Air Conditioning

Our mechanics are trained in air conditioning repairs and servicing. You should have your car's 'air con' check regularly for leaks and fluid top ups to give you good reliable operation through the summer months ask our help desk for advise on how to keep your cars system smelling fresh and clean.

A car air conditioning system should be serviced annually.
As part of a vehicle's annual service routine, its air conditioning system should be inspected. This annual check should include a check of refrigerant quantity, pressure and temperature, checking refrigerant hoses, drive belts and wiring harnesses and changing pollen filters. Please note that this is at additional cost to the vehicle’s ‘annual’ service.

We strongly recommend that a full service is carried out every two years; in addition to the above items the filter/dryer is changed.

Our Car Air Conditioning Service checklist:

* Identify system contents with refrigerant analyser
