Wouldn't trust a decent car to these guys. Fine for a simple job but you need to know what you're doing with a/c or you can just screw it up.

In modern cars ( about the mid 90s on) they use a different version refrigerant, R134a, which isn't ozone depleting apparently. So our isn't harmful in that way. I'm sure the noxious emissions coming out of vw diesels is a bigger problem...

And herein lies the problem with using "apparently" as a source of information . its seldom reliable or accurate and leaves those using it as a source looking daft .

For those with a VW the £20 summer check includes this, a quick inspection and a wash and vacuum!
I had a/c regassed a week ago at Halfords....it stopped blowing cold after a couple of days...took it back and they now say i need a new condenser at 250£....i would of thought they would of found if it leaked before regassing...i wouldnt touch these again..total novices

Yes its a easy job, but you need to check the pressure first as if you get no reading at all, you likely have a bigger problem and no point topping up as could just leak out.

Possibly a better deal?
