Compare BMW 1 Series aircon regas quotes from specialist garages

Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success.

BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world.

Approximately 10% of the refrigerant gas in your aircon system leaks out yearly, so you'll eventually need to book a car aircon regas.

Aircon regassing is a quick and simple job; it shouldn't take longer than 45 minutes. Most manufacturers recommend booking an aircon recharge every two years to ensure your AC system continues to function optimally.

Aircon regas and recharge refer to the same thing: when the system's refrigerant gas is replaced. On the other hand, an aircon service is a full inspection of the system, including the pressure and temperature, which usually takes an hour or more.

For car air conditioning regassing or service, it's best to find an aircon refill specialist who can do the job correctly. Some mechanics will even carry out a mobile car air conditioning recharge near you for added convenience! That's why you should compare quotes, locations and reviews on FixMyCar.
