My recently acquired BMW E36 needs an aircon re gas as the system is not blowing cold. I've decided that after running my previous car for 3 years and never quite being bothered enough to get the a/c re gassed, I will treat the BMW to one!

Can someone recommend somewhere that will be able to do the job (and also initially check for any leaks in the system etc) around the Bristol area - also, how much is a re gas likely to cost?

Cheers in advance.

For a really thorough system check my family use George:

Someone else on here used a KwikFit or some such recently with considerable success I seem to recall. I like George though, he's proper thorough and helped fix a very poorly air-con system on my E34.

I'd go to Kwik Fit to be honest, think they are about 40 quid and it's no win, no fee, so if they identify a fault take it to the "proper" place hehe
