Air Conditioning you can trust
Car air conditioning slowly loses gas over time, so even a healthy system needs a re-gas every couple of years. If your air con is blowing warm, smells musty or is slow to cool, we will find out why.
We test the whole system, fix leaks properly rather than just topping up gas, and get your cabin cold again. It also keeps your windows clear and demisted through winter.
What is included
- Air conditioning re-gas and performance test
- Leak detection and repair
- Compressor, condenser and hose repairs
- Cabin pollen filter replacement
- Odour treatment for musty smells
- Licensed handling of refrigerant (AU10851)

Our Story
Modern automotive expertise, old-school service
Established in 1989 by Col Harrison, our workshop has looked after West Ryde families and businesses for more than 35 years, built on honest advice, quality workmanship and genuine care.
In 2025 the business entered a new chapter under owner Josh Hallinan, who grew Col’s Body Shop from a small local repairer into one of Sydney’s leading collision businesses. That same focus on systems, customer experience and doing the right thing now drives Col Harrison Automotive.
We do not see ourselves as just mechanics. We are trusted advisors. If a repair can wait, we will tell you. If something does not need doing, we will say so.

FAQ
Air Conditioning, answered honestly
Most systems benefit from a re-gas every two years or so, as they naturally lose a little gas over time. If yours is slow to cool, it is worth a check.
Usually low refrigerant from a small leak, but it can also be a faulty compressor or an electrical fault. We test the system to find the real cause rather than just topping it up.
Yes. We hold air conditioning licence AU10851, which covers the licensed handling of the refrigerant gases required for car air conditioning work.
That smell is usually mould and bacteria building up in the system and cabin filter. We can treat the system and replace the filter to clear it and keep the air fresh.
A standard re-gas and performance test usually takes around an hour. If we find a leak, we will explain the repair and cost before doing any further work.
