Is there likely to be anywhere in Berkshire that I can get this done more cheaply than at Lancaster Pangbourne? They quoted £99 today. As the aircon works, (albeit not quite as cold as it used to be), and the car is for sale, I'll leave it rather than pay that.

TK there is a place in Hampshire that charge between £40 and £80 depending on what needs fixing.. I'll just have to dig out the information..

Cheers. It's near enough to me.

The AA service centre by me charges £75 apparently, and the web site is promoting 20% off the final bill on the first visit to them. So, unless for some strange reason that doesn't apply to aircon work, that would make it £60.

Hoorah !!

If you find one of those travelling aircon experts, they come to your house to do it. The one round here will charge a very fair call out fee plus the actual cost of the gas that he has to put in.He weighs the bottle before and after. A top up may not require that much gas.

You can get the aircon recharged at virtually any garage, shop around for a cheap quote, just got mine done at the local Vauxhall Garage for f-all as the missus works there!!

I use one in the surrey area (weybridge) called chilly *****, he usually does it for 60 nicker and travels to you within a reasonable distance, email me as per profile if you want his number, he even does the R12 replacement gas which most places will try and con you into a so called "conversion" for 250 quid.

Anyone needing an aircon job in the surrey/kent/south london area, I have the details of a mobile guy that does recharges, full system reclaims, leak detection etc.

He charges £45 to do a recharge unless it's R12 which is about 60-70. Not sure about the other bits though
