Air Con Service & Regas

If your car's air conditioning is blowing warm air during a hot Melbourne summer, it is usually due to a low refrigerant gas level caused by a micro-leak. It could also point to a failing A/C compressor, a blown fuse, or a faulty condenser fan. Bring it to JustFix Automotive in Sunshine North, and our ARC-licensed mechanics will diagnose the exact root cause.

We highly recommend a complete auto air conditioning service every 1 to 2 years for drivers in Melbourne's West. Car A/C systems naturally lose up to 10% of their refrigerant gas annually through micro-pores in the rubber hoses. Regular servicing ensures ice-cold air and prevents expensive compressor failures.

At JustFix Automotive (ARC Licence AU066912), a professional A/C regas includes recovering any remaining old gas, vacuum-testing the system to remove moisture, performing a strict leak test, and recharging the system with the exact factory-specified weight of fresh refrigerant and premium compressor oil.

No, a standard ragas will not fix a musty or damp smell. Unpleasant odours are typically caused by bacteria and mould build-up on your A/C evaporator behind the dashboard or a heavily clogged cabin air filter. We offer specialized cabin filter replacements and professional antibacterial A/C cleaning to restore fresh, healthy airflow.

Absolutely. By Australian law, it is illegal for a mechanic to simply "top up" a leaking air conditioning system. Our Sunshine North workshop uses advanced UV tracer dyes and highly sensitive electronic sniffers to accurately pinpoint even the smallest leaks in your hoses, condenser, or O-rings before we perform a ragas.

If your A/C only blows cold when you are driving at highway speeds but gets warm when you are stuck in stop-start traffic on the Western Ring Road, it often indicates a failing condenser cooling fan or restricted airflow over the condenser unit. It can also be an early warning sign of low refrigerant levels.

Yes! The refrigerant gas doesn't just cool the air; it also circulates the essential lubricating oil throughout the entire system. Running your A/C with low gas starves the compressor of oil, which can lead to catastrophic internal failure and thousands of dollars in auto electrical and mechanical repairs.
