Who Fixes A Car's A/C?
When working on a car’s air conditioning it is typically a legal requirement to have a license from the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARCtick). This is particularly important for the re-gassing of the car’s A/C system, but also for working on various components of it.
Our team is fully licensed and certified to work on air conditioning units, purchase the refrigerant gas, and re-gas your components.
As a fully licensed repairer of car air conditioning systems we appear on the Look For The Tick website, which lists every authorised business. When you’re searching for someone that fixes a car’s air conditioning, the first thing you should ask about is their certification. In some cases, you may want to also check their certification number matches their entry on the Look For The Tick website as well.Â
Because our team here at Quicktech are fully licensed and authorised, we only use the best quality tools and methods for diagnosing and repairing your car’s air conditioning systems.
Frequently Asked Questions For Car Air Conditioning Systems
Your car’s A/C system should never ‘just need a re-gas’. If your car is struggling to pump out hot and cold air, there is an issue with your car’s air conditioning components.Â
Re-gassing your A/C is simply a mask of the issue which does nothing to actually prevent the A/C gas from escaping.
Not only is this bad for the environment, but it will also end up costing more money in the future. Whatever component has, or is, failing will continue to do so and it’s simply a matter of time before your A/C gives out again.
The uncomfortable truth is that your car should be inspected by a professional with the knowledge to determine, repair, and then re-gas your car’s air conditioning.
It’s relatively straightforward to know if your car’s air conditioning is failing.Â
Have you noticed a change in the performance of the A/C system?Â
Does it simply perform poorly?
Are there any weird smells or sounds that occur only when it is turned on?
If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then your car’s air conditioning is most likely failing / has failed.

The Key Components Of An Auto Air Conditioning System
The Evaporator
The evaporator is the part of the car’s A/C system which is located deep within the dashboard. It’s where the cooling actually happens.
The Compressor
The compressor circulates and pumps the refrigerant of the auto air conditioning system. It compresses the refrigerant and pumps it into the condenser.
The Condenser
It is the radiator for the car’s air conditioning system. It turns the hot gas of the A/C system back into a cooler liquid, by allowing air to cool and condense the hotter gas.
