cannot shed heat will run the system at high pressure until the compressor pays for it.
We see the full range here — family cars, work utes and the occasional truck or piece of machinery. We cover the whole of Spotswood and the streets running off Hall Street, Melbourne Road and Douglas Parade, and being fully mobile means there is no drop-off, no waiting room and no second trip to collect the vehicle.
Everything is charged by weight to your vehicle's specification and vacuum tested before any refrigerant goes in. We hold ARC Licence AU28157 and carry both R134a and R1234yf, so newer vehicles are no obstacle.

Common questions
Before you book
Do you come to me?
Yes — we are fully mobile across Melbourne's western suburbs, from the CBD out through Sunshine, Keilor, Caroline Springs and Werribee to Melton and Sunbury. We come to your home, workplace, depot, yard or farm, and the van carries refrigerant, nitrogen, oil, hose and crimping gear so most jobs finish in a single visit. Work further afield in the wider Melbourne metro area can usually be arranged — just ask.
How much does a car air conditioning re-gas cost?
It depends on which refrigerant your vehicle uses and how much it holds. R134a systems on most cars are the cheaper end; R1234yf, fitted to most vehicles built from about 2017, costs considerably more because the refrigerant itself is expensive. Call us on 0481 820 735 with your make, model and year and we will give you a price over the phone. If the system is empty rather than just low, we will recommend a leak test first so you are not paying for gas twice.
Why is my air conditioning blowing warm air?
The most common causes are low refrigerant from a leak, a failed compressor or compressor clutch, a blocked or stone-damaged condenser, a blend door actuator stuck on hot, or an electrical lock-out from a pressure switch. Some of those are cheap and some are not, which is why we test pressures and check the electrics before quoting rather than assuming it needs gas.
What is R1234yf and does my car have it?
R1234yf is the refrigerant that replaced R134a in new vehicles to meet greenhouse gas rules, and it is used in most cars built from roughly 2017 onwards. It is classified as mildly flammable, so it requires separate equipment, separate recovery gear and a licensed operator — which is why some workshops turn these cars away. Your refrigerant type is printed on a sticker under the bonnet, or we can tell you from the make, model and year.
