Default Hottest days of the year and now no AIRCON.

YEP! Typical, air con fine each time tested, now here we are sweltering and aircon has given up the ghost. Assume it requires a regas????
Any thoughts on average cost, plus any PLYMOUTH CONTACTS.

Thanks for any advice in advance

cost about £60 - £80 the last time I had it done. Alas with the age of our cars the condenser radiator may be leaking. Hopefully the engineer can test for leaks at the same time.

I appreciate your comments regarding our chosen daily ride, but I will only give it up when forced to!!!
Funnily enough it applies to us as well, as the years pile up all kinds of things start to leak!!!!!!
As for pricing your about spot on, as Kwickfit are doing an aircon campaign at the moment with a full advertised aircon service at £59.....luckily our cars use the cheaper gas!!!Had it been the other gas in use at the moment the price goes up to a whopping £239!!!
All the gas details are given on their booking site.
