The gippsland auto a/c differnce.

Expert Diagnostics. Proven Process. Reliable Results.

Backed by years of hands-on experience as a Master Technician and continued professional education, we bring a deep understanding of complex systems and a commitment to getting it right the first time. Our diagnostic and repair service is built around a proven methodology — the 4Cs Process: Condition, Cause, Correction, Confirm.

We start by replicating the reported fault (Condition), then conduct a thorough investigation to identify the root Cause. Once the issue is fully understood, we perform the necessary Correction using industry best practices. Finally, we Confirm that the fault has been fully resolved, ensuring long-term reliability and peace of mind.

With our expertise and systematic approach, we deliver clear answers and lasting solutions — not guesswork.

Not Just a Regas — A Complete, High-Quality A/C Service

At Gippsland Auto A/C, we take air conditioning seriously — for those who like to nerd out, here’s how we do it right. We don’t just hook up an automated machine and hit go. We take the time to properly diagnose, test, and service your vehicle’s A/C system using a precise, hands-on approach and top-tier diagnostic tools.

Here’s our process:

• System Check Under Operation – First, we test your A/C while it’s running to assess performance before doing anything else.
   
• Gas Recovery & Weight Check – We recover and accurately weigh the refrigerant to verify correct charge levels and check for signs of loss.
   
• Nitrogen Leak Test – The system is pressure-tested with nitrogen to uncover any hidden leaks or faults.
   
• Service Port Valve Replacement – We replace the service port valves on every system, as these are a common source of slow leaks when recharged.
   
• Micron Vacuum Test – We pull a deep vacuum using a micron gauge to ensure there’s no moisture or leaks — confirming system integrity definitively.
   
• Correct Oil Only – We add the exact type and amount of manufacturer-specified oil, critical for compressor health.
   
• No Dye Unless Necessary – We avoid charging systems with UV dye unless absolutely required — dye can cause future issues and complications.
   
• Virgin Refrigerant Only – We only use new, virgin refrigerant. No recycled gas — it’s often contaminated and unreliable.
   

This thorough, step-by-step process ensures a long-lasting, high-quality repair. Don’t waste time and money on repeated recharges that don’t fix the real issue. We’ll find the fault first time and fix it right.
