Air‑Conditioning Service & Regas
MobileMotive holds an ARCtick Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (Licence AU068264). Our licensed technicians perform comprehensive inspections before recharging your car’s air‑conditioning system. We leak‑test components, inspect belts, hoses, valves and thermostats, and repair any faults before adding refrigerant. This ensures your system runs efficiently and helps protect the environment.
Under Australian law it is illegal to ‘top up’ an air‑conditioning system without first repairing leaks. Regassing a leaking system wastes money and releases potent greenhouse gases. Federal regulations require mechanics to hold an ARCtick licence and repair leaks before recharging. That’s why MobileMotive will only regas after diagnosing and fixing the problem.
Our air‑conditioning service & regas starts from $200 and includes leak detection, servicing of valves and seals, evacuation and recharge with the correct refrigerant, and ultraviolet dye for future leak detection. We always provide a full report and only use high‑quality refrigerants and oils.
Book with confidence: our ARCtick‑licensed mobile mechanic comes to you, ensuring your vehicle’s air‑conditioning is serviced legally and safely.
