As more than 90% of new cars sold have air conditioning
systems
fitted as standard, we offer air conditioning sevice to
the owner of such a vehicle. The system cools the passenger
cabin during warm weather and assists the demister in winter
by removing excess moisture in damp conditions.
Whilst the modern automotive A/C system is both efficient and
reliable, it is a mainly mechanical part of the system which
requires periodical servicing and maintenance in order to
maintain its performance. Almost without exception, vehicle
manufacturers now recommend an annual service to maintain
the efficiency of the system and ensure the reliable running
of the vehicle.
Most car owners and many other service centres, do not
appreciate that if an A/C system is not correctly maintained by
suitably trained and equipped technicians on a regular basis,
there is a risk of system damage which can be quite costly or
even a complete vehicle breakdown. This is possible because
most A/C equipped vehicles use a common drive belt to power
the A/C compressor. If an A/C compressor seizes due to lack of
maintenance, the subsequent drive belt failure will stop the
vehicle.

Your car
air con system loses up to 15% of it's refrigerant
every year.
A poorly
performing car air conditioning system can cause a
build up of fungus, bacteria and other microbes growing inside
the evaporator core, causing a smell, sometimes an allergic
reaction and could possibly lead to legionnaires disease.
A poor
aircon system can increase your fuel costs as the air
conditioning pump need to work harder.
IMPORTANT
SAFETY WARNING
Please note that all A/C systems contain potentially harmful
CFC or HFC gases under very high pressures. Exposure to the
refrigerant can cause cold burns and blindness. Additionally,
deliberate release of the refrigerant is a criminal offence with
penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment with an unlimited fine.
The only safe way to maintain your system is through an annual
service by a qualified A/C technician using specialised equipment.
Our workshops are fully equipped with the very latest state of
the art A/C servicing equipment ready to maintain or diagnose
your A/C and our technicians have undergone extensive
specialised training. You can be rest assured that we offer an
efficient, economical and environmentally safe service of your
A/C system.
