Welcome to RG Automotive Diagnostics, a leading auto service provider in Delta, BC, for cutting-edge 1234yf refrigerant services. In the evolving world of automotive air conditioning, staying updated with the latest advancements is crucial for optimal performance and environmental compliance. That’s where 1234yf refrigerant comes into play.
Car refrigerants have undergone significant changes over the years. Initially, the R-12 refrigerant was widely used. However, it was phased out due to its high Global Warming Potential (GWP). R-134a then became the standard, offering improved environmental safety but posing certain concerns.
The latest in this evolutionary line is the 1234yf refrigerant. The major difference between R-134a and 1234yf lies in their environmental impact. R-134a has a GWP of over 1300, while 1234yf significantly lowers this figure to less than 1. This makes it a much more eco-friendly option.
The primary advantage of 1234yf refrigerant is its incredibly low Global Warming Potential (GWP). This makes it a much more environmentally friendly choice for vehicle air conditioning systems. By using 1234yf, we contribute to reducing harmful emissions and protecting the environment. This aligns with global efforts to combat climate change and most government regulations.
At RG Automotive Diagnostics in Delta, BC, we offer a wide range of services for cars with environmentally friendly 1234yf refrigerant. Our team is skilled and uses the latest tools to ensure your car’s air conditioning works well and is safe for the environment. Here are the services we provide:
System Inspection and Diagnostics: We carefully check your air conditioning system to find any problems. We use special tools to figure out exactly what needs fixing.
1234yf Refrigerant Recharging: We refill your air conditioning with the right amount of refrigerant to make sure it cools properly.
Leak Detection and Repair: We use advanced equipment to find and fix leaks, which prevents the refrigerant from escaping and helps the environment.
Component Replacement and Repair: We will repair or replace broken or old parts like compressors or condensers.
Expert Advice and Consultation: We give you tips on how to keep your car’s AC in good shape.
When you choose us for your 1234yf refrigerant needs, you’re not just taking care of your car but also helping the planet. Our team is committed to great service and making sure our customers are happy.
In British Columbia, automotive industry standards increasingly align with global environmental regulations. These regulations often mandate refrigerants with lower GWP, like 1234yf, in newer vehicle models. This shift is not just an environmental consideration but also a compliance requirement. Vehicle manufacturers and repair shops must adapt to these evolving standards to ensure vehicles meet the necessary environmental and safety regulations.
While 1234yf refrigerant is eco-friendly, it requires careful handling due to its mildly flammable nature. At RG Automotive Diagnostics, we adhere to strict safety protocols when working with 1234yf. Our technicians are trained in the best practices for handling, storing, and disposing of this refrigerant. We prioritize the efficiency of your air conditioning system and the safety of our technicians and customers.
While the adoption of 1234yf is growing, not all new cars use it. Due to its environmental benefits and regulatory compliance, many manufacturers have started using 1234yf in their newer models. However, some vehicles still use R-134a, especially older models and certain new cars. As regulations continue to tighten, it’s expected that 1234yf will become more prevalent in the automotive industry.
If you’re in Delta, BC, and need professional assistance with your vehicle’s air conditioning system, RG Automotive Diagnostics is here to help. Our expertise in handling the advanced 1234yf refrigerant and our commitment to environmental safety and customer satisfaction make us your go-to choice. Contact us today to schedule a service or to learn more about how we can meet your vehicle’s refrigerant needs with our expert solutions.

I have been with RG Automotive since 2014 and have always received great service from them at very competitive prices. I am very happy with them and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing car repairs.
George Whitfield Oct 10, 2025
The service was good but the oil change light is still appearing, there were 3 liters of windshield washer added when I only asked for an oil change and the mechanic was taking my car for a test drive when I returned. I’m not sure why that was necessary. I also asked to have my name, email, and phone number as the primary contact but everything keeps going to my partner instead.
Deborah Janz Sep 9, 2025
Terrific experience. They were able to get our car in quickly, suggested who we should use to tow the car there, and followed up with us regularly on the progress of the repair. No hesitation to go back and would definitely recommend them to others.
Rich Ulvild Sep 9, 2025
Great knowledge of my two European cars (BMW VW). Not the cheapest, but you get great HONEST work. No complaints from any of my visits. Say hi to Steve!
michael gulliver Sep 9, 2025

Barb Hatter Aug 8, 2025
I brought my car in for its oil change and basic check. This was my first visit here for the basic service but I’d originally brought my car here because an earlier fiasco with another similar business including (expensive!!) mis-diagnosis regarding battery, Alternator etc required a trustworthy detailed check so I could trust my car again. That visit and the great service, detailed explanations etc brought me back. I couldn’t have been treated any better. Thank you!

RG automotive got my vehicle in quickly & did exactly what I asked them to do. I was able to drive my vehicle away the same day at a reasonable price. Thanks Rick deP
RICK DE PENCIER Jul 7, 2025
They know what they’re doing. The fact that I don’t have to drive to a Mercedes dealer for repairs is a great plus.
José & Co. Custom Jewellers Jul 7, 2025
My Tacoma was dripping fluid. I made an appointment with RG. They put it on the hoist and brought me over to see the problem. It was fluid from the air conditioning. No charge! It really feels like they genuinely want to help you and give you value for your money. The quote to fix it was way less than Toyota. I will most definitely take it to RG from now on.
john burridge Jul 7, 2025
My wife took our 2004 BMW 325ci in to get an issue resolved with our soft top convertible roof not raising. Ryan was very helpful in getting us in quickly to have the repair done. Fast service and the job was completed as quoted. RG followed up a few days later to make sure everything was working fine. Great service, they know what they're doing.
Peter Michael Jun 6, 2025
Thanks, Ryan, we are always more than pleased with the service you provide us. That’s why we won’t go anywhere else!
Martin Waigh Mar 3, 2024
Excellent, knowledgable service on my Benz and my two Lexus. Highly recommended.
Scott Nicoll May 5, 2025
This is my #1 spot to take my vehicles, the service is outstanding, Steve at the front desk explains everything and it makes for a great experience all around. I can highly recommend RG over the alternative which would cost double.
Russell Welton May 5, 2025
Steve and the rest of the team at RG were great! They were able to figure out and resolve the issue with my Audi Q5! I explained the issue and they looked into it carefully and provided a diagnostic report of the issues on hand. Steve explained the issue in detail so that I understood what parts needed to be replaced to resolve the issue. I was able to book a follow up appointment at my convenience and was provided a loaner vehicle while RG fixed the issue. I have been driving the vehicle for over a week now and I have not had any issues and the car is driving much smoother. Thanks again to the team at RG for doing the great work you all do! I'll be sure to come by again for my next service appointment.

Great Service. Thanks as always, RyanThanks
STEVEN R. Christian Apr 4, 2025
A family member who I trust implicitly recommended RG as he had worked with Ryan previously. Got my car in for next day service and Steve and the shop took great care of my car. I was kept up to date and the system showed me what problems there were with both pictures and explanations. I will be going back for any future work I require. Thank you RG.
darcy wilson Apr 4, 2025

Jim Reimer Apr 4, 2025
EXCELENT réception excellent follow-up looking good about their mechanics , was afraid at start because a range rover is costly for any maintenance, I had a choice to go to jaguar land rover dealer or RG. The dealer has a tendency to RYO. with smiles. RG is straightforward and a job done without tralala. Very happy with their professionalism Overall service honest shop! Amazing I recommend greatly RG diagnostic and support them they really deserve it! Thank you for reading all! :0) Thank you. Marc

I have been taking my vehicle to RG Diagnostics now for 4 1/2 years! I can truly say that I have always been totally happy with the service / maintenance done by RG! They inspect my vehicle and recommend what is needed at the time and that which can be done at a later date. I can say with total confidence that I would not take my vehicle anywhere else with the expert service they provide and truly great people to deal with! Thank you RG Diagnostics!!! 👏

Mike MacDonald Mar 3, 2025
I have a couple of friends that take their cars to RG auto and they have had a lot of good things to say. So when I bought a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta I decided to take it to RG to get it’s first oil change and scheduled maintenance. Steve at the front desk was great to deal with and took the time to explain how they work. They have an electronic email system that gives you a complete breakdown of what is good on your car, what needs attention and what’s urgent. Pricing in my opinion is on point. I was getting an oil change and scheduled maintenance, they pointed out to me that my spark plugs needed to be done. They called and got a verbal from me and proceeded with the work right away with no real delay in pick up. I will definitely be taking my car back and thank you to everyone over at RG auto.
Daryl Mcrae Mar 3, 2025
Great communication throughout and top notch service from Ryan and his team.
Chris Jenkins Mar 3, 2025
I have a 2015 Volkswagen Mk7 golf that had an antifreeze leak. The RG mechanic pressure tested the system and correctly identified a union connection that needed replacing between the water pump and oil cooler. This is a very tricky part to access and successfully replace. My husband who is very mechanically inclined, did it once previously and that was enough for him. I am very happy with RG’s service, pricing and efficient repair and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that needed top notch repairs done to their vehicle.
Maureen ALLEN Mar 3, 2025
Had a great experience here. Very professional and very efficient. I would recommend their services to any European car owner
Walter Leibenzeder Mar 3, 2025
RG is the best in the game, been getting my 2018 AUDI S5 serviced by the guys over here at RG, they nail it every time and at great prices too, would def recommend them for any of your servicing needs
