Signs Your Car Needs This Service
If your vehicle exhibits any of these symptoms in Gampaha traffic, driving without an inspection risks escalating costly compressor damage:
- ✕A/C blowing warm or room-temperature air even when set to maximum cold
- ✕Cooling works on highway speeds but turns warm in Gampaha town traffic
- ✕Unusual grinding, clicking, or squeaking noises when the A/C button is pressed
- ✕Gas was refilled recently but the system stopped cooling again within weeks
- ✕Weak or restricted airflow from dashboard vents despite fan speed on high
- ✕Musty, damp, or chemical odor blowing into the passenger cabin
What Our Inspection Includes
Every vehicle undergoes a disciplined, rigorous multi-point climate audit using genuine equipment:
- Dual-gauge manifold pressure test (High side & Low side analysis)
- Digital probe vent output temperature calibration (Target 4.5°C – 7.5°C)
- Dry nitrogen pressure test to verify sealed loop integrity
- Magnetic clutch air gap and coil electrical resistance check
- Cabin pollen micro-filter inspection and airflow velocity audit
- Transparent diagnosis and honest written estimate before repair work starts
Our 5-Step Precision Engineering Process
We treat automotive climate control as an exact thermal science. Here is how we ensure your repair lasts:
1. Structured Intake & Pressure Scan
We hook professional dual-manifold gauges to your vehicle high and low service ports to observe static and operating pressures.
2. Component Failure Isolation
We check compressor displacement, condenser heat rejection, expansion valve throttling, and electrical control signals to locate the root fault.
3. Transparent Customer Consultation
We explain the exact cause to you in plain language. If a repair or seal replacement solves the issue, we never push costly new assemblies.
4. Precision Repair & Vacuum Dehydration
After mechanical repair, the system is evacuated under deep vacuum (29.9 inHg) for at least 25 minutes to boil off moisture acids.
5. Calibrated Recharge & Cooling Proof
We recharge exact OEM-specified virgin refrigerant and fresh synthetic PAG oil, testing vent output temperatures under full load.

Car AC Gas Refilling & Recharge
A car air conditioning system is a hermetically sealed pressurized loop. Refrigerant does not "burn away" or get consumed like engine oil or petrol. If your vehicle has lost refrigerant, refilling gas without vacuuming and leak-checking is only a temporary and costly band-aid. At Janaka Auto AC in Gampaha, we follow international automotive HVAC standards: full recovery, deep vacuum dehydration, dry nitrogen integrity check, and precision digital scale recharge using pure virgin R134a or R1234yf refrigerant with fresh synthetic PAG compressor oil.
Car AC Compressor Repair & Rebuilding
The AC compressor is the mechanical heart of your car’s climate control, pumping high-pressure vapor through the condenser. Many generic workshops immediately advise vehicle owners to replace the entire compressor assembly as soon as any noise or cooling drop appears—costing upwards of Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 250,000. At Janaka Auto AC, we believe in component-level craftsmanship. In many cases, the fault is an exhausted magnetic clutch coil, a worn pulley bearing, a dried front shaft seal, or internal control valve sticking. We rebuild and service compressors to OEM tolerances, saving you substantial money while restoring factory cooling performance.
Car AC Leak Detection & Nitrogen Pressure Testing
If your car’s air conditioner blows cold for only a week or two after being gassed, your system has an active refrigerant leak. Because automotive refrigerant is colorless and evaporates into the air instantaneously, finding microscopic leaks in a complex engine bay or behind the dashboard requires specialized instruments. At Janaka Auto AC in Gampaha, we never guess. We utilize dry high-purity nitrogen holding tests pressurized up to 280 PSI, combined with ultrasonic and electronic halogen sniffers capable of detecting leaks as small as 3 grams per year.
