Making aircon regas as easy as buying milk.
A permanent kiosk model that meets drivers where they already are. the supermarket car park. We're piloting in Buckinghamshire, with a plan to become a household name.
A fragmented, inconvenient market.
There are ~40 million cars on UK roads. Most need an aircon regas every two years. Today that means booking a garage, dropping the car for the day, and paying whatever the forecourt asks. It's a routine job that feels like a chore. and that's the opening.
Three tailwinds, one moment.
- Hotter UK summers, year on year.
- The shift to R1234yf refrigerant is squeezing indie garages that can't afford dual-gas kit.
- Supermarkets actively looking for services that drive footfall and dwell time.
Small footprint. Big convenience.
A permanent kiosk in a supermarket car park. Four bays. One TEXA regas station. Passing trade and word of mouth do the rest.

~45 minute service time
Fits inside the average supermarket visit. High throughput per bay.
