Aircon repair costs depend on the vehicle and the cause of the problem. To help us respond to your enquiry, include:
Your vehicle’s make, model and year.
What happens when you switch the aircon on.
Whether the problem is constant or comes and goes.
Any recent regassing or aircon repairs.
For faults that need testing, an inspection may be required before we can provide an accurate repair quote.
Aircon blowing warm air? Let’s find out why.
You switch on your car’s aircon, turn the temperature down and wait—but the cabin never cools. Perhaps it works while you’re driving but blows warm air in traffic. Or you’ve already had a regas, only for the cooling to fade again.
At B&R Auto Joburg in Northriding, we help identify what’s affecting your car’s aircon and repair the cause of the problem. From poor cooling to unusual noises and airflow problems, we start by understanding the symptoms so we can recommend the appropriate work.
Tell us what your aircon is doing, and let’s help you get comfortable behind the wheel again.
Does any of this sound familiar?
My aircon is running, but the air isn’t cold.
If air comes through the vents but stays warm, low refrigerant is one possible cause. A leak, compressor fault or another system problem could also affect cooling.
B&R can assess the system to determine whether it needs a regas or further repairs. Finding the cause first helps avoid paying for a recharge that doesn’t solve the problem.
It cools while I’m driving, but gets warm in traffic.
An aircon that struggles when the vehicle is stationary may have a problem with condenser airflow, cooling fans or another part of the system.
Tell us when the cooling changes. These details help us investigate the fault under the conditions in which you experience it.
I had it regassed, but it’s already warm again.
Refrigerant circulates in a sealed system. If the cooling fades after a regas, the system may be losing refrigerant through a leak.
Simply topping it up again may provide only temporary relief. We can investigate refrigerant loss and advise on the repairs needed before recharging the system.
There’s hardly any air coming through the vents.
If the fan sounds like it’s working but airflow is weak, the problem may involve a restricted cabin filter, the blower or the ventilation controls.
B&R can investigate the airflow problem and recommend the appropriate repair or maintenance. A regas alone won’t resolve restricted airflow.
There’s an unusual noise when I switch the aircon on.
Rattling, squealing or grinding when the aircon engages deserves attention. The noise may involve the compressor, its drive components or the blower motor.
Book an inspection and let us know when you hear it—when switching the aircon on, changing fan speeds or driving.
The aircon smells unpleasant.
A musty smell can be associated with contamination around the evaporator, a dirty cabin filter or a drainage problem.
We can assess the likely source and advise on suitable cleaning, maintenance or repairs.

How B & R Auto helps resolve your aircon problem
We start with what you’ve noticed
Does it cool intermittently? Is one side warmer than the other? Did the problem start suddenly or gradually?
Your description helps guide the inspection. We assess the relevant parts of the aircon and ventilation system to identify what needs attention.
We explain what needs doing
Depending on the findings, the next step may involve a regas, leak repairs, attention to an aircon component or resolving an airflow or control fault.
We explain the findings and recommended work so you can make an informed decision about the repair.
We check the result
After the agreed work, we check the system’s operation and cooling performance to assess whether the reported problem has been resolved.
Does your car need a regas or an aircon repair?
A regas restores the correct refrigerant charge. It does not repair a leak or fix a faulty component.
That’s why “the aircon isn’t cold” is a starting point for diagnosis rather than proof that the system only needs gas.
At B&R Auto Joburg, the aim is to recommend work that addresses your vehicle’s symptoms. If an inspection identifies a fault, we can explain what needs repairing and provide a quote.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Will a regas make my aircon cold again?
It can if an incorrect refrigerant charge is causing the poor cooling and the system is otherwise functioning correctly. If there is a leak or another fault, that issue needs attention too.
Why is one side of my car colder than the other?
Uneven temperatures can have several causes, including a refrigerant charge issue or a fault in the climate-control system. Tell us which vents are affected so we can investigate.
Can you help if I don’t know what’s wrong?
Yes. Describe what you notice—warm air, weak airflow, a noise, a smell or cooling that comes and goes. B&R can inspect the vehicle and advise on the next step.
