Frequently asked questions

An air con recharge refers to the process where the refrigerant is added to the car’s cooling system so that it can continue to blow cold air effectively.

When recharging a car’s air conditioning system, you need to be prepared with a compatible refrigerant gas. The refrigerant then needs to be measured using a digital gauge to check the diagnostics, this will let you know if there’s anything you need to be aware of such as leaks, and whether the pressure is low, good or over the recommended level. If the pressure is low, the system will be recharged.

If you’ve noticed that your air con isn’t working as it should, it’s a sign telling you that you need an air conditioning recharge. But don’t worry, we have you covered, we offer air conditioning services and can take care of everything and give it a good, thorough clean too.

Vanessa Wildman - April 15, 2025

"Stupidly let my car go for a service with another company (long and expensive story). Someone recommended Pitstop as I needed a new wet belt fitting. I can't fault these guys, they went over and above to assist me and get the job done yesterday. I'm really happy with the service they provided and have booked my MOT for June. I would 100% recommend. I'm cooking on gas again! Thank you so much guys! ❤️😁"
