Trusted by drivers from Mile Cross and across Norwich & Norfolk. Our Ber Street garage serves the whole Norfolk area.
Drivers from Mile Cross — north of Norwich city centre — regularly visit Norwich Tyres & Auto Service on Ber Street for professional air conditioning regas. If your air con is blowing warm air, producing a musty smell, or simply not cooling as effectively as it should, we can restore it to full performance quickly and at a price that won't break the bank.
Car air conditioning systems lose refrigerant naturally over time — even a healthy system will lose around 10–15% of its refrigerant each year through normal permeation. Once levels drop below a critical threshold, the compressor can't generate enough pressure to cool the air properly. Our fully automatic regas machine recovers any existing refrigerant, tests the system under vacuum for leaks, evacuates all moisture and air, then recharges with the correct weight of fresh refrigerant — R134a for vehicles made before 2017 or R1234yf for newer models.
We add UV dye to every recharge, making future leak detection fast and accurate. The whole process typically takes 45–60 minutes, and you're welcome to wait in our customer area while we work. From Mile Cross, our Ber Street garage is accessible via the A1067, and we have parking available nearby.
Drivers from Mile Cross and across Norfolk choose us for honest advice, fair pricing and quality workmanship. We won't recommend work you don't need, and we won't cut corners on work you do. Call 07933 900901 to book.
UV dye is added to the refrigerant during the regas. If the system develops a leak, the dye escapes along with the refrigerant and deposits on the surrounding components. Under a UV lamp, the dye glows brightly, pinpointing the exact location of the leak without the need for guesswork or lengthy investigation.
Yes. The condenser sits at the front of the car (usually behind the grille) and can become partially blocked by insects, leaves and road debris. A blocked condenser reduces the system's ability to release heat, which reduces cooling performance. We'll check the condenser as part of our overall assessment.
Yes. The refrigerant carries lubricating oil throughout the system that keeps the compressor running smoothly. When refrigerant levels drop, so does the oil circulation, increasing compressor wear. Keeping the system properly charged is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect the compressor — which is one of the most expensive components to replace.
