Comfort starts with a system that works
Air conditioning checks and regas for R134a and R1234yf systems at our Peterborough garage. We investigate poor cooling and explain whether a recharge or further repair is needed.

A recharge may help restore cooling, but it is important to understand why the system is underperforming.
Peterborough MOT Station provides car air conditioning checks and recharge services for local motorists. We work with both R134a and R1234yf systems, using the appropriate equipment and procedures for the vehicle.
Low refrigerant is one possible reason for poor cooling, but leaks and component faults can also affect performance. Our service includes system checks, pressure testing, leak investigation and cabin temperature checks. We explain the findings and discuss any work needed before treating a recharge as the answer.
Discuss your vehicle’s air conditioning
A considered air conditioning service
Tell us your registration and what has changed in the cooling performance. We can confirm the refrigerant requirements and discuss the appropriate appointment.
Tell us if the air never feels cold, cools only intermittently or takes longer than usual. Unusual noises or smells are also worth mentioning, as they may require a different investigation from low refrigerant alone.
The refrigerant and fill requirements depend on the vehicle. We confirm the correct system rather than assuming the same recharge is appropriate for every make, model or year.
We discuss the system’s performance and any findings that need further attention. Where repairs or additional checks are needed, the proposed work is explained before you decide whether to proceed.
A recharge is not a repair for every fault
Repeatedly adding refrigerant without understanding a leak or other fault can leave the original problem unresolved. We will explain when a system needs repair or further investigation instead of simply recommending another regas.
Our Peterborough workshop also offers diagnostics and electrical repairs, which can be relevant when cooling problems involve controls, sensors or electrical components. The assessment determines the next step.
Tell us about any previous recharge or air conditioning repair and how long the improvement lasted.
Booking an air con appointment
Send your registration, the symptoms and your preferred dates. Mention whether the system cools at all, whether the problem is recent and whether any repairs or recharges have already been carried out.
The time required depends on the vehicle and the work identified. Allow around 30 to 45 minutes for a straightforward recharge, but diagnosis, leaks and other repairs can require more time. Confirm the arrangements when booking.

Yes. Our air conditioning service covers both R134a and R1234yf systems. Send your registration so we can confirm the requirements and discuss the appropriate work for your vehicle.
No. Low refrigerant is one possible cause, but leaks, controls or other component faults may need attention. A system check helps establish whether a recharge is appropriate.
Tell us about it when enquiring. A smell, noise and loss of cooling may have different causes; we will discuss the suitable assessment rather than assume refrigerant alone is the issue.
Let us know when it was done and how the system behaved afterwards. A short-lived improvement can be useful information when deciding which checks are needed.
