Aircon regas

Post by rossybee » Wed May 30, 2012 10:51 am

Looking to get it done when next home... after sweating my nuts off on the Edinburgh bypass in traffic queues last weekend :shock:

Any recommendations, preferably within the vicinity of the lovely Dundee?

:cheers

I had a car done by a mobile guy in Glasgow last year- was fairly cheap and did a great job. I'll find out if he'll cover Dundee. :thumbsup

Just had the Boxster done with the recent heatwave etc

Try and get a machine that oils the system as well as replaces the gas

Some of the cheaper machines just sook it out.........and blow it in

Icy cold now

KF are a last resort - as I had a preferably unrepeated business dealing with the "manager" of KF on Perth Road in Dundee - he was no more than a jumped up tw@t - thank fook it's currently getting knocked down :blackeye

Was it an independent or franchise?

I see ATS Euromaster do it (inc lubricant) for £45 - cheaper than Kwik Sh1t :D

The garage at the end of the road from Agra did mine, I'd use them again if I had too - although I can't remember what they're called at the mo. Avoid Kwik Fit (on the Perth Road) as they made a complete hash of it when I went there a couple of years ago...

Knocked down you say, haven't been on the Perth Road for ages, must take a look...

You mean Lawton Motors down the road from Agra?

They're now a Halfords Autocentre - http://www.halfordsautocentres.com/en-g ... es/Dundee/

Very handy as it's just down the road from me cheers :thumbsup


Kwik Fit Perth Rd will undoubtedly become stoodent flats seeing as all round that area has changed lately :roll:
