How much does an air-con recharge cost in Almere?
At AutoJet an air-con service, including a refrigerant recharge, costs from €100 for R134a (cars up to about 2017) and from €130 for R1234yf (newer cars). The difference is the refrigerant itself: R1234yf is considerably more expensive to buy. We see which type your car uses straight from the licence plate — you don’t have to find out yourself.
When should I have my air-con recharged?
If your air-con blows less cold or the car takes longer to cool down, a recharge is usually due. Refrigerant leaks away gradually, even without a visible leak — so a periodic check makes sense, even without complaints.
What are the signs of an empty air-con?
Watch out for less cold air, an odd noise from the compressor when you switch it on, or a damp smell. If you notice any of these, we check the air-con during a service. More in our guide when to recharge your air-con.
Which refrigerant does my car use?
Roughly: cars built up to about 2017 run on the older R134a (service from €100), newer cars on R1234yf (from €130). It is on a sticker under the bonnet, but easier: send us your licence plate on WhatsApp — we see the type straight away and give you the right price.
What does the air-con service include?
More than just “topping up the gas”: the old refrigerant is extracted, the system is put under vacuum and checked for leaks, and then it is refilled exactly by weight, with fresh compressor oil. That way you also know whether the system is tight. Important to know: a recharge doesn’t fix a leak — if your air-con quickly loses its cooling again, the leak has to be found first. We see that during the service and you hear it honestly, before any extra costs are made.

All prices are “from”. You hear the exact price for your car upfront, by licence plate.

Why is R1234yf more expensive than R134a?
