Air conditioning isn't just great for those hot summer days; it's a handy tool for demisting windows during the winter months too, which is why it's so important to have it working all throughout the year. We recommend having your car air conditioning system serviced with gas and lubricant every two years to keep it running efficiently.
At Moorlands Garage Service Centre our expert technicians conduct free air conditioning temperature checks to ensure that your system is working correctly. If all is okay, there's nothing to pay! If your system needs an antibacterial clean or a recharge, we can carry out the work while you wait. It doesn’t take long and once it's done, your system will keep you cool for another two years.
Air conditioning checks are not part of your cars annual service so it's up to you to have it checked, with any car over two years old able to benefit from a re-gas.
Air conditioning recharges and services should typically be carried out every two years, but it's best to have your air conditioning checked as soon as you suspect that there might be a problem with the system, such as the temperature dropping, or an unusual smell coming from your system. A drop in gas pressure will result in a loss of cooling efficiency as well as making your engine work harder, which uses up more fuel.
At Moorlands Garage Service Centre, our expert technicians conduct free air conditioning temperature checks to help put your mind at ease and if your car doesn't need a refresh or a service, you don't pay a penny.
For a fresh car throughout the year you need to ensure that the air conditioning system is full, working order. If you think your air conditioning could be in need of a service, there are some common tell-tale signs that you need to look out for.
The most common complaint with air conditioning comes when the vents stop blowing cold air. More often than not, this is the first sign your car is due an air conditioning re-gas. Our expert technicians check the air conditioning lubricant and refrigerant levels in line with the manufacturer's recommendations to make it as good as new.
Look out for a musty smell coming from your car's air conditioning; this is especially common if your air-con hasn't been used for long periods and usually means that your air filter is in need of an anti-bacterial clean to remove any bacteria build up on your filters.
*Our air conditioning regas service is for vehicles using R134A refrigerant only. We do not currently provide a regas service for vehicles using R1234YF refrigerant. Please check your vehicle handbook to identify which air conditioning refrigerant your vehicle requires.
