Air Con Re-Gas Ilford (R134a & R1234yf)
Cold air, low running costs, and leak-safe charging
UK Motor Centre Ltd services automotive A/C systems across Ilford and nearby areas. We handle both R134a (typically pre-2017) and R1234yf (most 2017-on) with F-Gas compliant equipment and process. Expect proper vacuum & moisture removal, leak checks, correct oil & refrigerant fill, and a performance test. If your cabin isn’t cooling or the screen fogs, book a re-gas and we’ll sort it.
