UV Micro-Leak Test
Fluorescent dye circulates with the refrigerant and glows under UV light right where the leak is. Over 95% accuracy, detects even 5 grams per month.
What's the problem?
- Electronic detector can't find the leak
- Slow leak that shows up after weeks
- Leak from a hard-to-reach spot (behind dashboard, under engine)
- Already recharged twice this season and it's empty again
How we fix it
Add UV dye to the refrigerant in the system
Drive 2-3 days for dye circulation
Scan with UV lamp on all connections, hoses, condenser and evaporator
Mark and photograph the exact leak location
Repair recommendation: O-ring, hose, or component replacement

Professional equipment
Professional high-intensity UV lamp and UV dye compatible with R134a and R1234yf. Works even where electronic detectors give false signals.
When to visit us?
When the AC loses refrigerant slowly and standard diagnostics can't find the leak. We recommend a UV test after the second recharge within a year.
