Car & Van Air Conditioning - Sittingbourne

How often should it be serviced?

  • To maintain optimal performance and reliability, most manufacturers recommend having your AC serviced and recharged every two years.
  • Even during colder months, running your air conditioning occasionally helps keep the system lubricated and prevents components, such as seals, from drying out.

Why it matters

If your air con isn’t as cold as it used to be, it may simply need recharging. Over time:

  • Refrigerant gas naturally depletes
  • Lubricating oil degrades
  • Moisture and debris can build up

Regular servicing assists in maintaining performance and prevents more costly issues.

Our service

At Gent's Garage, we carry out a full air conditioning service including:

  • Test old refrigerant gas and oil
  • Vacuuming the system to remove moisture and contaminants
  • Check for leaks using nitrogen
  • Recharging with fresh gas and oil
  • Adding UV dye to help detect any future leaks

We work with both gas types, so we can service your vehicle regardless of age:

  • R1234yf (Newer systems)
  • R134a (Older systems)
