Re: service and MOT
Fender You have been mislead or quoted wrongly or a little out of date with the latest
I did say Halfords and many others
DO NOT DO IT for R1234yf (HFO-1234yf) Gas . I think you will find not many places do infact hardly any do due to equipment costs
If I were you I would go back and ask how much they charge for a gas drain down and refill with the R1234YF type gas, not how much they sell it for.
R134a will ruin my aircon system which you are talking about. That is for cars pre 2011 any built after that have the new gas or should have.

Air Conditioning Gas Changes

Share this:
As of 2017, a new type of air conditioning gas is required by law for all new vehicles.
The gas, called
HFO-1234yf, replaces previous refrigerants, as it produces 98% fewer climate-damaging pollutants than its predecessor, R134a.
Regrettably, Halfords Autocentres does not stock the new gas, and therefore is unable to re-gas vehicles that require it.
Some manufacturers made the switch a few years ago, and already require the latest gas when serviced. Below is a full list of makes and models (manufactured from 2013 onwards) not suitable for the Air Con Service at Halfords Autocentres:
