If your car’s air conditioning is no longer blowing cold, is making unusual noises or simply hasn’t been serviced in years, Brumby Motors provides complete air conditioning diagnostics, regas and repair services for all makes and models.
We hold Refrigerant Trading Authorisation AU25564, allowing us to handle and recover automotive refrigerant to Australian standards.
COOLING PERFORMANCE, CHECKED PROPERLY
WHAT IS AN AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE?
An air conditioning service checks refrigerant level, system pressure, cooling performance and key components such as the compressor, condenser and evaporator.
At Brumby Motors, we inspect for leaks before regassing and use the correct refrigerant specification for your vehicle.

KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
COMMON AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEMS WE FIX
Poor cooling, weak airflow, strange smells or unusual noises can all point to an air conditioning fault. Getting the system checked early can help prevent bigger repairs and keep your cabin comfortable year-round.
Not Blowing Cold
Low refrigerant, a compressor fault or a leak may be the cause.
Weak Airflow
A blocked cabin filter or blower motor fault can reduce airflow.
Unpleasant Smell
Bacterial growth in the evaporator can cause odours from the vents.
Intermittent Cooling
Pressure issues, electrical faults or compressor clutch problems may be responsible.
Noisy Air Conditioning
Compressor bearings, belts or mounts can create unusual sounds.
Overdue Service
Older systems may simply need inspection, servicing and regassing.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
REGAS OR REPAIR
WHAT DOES YOUR CAR NEED?
A regas can restore cooling performance if the system is simply low on refrigerant and still holds pressure.
If there is a leak, however, a regas is only a temporary solution. The refrigerant will escape again over time.
We check for leaks before regassing and explain any repair options and costs before proceeding.
Leak check first
No temporary fixes where a repair is needed

CORRECT REFRIGERANT FOR YOUR VEHICLE
AIR CONDITIONING FOR EUROPEAN AND ASIAN CARS
Different vehicles use different refrigerant types and system configurations. We identify the correct refrigerant for your vehicle before servicing the system.
Our team services air conditioning systems across a wide range of European and Asian vehicles.
Most older vehicles use R134a refrigerant, while many newer vehicles use R1234yf.
Before servicing your air conditioning system, we identify the correct refrigerant type and service the system accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Air Conditioning Artarmon
Clear answers about servicing, regassing and repairing your car’s air conditioning.
How often should car air conditioning be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend an air conditioning service around every two years. Even when the system appears to be working correctly, refrigerant can gradually escape and the system benefits from regular inspection.
My air con worked last summer — why isn’t it working now?
Refrigerant may have escaped through a small leak, particularly when the system has not been used frequently. A regas and leak check can help identify the cause. In some cases, a compressor or condenser may also be faulty.
Is it worth fixing an older car’s air conditioning?
Often yes. A regas or minor repair may restore comfortable cooling without major expense. We inspect the system and explain the likely repair cost so you can decide whether it is worthwhile.
What type of refrigerant does my car use?
Most vehicles built before 2017 use R134a, while many newer vehicles use R1234yf. We identify the correct refrigerant before servicing.
Do you hold the correct authorisation to handle refrigerant?
