Specialist Automotive & Commercial A/C Hose & Pipe Solutions
Autofrost provides specialist automotive and commercial A/C hose, pipe and line repair, replacement and fabrication services from our Sydney workshop. We support a wide range of applications including passenger vehicles, trucks, transport fleets, mining equipment, earthmoving machinery, agricultural equipment and custom vehicle builds.
Services range from simple hose repairs through to complete custom hose and hardline fabrication for obsolete, damaged or modified systems.
In addition to local workshop repairs, we also offer Australia-wide remove and send services for customers requiring hose or pipe repair, remanufacture or custom fabrication.
Unlike general repair workshops, Autofrost focuses heavily on specialist A/C hose and line work, including custom applications and commercial equipment support.
Leaking or Damaged A/C Hose or Pipe?
Common A/C Hose & Pipe Failures
Automotive and commercial A/C systems commonly suffer from hose and pipe failures caused by age, vibration, heat, abrasion and corrosion. Common issues include:
- Leaking hose crimps
- Rubbed-through hose sections
- Cracked aluminium pipes
- Corroded fittings and hardlines
- Damaged hose fittings
- Porous or deteriorated hose
- Vibration-related failures
- Stone or impact damage
- Obsolete or unavailable OEM assemblies
In many cases, the failed section can be repaired or remanufactured without replacing the entire assembly.

Not Local? We Can Still Help.
Autofrost’s specialist hose, pipe and line repair and fabrication capability is available to customers across Australia — not just those who can visit our Sydney workshop.
For interstate and remote customers, the process is straightforward: remove the assembly, send it to our Sydney workshop, and we’ll assess, repair or remanufacture it and return it ready to refit.
This is commonly used by customers with:
- Mining and earthmoving equipment — where local specialist support isn’t available
- Trucks and commercial vehicles — operating across remote or regional areas
- Agricultural machinery — seasonal urgency, limited local options
- Custom or obsolete assemblies — where no local workshop has the fabrication capability
- Fleet vehicles — coordinated through fleet managers or workshops
To assist with a faster assessment, include photos of both ends of the assembly, the fitting and routing detail, vehicle or equipment type, and the fault location if known.
Autofrost offers Air conditioning / refrigeration hose & pipe repair & manufacture, for applications such as:

FAQ’S
Assessment & Enquiry Process
Getting an accurate assessment starts with good information. Here’s what to do before you submit your enquiry:
Step 1 — Gather your vehicle or equipment details Make, model, year and application type. For commercial or heavy equipment, include the machine type and operating environment.
Step 2 — Take photos before you remove anything Photos of the full assembly in-situ, both ends showing fittings and connection points, the routing path, and the fault or damage location. These are the most useful images we can receive.
Step 3 — Note whether the assembly has been removed If it’s still fitted, let us know. If it’s already been removed, include photos from both ends and any fittings that came away with it.
Step 4 — Describe the fault Where is it leaking or damaged? Has it been repaired before? Are there any modifications to the original routing or fittings?
For interstate and remote enquiries — once we’ve assessed your photos and confirmed we can assist, we’ll advise on the best way to package and send the assembly to our Sydney workshop. Turnaround and return options will be confirmed at that point.
