I’ve just had my AC compressor rebuilt and installed a new receiver dryer. I wanted to have my system flushed and I wondered if somewhere like ATS or Kwik Fit have the capacity to flush the system before recharging it? Or is this beyond their capabilities?

Any advice very welcome

I would expect anyone who serviced aircon systems to be able to do that. I'd prefer to go to a specialist rather than a budget servicing franchise, though.

Just had it done without issue. The local tyre place has a manager who is a petrolhead, so he seems to be quite happy to work on a Ferrari.

He flushed and vacuumed out the system and refilled the oil/gas. Everything is working fine and I've saved a ton on money by removing and fitting the compressor and dryer/receiver myself.
