Car Aircon service perth

High-quality Car aircon service for just $199

What Does a Car A/C Service Include?

Our comprehensive car A/C service takes 60–90 minutes and covers every step that keeps your system reliable:

  • Refrigerant purity testing – using a gas analyser (most workshops don’t even own one).
  • Full component inspection – hoses, mounts, belts, compressor, clutch and controls.
  • Vacuum process – a minimum of 45 minutes to remove all moisture, preventing acid and rust.
  • New refrigerant only – added by weight to manufacturer specs, never recycled gas.
  • Temperature testing – before and after checks to prove cooling performance.

 

These are the steps that make the difference between lasting cold air and an early compressor failure.

Huge thanks to Dion for helping me out with a seatbelt sensor gremlin in our 2017 wrx, was very helpful explaining everything to me, time efficient and didn't break the bank. i will definitely be coming back for all my auto electrical needs.
If you are looking for a quality service and product I would highly recommend using Voltaic !! For service, efficiency, industry & product knowledge the team down at Voltaic are second to none!! I have to do a special thank you to Tara for sourcing product information and getting the quotes to me in record speed with accuracy!! Absolutely bang on!! And a massive thank you to Max for the installation and customer service that he gave me, absolutely smashed it out of the park with such a clean fit out and took the time to run through the whole job with me and delivered it on time and nothing short of perfection!! Thanks again to the Voltaic team I will be running our whole fleet through them for sure!!
Voltaic (in conjunction with Elite Tune) completed an outstanding mine spec upgrade of my dual-cab LandCruiser. High quality work, very tidy job all round and will be using them again. Would recommend.
OMG such a professional install in a timely fashion by the nicest crew I’ve met. I had planned on doing my electrics myself but honestly so stoked with these guys that I’ll just leave it to these pros.
Went to Voltaic to have a 2-way fitted — awesome workshop and staff. I was informed there was some very dodgy wiring from the previous second-battery installation: no fuses on some circuits, spaghetti wiring to auxiliary outlets, exposed wires on joins, and a long list of other issues.

Following their excellent advice, I went ahead with the repairs, and the finished job was absolutely brilliant and professional. The team went above and beyond my expectations.

If you want a job done properly, look no further.

How Often Should a Car A/C Be Serviced?

  • Every 1–2 years – Most manufacturers recommend a full service and regas in this timeframe to maintain peak cooling and keep seals lubricated.
  • Immediately if cooling feels weak – Warm air, unusual smells, or reduced airflow mean it’s time for an inspection and possible regas.
  • Every 12 months in harsh conditions – Perth summers and dusty worksites put extra strain on your system, so yearly servicing is best.
  • At every vehicle service – Preventive A/C checks alongside routine servicing help catch leaks or wear early, protecting you from $750–$2000 compressor replacement costs.

FAQs

What is a car aircon service?

A car aircon service is a full diagnostic and maintenance process that includes testing refrigerant purity, checking for leaks, inspecting all components, vacuuming out moisture, and regassing with fresh refrigerant to manufacturer specs. It’s far more thorough than a simple “regas special.”

How long does a car aircon service take?

Yes. Just like your engine or brakes, your A/C system wears over time. Refrigerant levels drop, seals dry out, and moisture builds up, all of which affect cooling performance and can lead to costly repairs if left unchecked.

What are the benefits of regular car aircon servicing?

Regular servicing keeps your aircon blowing cold, extends the life of your compressor, prevents costly breakdowns, improves air quality inside the cabin, and ensures your refrigerant system remains ARCtick compliant.

What type of gas does my car aircon use?

Most vehicles in Australia use R134a refrigerant, but newer models may require R1234yf. Our team is equipped to service both types and ensure your system is compliant.

Why does my car aircon smell?

Unpleasant odours are usually caused by mould or bacteria buildup in the evaporator or cabin filter. A proper service cleans and dries the system, restoring fresh airflow.

Can a car aircon be retrofitted?

Yes, we can mount air conditioning units in various locations in your classic vehicle, depending on its make, model, and available engine bay space. We work with you to find the ideal solution to increase your vehicle’s comfort without compromising its iconic looks or classic status.

Can I regas my car aircon myself?

It is not recommended to regas your car air con yourself, as it requires specialised equipment and knowledge. Attempting to regas your car air con yourself can also be dangerous and may cause damage to your vehicle.
