"Manuel Ruiz e hios" (Motor mechanics and tyres) on the right hand side as you enter Los Montesinos coming from CV-95. Very efficient and friendly

Generally A/C's should only need regassing if they have been worked on or if they have a leak so have it checked for leaks beforehand or you might find it needs doing again in the not too distant future.

The same goes for the A/C in your car.

Most aircons lose ther ga sif not used or serviced for years, thers no such thing as a long term perfect seal. Ive had a couple of cars 15+ years old, have lost freon over the period, just rgeassing fired them up again.

Lack of use causes the compressor seals to dry out so while in a hot climate like Spain's it's not too much of a problem but in UK where the number days per year when you really need an AC in a car be counted on your own fingers and toes (if you're lucky) leakage due to seal failure is a far bigger and more common failure.

Wherever you are running the AC at full pelt for a few minutes once a month can extend a compressors life almost indefinitely.
