If it needs re-gassing you've most likely got a leak.

I got some work done the other day at SLC and I asked about this.

Your looking at $140 for a gas and dye. Then there are about 3 typical areas where they can leak from. From there the cost can vary. e.g. $200 for new front hoses (each? - can't remember) to something like $700 for rebuilt air compressor, then if multiple leaks from hoses and compressor and condensor $$$, plus re-gassing etc.

BTW: These numbers are from my leaky memory, so best to call yourself, but that was the basic breakdown of work I got.

Good day.

I agree with Michael, but that being said a quick gas will get you through summer..

I just had my Falcon gased today from
http://www.mideastradiators.com/ They are on rooks road nunawadding. Nice friendly blokes.


1)Cost me $135 for Gas and Dye (would be the same for soarer)

2) $200ish for new front hoses (if needed wasn't)

3) $1000 rebuild for a falcon. I'd guess a Soarer would be closer to $1500

I replaced the a/c compressor with a new unit and upgraded to the new R134a gas at S&LC about three years ago!

Cost me $1100 all up!

Yep Daniel, I got told $1100 for a new compressor ($700 for rebuild). Don't think that $1100 included fitting or gas, I will be double checking that when I start looking at getting aircon done. I got these numbers on Wed.

It was $400 for a new condensor.
