Air conditioning regas in Wrexham (R1234yf)
Air con regas for cars registered from 2017 at ONEFIX, Wrexham — £102 inc. VAT, fixed. The newer gas costs more; the job is the same care.
An air conditioning regas at ONEFIX in Wrexham costs £102 inc. VAT for cars using R1234yf, the gas fitted to most cars registered from 2017. The gas itself is what makes it dearer than the older type. We vacuum the system, check it holds, then refill it with the correct weight of gas and oil, and tell you first if it will not hold.
What we do
The old gas is recovered, the system is pulled into a vacuum and held to check for leaks, then charged with the manufacturer's weight of R1234yf and the correct oil, with UV dye for tracing any future leak.
Signs you need it
Air that is cool but not cold, slow cooling on a hot day, or a windscreen that mists and will not clear.
What we check at the same time
Every job comes with a free digital vehicle health check: tyres, brakes, lights, fluids, and anything the technician spots — with photos, and nothing done unless you approve it.
