How does a car AC gas refill work?
Quick answer
The system's refrigerant type and charge level are checked first, because topping up a leaking system wastes money. If the system holds gas, the correct refrigerant is added to the specified weight, and vent temperature is measured to confirm the result.
The refill price depends on the refrigerant your car uses (R134a or R1234yf), the charge weight and whether a leak repair is needed first — which is why it is quoted per model after inspection rather than as a flat rate. You approve the quote in writing before any work starts.
