A specialist would not be much cheaper, £45 is a good price.

To my knowledge they will regased it and give it a clean to make sure no bacteria as built up which can cause it to smell. Probably be pressure tested as well to make sure there are no leaks.

This is just an assumption by the way.

I saw an Audi garage drop off an A6 and a TT for testing at a local tyre n MOT place the other day. Had all the Audi seat covers and two drivers with clipboards and overalls picked up whilst my bro had his puncture repaired. Might be the reason for being cheaper  :lipsrsealed:

If it was just a regas..... could have went to Kwik fit!
