Is your car air conditioning not blowing as cold as it should? Over time, your vehicle’s aircon loses gas and efficiency, leaving you with weak cooling, unpleasant smells, or a misted-up windscreen. That’s where we can help.
At Plympton Car Centre, we provide fast and affordable car aircon regas in Plymouth, restoring your system to full performance in under an hour. Our trained technicians are here to service all makes and models, using either R134a or the latest R1234yf refrigerant, depending on your vehicle.
Regular air conditioning maintenance doesn’t just keep you comfortable, it also improves air quality, reduces strain on your engine, and helps prevent costly repairs later on.

Why Does My Car’s Aircon Need Regassing?
Your car’s air conditioning isn’t just about keeping cool, it filters out pollen, bacteria, and pollutants, improving air quality inside your vehicle. Over time, the system naturally loses refrigerant gas, which reduces cooling performance and can increase fuel consumption.
Most manufacturers recommend a regas every two to three years. Since air conditioning isn’t checked during an MOT, it’s up to you to keep it maintained.
What Is An Aircon Regas?
An aircon regas (or recharge) is the process of removing old refrigerant gas from your car’s air conditioning system and refilling it with new gas to restore performance.
When you book your air conditioning regas with us, our expert technicians will:
- Recover the old refrigerant gas
- Check your air conditioning system for leaks or faults
- Clean and prepare the system
- Refill with the correct gas (R134a or R1234yf, depending on your car)
The process usually takes less than an hour, so you can wait while we work.
Signs You Might Need an Aircon Regas
Look out for these common warning signs that your car’s aircon needs attention:
- Weak or warm airflow
- Unpleasant smells when the aircon is running
- Windows not demisting as effectively
- It’s been over two years since your last regas
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to book your car air conditioning regas.
How Much Does an Aircon Regas Cost?
At Plympton Car Centre, our aircon regas service starts from £119. The final cost depends on your vehicle and the type of refrigerant gas required. We’ll always provide clear, upfront pricing before carrying out any work.
