Cant see what else they could do for the extra 21 quid?

it does say what they are doing. It says they are recharging the system as well as providing the aircon system clean stuff. I've seen aircon recharging advertised elsewhere for £49.99 which i refuse to pay

@snipez999 did that actually work - I remember using it way back in my 5er and not making a difference.

I've used it before it does work, but it also depends how much crap you have in the system. I had a mate who needed 3 or 4 cans to get rid of the bacteria smell

Last time I paid £20 albeit that was as a favour pretty much mates rates.

I am pretty lucky as I have a few contacts for odd jobs that don't need dealer visits.

Taken me a while to build up contacts - I don't tend to get cappuccino or courtesy cars though albeit the odd brew in a workshop not unknown.

So it is a reasonable deal then?
I've had the car 100,000 miles (and there was 75,000 on the clock when I bought it) and not regassed the aircon yet so probably needs done ........
