We come to your home or workplace to diagnose vehicle air conditioning problems, including warm air, poor cooling, refrigerant leaks, compressor faults, damaged hoses and electrical issues. If the system is suitable for a refrigerant recharge, we can also provide a mobile car aircon regas.
With 39+ years of hands-on automotive air conditioning experience and ARCtick authorisation AU13448, we take a diagnostic-first approach. We identify the likely cause before recommending a regas or repair. You can also check our ARCtick licence through the official licence checking service.

Car Air Conditioning Repairs Capalaba
A car air conditioning system can have several possible causes for the same symptom. Our car air conditioning repairs service covers a range of faults, from refrigerant leaks and compressor problems to electrical and component issues.
This is why we don’t automatically assume that every cooling problem requires a regas.
We inspect and test the system to help establish what is actually happening before recommending repairs.
Refrigerant Leak Detection
If your vehicle keeps losing refrigerant, repeatedly adding refrigerant may not solve the underlying problem.
We can investigate refrigerant loss using appropriate car aircon leak detection methods to help locate leaks in hoses, pipes, condensers, compressors and other components.
AC Hose and Pipe Repairs
Air conditioning hoses and pipes can deteriorate over time due to heat, pressure and vibration. A damaged component can allow refrigerant to escape and affect cooling performance.
Where suitable, faulty hoses or other components can be repaired or replaced.
Compressor Problems
The compressor is a major part of your vehicle’s air conditioning system. A fault can result in poor cooling, unusual noises or an AC system that doesn’t operate correctly.
We diagnose the system before recommending car air conditioning compressor replacement, helping confirm that the compressor is actually responsible.
Electrical AC Faults
Electrical controls, sensors, switches and fans all contribute to correct air conditioning operation.
A fault in one of these areas can cause cooling problems even when refrigerant levels are satisfactory. Testing helps determine whether the issue is electrical, mechanical or refrigerant-related.
Mobile Car Aircon Regas Capalaba
If your vehicle needs a refrigerant recharge, we provide mobile car aircon regas in Capalaba.
We service suitable R134a and HFO-1234yf systems using the refrigerant specified for the vehicle.
Before a recharge, the air conditioning system is inspected and tested. If a leak or another significant fault is identified, we’ll explain the problem before proceeding.
A regas can restore cooling when the system has lost refrigerant and is otherwise suitable for servicing, but adding refrigerant won’t repair a leaking component or other fault.
Aircon Working Sometimes but Not Others?
Intermittent air conditioning problems can be particularly frustrating. The system may work normally one day and then produce warm air the next.
There can be several reasons for this behaviour, including refrigerant loss, compressor operation, electrical controls, cooling fans or other components.
Because the fault may not be present all the time, simply adding refrigerant may not resolve the problem.
We can inspect and test the system to help identify what is causing the inconsistent performance.
What If Your Aircon Has Stopped Cooling Completely?
When an air conditioner suddenly stops producing cold air, it doesn’t necessarily mean the system needs a regas.
A complete loss of cooling can be associated with refrigerant loss, compressor problems, electrical faults or other component failures.
Our diagnostic-first approach helps establish what needs to be checked before you spend money on a repair or refrigerant recharge.
Once the problem has been identified, we’ll explain the available options.
Our Mobile AC Inspection Process
We use a straightforward process to diagnose vehicle air conditioning problems.
1. Discuss the Symptoms
We ask what the system is doing and whether the problem is constant or intermittent.
2. Inspect the System
The air conditioning system and relevant components are inspected.
3. Test Operation
We check system operation, pressures and cooling performance.
4. Investigate the Fault
Where required, further testing or leak detection can be carried out.
5. Explain the Findings
We explain the likely cause and discuss suitable repair or servicing options.
6. Complete Approved Work
Where practical, approved repairs or servicing can be completed at your location, followed by final performance testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my car aircon work sometimes and then stop cooling?
Intermittent cooling can have several causes, including refrigerant loss, compressor operation, electrical controls or cooling fan problems. Testing is needed to identify the cause.
Can you check my aircon if it has completely stopped working?
Yes. We can inspect and test the system to help determine whether the problem is refrigerant-related, mechanical, electrical or caused by another component.
Should I get a regas if my aircon suddenly stops cooling?
Not necessarily. A regas may be appropriate if the system has lost refrigerant, but a leak or component fault may be responsible. We recommend diagnosing the system first.

Yes. We can investigate refrigerant loss and use appropriate leak detection methods to help identify the source of the leak.
Can you provide a mobile service at my workplace?
