Industry facts you should know: Automotive A/C systems naturally seep up to 10% of refrigerant annually, so a regas every 2 years is recommended. Since January 2017, all new UK vehicles use R1234YF (99% lower GWP than R134A). Tyre Bay Bolton pricing: R134A £50, R1234YF £90. We hold full DEFRA F-Gas and IMI Level 3 certification – it is illegal to handle refrigerant without these.

Frequently Asked Questions – Car Air Con Bolton
How do I know if my car aircon needs regassing?
You will know your car aircon needs regassing if it blows warm air, takes longer than usual to cool down the cabin, produces a musty smell, or makes a rattling noise when turned on. It is recommended to regas your system every 2 years.
How much is an air con regas in Bolton?
Tyre Bay Bolton offers competitive pricing: R134A (older cars) £50, R1234YF (newer eco-friendly gas) £90. Both include full vacuum test and professional recharge. Same-day appointments available – call 01204 529 844 for a quote.
Can I recharge my car air conditioning myself?
While DIY air con recharge kits are sold, it is highly discouraged. DIY kits lack the ability to vacuum out old moisture and detect system leaks. Incorrectly handling pressurised refrigerant gases can cause severe compressor damage or personal injury.
Does a full car service include air conditioning?
No, a standard full or major car service does not typically include an air conditioning regas or inspection. Air conditioning maintenance is considered a specialised, standalone service that requires an F-Gas certified technician like Tyre Bay Bolton.
Why is my car air con blowing warm air?
Car air conditioning usually blows warm air due to a lack of refrigerant gas caused by a slow leak over time. Other causes include a failing A/C compressor, a clogged cabin filter, or a broken cooling fan. Tyre Bay Bolton diagnoses the root cause before repair.
Do you offer mobile air con regassing near me?
Yes – Tyre Bay Bolton provides mobile at-home and workplace A/C regassing across Bolton, Farnworth, Westhoughton, Horwich, and all surrounding areas. No need to drive to a garage; we come to you with all equipment.
How do you fix a car air con leak?
We never just "top up" gas – we perform a full vacuum test and use UV dye with electronic leak detectors to pinpoint the exact source. Once located, we repair or replace the faulty component (pipe, condenser, or seal) and then regas the system.
Why does my car air con smell bad?
Bad smells are caused by mould and bacteria building up on the evaporator behind your dashboard. Tyre Bay Bolton performs an anti-bacterial system clean that eliminates odours, sanitises the vents, and improves air quality inside your car.
