How do I know which air con gas I need for my vehicle?

Since 1st January 2017 new EU regulations made it a requirement for all vehicle manufacturers to change to the new type of refrigerant gas named R1234YF. Vehicles manufactured before 2014 will require the older refrigerant gas named R134A, however if its between 2014 and 2016 theres a possibility your vehicle could require either depending on the gas that the manufacturer used. If you are not sure which air-con regas you require, call and speak to one our technicians on 0161 442 0202 or call in at Tyre Station Stockport Ltd , Stockport for further assistance.

How often shall I re-gas my air-con?

Manufacturers recommend that your vehicle’s air conditioning should be recharged with gas and lubricant every 2 years to keep it running effectively and efficiently. This service isn’t usually part of your annual vehicle service so if your vehicle is over 2 years old then a recharge is probably due.

Air Con Re-Gas R1234YF at Tyre Station Stockport Ltd Stockport

I was absolutely stranded on Saturday after getting a flat tyre on the M60 and I had no spare. The guys called out to me, carried out a quick temp repair and then helped me to get to their garage while they did a permanent repair. Really nice guys and nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding service.

First time going. Booked via the AA app. Pay the initial fee and that is your deposit. Then they tell you if you need any extra work doing and how much. Very good customer service - I was even being expected. I would go here again.

Kane is a saviour! I called in to see if they could have a look at my brakes (my car had been MOT’d elsewhere 3 weeks earlier) to find out I needed pads, discs and also a caliper, nothing was too much trouble and my car was sorted in just a few hours. Thank you very much for sorting and quickly too! Happy customer indeed 👍🏼.

Found a flat tyre when we returned to our car. Called Tyre Station on Heaton Road in Stockport who were very close to us and they said they would send someone over to us. Kaine arrived a couple of minutes later with a car jack and compressor. After reinflating the tyre, we drove the car over to the Tyre Station where Kaine quickly and expertly repaired a puncture. While we waited for the tyre to be repaired we were invited to help ourselves to a hot drink. Cannot thank the lad's enough. The service was above and beyond. I will certainly be recommending to anyone in the Stockport and surrounding area. Thanks very much Kaine.

Really good, honest mechanics - took my car here after being unhappy with another garage and they sorted out all problems very quickly at a very reasonable price and car has now passed MOT. I will continue using them as my regular garage for all services, MOTs and repairs going forwards. I feel like most places are out there to rip you off at the moment but these guys will only charge you for what you actually need doing. Very pleased and highly recommend!

Just had 2 tyres fitted by Imran at First Stop Tyre and Car Services which I bought through Black Circles however Imran at First Stop pointed out that I could have purchased each tyre £20 cheaper on their website so won’t be looking at Black Circles again and going direct. Anyway tyres were fitted perfectly, alloys cleaned and tyre lock back on the car. Thanks Imran and First Stop Tyre and Car Services.

Called in this morning as air pressure in one tyre was low. As I suspected it was due to a nail in it. Imran sorted it there and then. He drove my car into the bay for me, explained the different tyre options to me and then turned my car round so I could drive straight out. He also gave me advice on tyre pressure. Brilliant. I was in there for less than 30 minutes. This is the 3rd time I've used the tyre station and they're always really good. I would thoroughly recommend them to everybody.

I am a Driving Instructor took my car for servicing on Monday 12th June . Its highly unprofessional approach. They drained the engine oil from my car to realise they don't have one to replace it.I recieved car back on Wednesday. I had to cancel my lessons for Monday to Wednesday which was a considerable financial loss to me. I don't think I will ever use then again.

Great service from these guys on Saturday! I had a bit of an emergency with a completely flat punctured tyre. Despite them clearly being very busy, it was well organised and under control. I was dealt with professionally and given options, all of which were explained to me so that I was comfortable making an informed choice without feeling fobbed off. Highly recommended and also much better pricing than the unhelpful chain garages I've dealt with in the past. Also really friendly and helpful! Thank you ☺️

Amazing service here. Had a tyre fitted by Imy and Amo today who fit me in on short notice despite being busy and it's safe to say they really know their stuff! It was only a small thing so it didn't cost much but the attention to detail was absolutely spot on. Also had my wheels aligned by Jack a few weeks ago and he did a great job. Lots of specialist equipment they don't have at my local. Great pricing, friendly staff and attention to detail. Will be coming here from now on.

Took my car in for wheel alignment I asked for the 4 wheel alignment as modern cars have rear camber and toe adjustment as the front Jack did the honours I'm a professional driver so I know my cars and handling the job done was spot on my cat drove true and straight as should be. So 5 Stars for Jack!!! Took my sister's car for the same wheel alignment about a week later hoping Jack could do his magic again but this time Jack was unavailable so the job was done by one of the Tyre guys I assumed he was trained and knowledged like Jack it was a day later driving the car again I could tell the job was not right so called to advise them I'd be back in a few days when free and available to get the problem resolved. Showed up with no appointment explained to Jack who was thankfully there what happened and requested it be sorted that day had to go away and come back later as they were busy but on returning Jack did the honours again and sorted the wheel alignment and was spot on again unfortunately the other guy would did the job first was way off track so will only have Jack do the wheel alignment from now on. Jack sorted the issue with a professional manner and restored my faith in their services would highly recommend this place just make sure you get Jack to do any wheel alignment and leave the other guys to doing Tyres. 5 Stars for Jack for a professional service.

Really good! Reluctantly tried ATS and Quick Fit first but neither were helpful and couldn't book me in for days, not helpful when you have a puncture. It's the second time that ATS have failed me. Two guys at Tyre Station were professional, friendly and quick. Nice to see a young lad getting stuck in and enthusiastic about his job! Better to support smaller local businesses than the bigger clowns who who trade on quantity rather than quality. COVID has been bad for business yes, but it's time to stop making excuses and get back to proper trading and service.
