No. It is illegal, unsafe, and will damage your compressor. Vehicles designed for 1234yf have specific compressor oils, seals, and pressure switches engineered strictly for that gas. Introducing the older R134a refrigerant will cross-contaminate the system, void your manufacturer warranty, and likely result in a catastrophic compressor failure. We utilize specific, uncontaminated gauges for each gas type to ensure your system remains pure.

The manufacturing process for HFO-1234yf is vastly more complex, making the raw cost of the gas significantly higher than the old R134a. Additionally, servicing a 1234yf system requires advanced, computerized recovery machines that ensure zero cross contamination. When we quote a 1234yf service, it includes the use of this specialized mobile equipment and exact digital scaling to meet your car’s factory specifications.

The quickest way to check is to pop your hood. Look at the radiator support panel or the underside of the hood for a manufacturer sticker. It will clearly state either R134a or HFO-1234yf (or sometimes R1234yf). Alternatively, look at the service ports on your AC lines—1234yf ports are distinctly larger and feature a different quick-connect fitting. If you are unsure, simply text us your vehicle’s make, model, and year, and we can verify it instantly.

Not at all. Dealerships often require you to leave your car for the entire day. We bring the exact same OEM-level 1234yf diagnostic and regassing equipment directly to you anywhere across the Brisbane Bayside and Redland City suburbs. You get dealership-level technology with the convenience of a mobile service.
