Signs You Need a Regas
Over time, even a perfectly sealed air conditioning system will slowly lose refrigerant. This means your A/C has to work harder, cools less efficiently, and can eventually put strain on expensive components like the compressor. Spotting the signs early can save you money and keep your driving experience comfortable year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions – Air Conditioning Regassing
How often should I re-gas my car’s air conditioning?
Most vehicles need a regas every 2–4 years. Over time, small amounts of refrigerant naturally escape, which reduces cooling performance.
What are the signs my car needs a regas?
If the air is warmer than usual, takes longer to cool, or you haven’t had the system serviced in years, it’s likely time for a regas.
Is regassing part of a regular car service?
No. A/C regassing is a separate procedure that requires specialised equipment and certification.
Can I just top up the gas myself?
We don’t recommend it. Handling refrigerant without proper tools and training can be dangerous, and adding gas without fixing leaks can cause serious damage to your system.
Do you check for leaks before regassing?
Yes. Every regas at Matipo Garage includes a full leak inspection so you don’t waste money on refrigerant that will just escape.
How long does the regassing service take?
Most regasses are completed in 60–90 minutes, so you can get back on the road the same day.
What type of refrigerant do you use?
This will depend on the make and model of your vehicle, we only use the manufacturer-approved refrigerant for your vehicle.
