Car Air Con Repair Poole

Poole Car Air Con Repair & Re-Gas

Your car’s air conditioning does far more than keep the cabin cool in summer. A healthy A/C system helps filter pollutants, reduce humidity inside the vehicle, demist windows more effectively, and improve overall air quality while you drive.
But like any other component, it needs regular attention to stay at its best.

At Elite Garages Poole, we offer professional air con servicing, leak detection, repairs and re-gassing using the latest equipment to help keep your vehicle comfortable all year round.

Why Regular Air Con Servicing Matters

An air conditioning service is not included in standard car servicing schedules, which means many drivers go years without checking their A/C system. Over time, refrigerant naturally reduces, components dry out, and the system has to work harder; eventually leading to warm air, bad smells, or complete failure.

Even if you only use your A/C occasionally, it’s recommended to:

• run your air con weekly to keep seals lubricated
• service or re-gas it every 2 years
• book a check sooner if cooling performance drops

A properly functioning air con system can also improve fuel efficiency and reduce strain on other components.

How Long Does an Air Con Repair or Recharge Take?

A standard air con recharge usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the system and whether a leak is detected.
The process includes:

• a full A/C performance test
• leak checks
• removal of old refrigerant
• system vacuum and moisture removal
• refill with correct refrigerant
• final performance check

If we find any leaks, failing components, or damage, we’ll explain the issue clearly and provide a no-obligation quote before carrying out any work. We can also offer an optional anti-bacterial cabin sanitiser treatment, ideal for removing unpleasant odours and keeping your air clean.
