Measure
Record cooling behaviour at idle and speed, ambient conditions and any previous A/C service.
Cold air, correctly diagnosed

Low refrigerant is a condition. The leak is the cause.
A/C performance depends on charge, pressures, airflow, sensors and compressor control. We test the system and identify why cooling changed.
Warm vent air or weak airflow can result from several different faults. Temperatures, airflow, refrigerant-system pressures and electrical controls help distinguish a leak from a control or ventilation issue.
Related repair advice: Weak airflow from the vents
When to have it checked
- Vent temperature is too warm
- Cooling changes with road speed
- The compressor cycles abnormally
- A/C operation creates noise or odour
What we can inspect
- Temperature and pressure testing
- Leak detection and dye inspection
- Electrical and compressor-control diagnosis
- Evacuation and correct recharge
Technical brief / Car Air Conditioning Repair
Test A/C performance before recommending refrigerant service.
Leak-test
Check airflow and controls, then test refrigerant-side operation and leakage when indicated.
Verify
Confirm vent performance and correct system operation under the conditions that originally produced the complaint.
Evidence before authorization
You see the reason behind the recommendation.
Digital inspection findings can include photos, video, measurements and technician notes. Immediate concerns are separated from maintenance that can be planned.
Good questions deserve clear answers.
Can you just add refrigerant?
A low system has lost refrigerant. Finding the cause and charging by specified weight provides a defensible repair.
Why is it cold driving but warm at idle?
Condenser airflow, fan operation, charge and compressor performance are common areas to test.
Will I receive a price before the repair begins?
Yes. Findings, priorities and the proposed work are reviewed before additional work is authorized.
What warranty does Albion Auto provide?
Albion Auto provides a minimum one-year or 20,000-kilometre parts warranty. Ask the team about coverage for the specific repair.
