What we check
A regas is not always the fix.
If your car aircon is blowing warm air, losing performance quickly or making unusual sounds, the system may need more than gas. Auto Wizz checks the common causes before recommending the next step.
Possible leaks
Systems that lose cooling soon after service need leak checks.
Electrical faults
Switches, fans, relays and wiring can stop an aircon system from working.
Noises and smells
Strange sounds or stale cabin air can point to parts that need attention.
How it works
Clear checks, practical repairs.
Step 01
Tell us what the car is doing
Warm air, weak flow, intermittent cooling, unusual smell or a noisy fan all help narrow the problem.
Step 02
We inspect before recommending work
The goal is to avoid wasting money on a regas when there is a leak, electrical issue or failed part.
Step 03
You get practical next steps
We explain what needs attention and help you decide the sensible repair path.

Aircon repair detail
Regas, leak checks and fault finding in Cape Town.
A car aircon regas can help when the system is low on refrigerant, but warm air often points to a leak, pressure problem, compressor issue, fan fault or electrical failure. Auto Wizz checks the symptoms first so you do not keep paying for gas that disappears again.
When a regas makes sense
If cooling has faded over time and there are no obvious warning signs, we can assess whether regas support is the sensible next step.
When to check for leaks
If the aircon goes warm soon after service, loses cooling quickly, or keeps needing gas, the system should be checked for leaks before more work is approved.
When it may be electrical
Blower fan issues, intermittent cooling, compressor engagement problems, switches, relays and wiring can all stop cold air from reaching the cabin.

Car aircon questions
Common repair questions before you book.
How much does car aircon repair cost?
Cost depends on the fault. A regas assessment is different from leak repair, compressor work, fan faults or electrical diagnosis. We check the system first and explain the repair path before work goes ahead.
Can I recharge the aircon myself?
DIY recharge kits can mask the real fault and may waste money if the system has a leak or electrical problem. Warm air should be checked before more gas is added.
How often should it be serviced?
Book a check when cooling becomes weak, smells appear, noises start, or the system loses cooling after a regas. Many drivers include an aircon check with regular servicing before hot weather.
Is an old car aircon worth repairing?
It can be worth it when the fault is small and the car is still useful. Major compressor or leak repairs should be weighed against the vehicle value and how long you plan to keep it.
What refrigerant does my car use?
It depends on the vehicle make, model and year. Many vehicles use R134a, while newer vehicles may use R1234yf. Check the engine-bay label or ask the workshop to confirm.
How long does repair take?
Basic inspection is usually quicker than leak repair, compressor work or electrical fault tracing. Call with your symptoms and vehicle details so we can advise on booking time.
What if the aircon is blowing warm air?
Do not keep regassing blindly. Warm air can come from low gas, leaks, compressor problems, fan faults, pressure issues or electrical faults. Book an inspection so the cause can be checked before repairs are recommended.
