What we do
Choose the check you need, or bring all three together in one convenient visit.
We service R134a and R1234yf air-conditioning systems, with recovery, vacuum, recharge to the vehicle’s specified amount and cooling performance checks. If your air con is blowing warm, tell us when the problem started and whether it has been recharged recently. A recharge does not repair a leak or failed component.
Understand engine management and airbag warnings with a scan of accessible onboard systems. We explain the recorded fault codes and provide a printed report to keep or share with your repairer. Coverage depends on the vehicle; a code scan helps guide further investigation and does not, by itself, confirm which part needs replacing.
Explore diagnosticsA battery health check provides results and practical advice on charging or replacement. Tell us about slow starting, recent jump-starts or a battery that keeps going flat. Testing helps assess its condition, but repeated discharge may need further investigation. This service covers the 12V battery, not an electric vehicle’s high-voltage traction battery.

Air-con recharge. Battery test. Diagnostic scan.

A family business
Licence to Chill is run by Stuart and his son Zachary. Together, they bring over 38 years of experience in the motor industry to a straightforward mobile service.
Tell us what is happening with your vehicle. We’ll explain what our checks cover, what the results mean and when further work may be needed. You get clear findings to keep, without the inconvenience of a garage drop-off.
Our air-con technician holds the IMI Level 3 Technical Specialist in Automotive Refrigerant Handling (EC842-2006) Award.

Share your registration, postcode and the service or symptoms you want us to check. Include the vehicle’s make and model and any recent repair or recharge history. A photo of a dashboard warning can help explain your enquiry.
We confirm vehicle suitability, appointment availability and the price, including any agreed travel cost. Arrange safe access and enough working space at home or work. For workplace or shared parking, check permission and tell us about access restrictions.
We complete the agreed checks, explain the printed results and discuss any recommended next steps. Keep the report for your records or show it to a garage if further investigation is needed. Any repairs or additional work are separate from the agreed package.
Before you book
We are based in Great Heck and consider visits around Selby, Goole, Doncaster, Pontefract, Castleford, Wakefield, Leeds, York and nearby areas. Send your postcode to confirm availability, a suitable working location and any travel cost.
Low refrigerant is one possible cause. Leaks, electrical faults and failed components can also cause poor cooling. A recharge needs a serviceable system and does not repair a leak.
We can reset engine management and airbag warnings where appropriate and supported. Clearing a code does not repair the fault; an active problem may prevent a reset or bring the light back.
Yes. Air-con servicing, diagnostics and battery testing are available individually. Send your registration and postcode for a quote. The £99.99 offer combines all three.
Please send the registration and model before booking so we can confirm suitability. Our battery health check covers the 12V battery, not the high-voltage traction battery.

Helpful advice
A warning light tells you that the vehicle has detected something worth investigating. The next step depends on the symbol, the message and how the car is behaving.
Read the guide Battery careA car that struggles to start does not automatically need a new battery. A battery test can help separate a low charge from a battery condition problem.
Read the guide Air conditioningPoor cooling is a good reason to have your air conditioning checked. Low refrigerant is one possibility, but a recharge is not the answer to every cooling fault.
