Air-con that actually works, all year round.
We've recently invested in brand-new air-conditioning servicing equipment, so we can re-gas, leak-test and deep-clean the entire system in a single visit. Full service typically £50 + VAT - cool air in summer, demist in winter.
What an A/C service does.
Your car's air-conditioning is a sealed system that quietly loses about 10-15% of its refrigerant every year - even if you never touch the button. Once it's down by about a third, cooling drops off the cliff and the compressor starts working much harder than it should.
A full service vacuum-evacuates the system to remove old gas and any moisture, then refills it to the manufacturer's exact spec with the correct lubricant blend. We follow that with an antibacterial deep clean of the evaporator core, which is where most A/C smells come from.
It's the same job that costs nearly twice as much at a main dealer. We're an independent garage running the same equipment, so the price comes down to a sensible figure and the work is done by qualified mechanics who do it every week.
The benefits: cool air in summer, dehumidified air for fast demisting in winter, and a system that filters out airborne pollen and particulates - genuinely useful if anyone in the car suffers with hay fever.
Signs your A/C needs help.
If your car's doing any of these, book it in - sooner is cheaper than later because compressors don't appreciate running with low gas.
- SYMPTOM
Lukewarm vents
The system is low on refrigerant or has a leak. Re-gas first, then leak-test if it goes off again.
- SYMPTOM
Musty smell when the A/C kicks in
Bacteria buildup in the evaporator core. The deep clean is what fixes that.
- SYMPTOM
Pollen or hay-fever symptoms inside the car
Cabin / pollen filter is past its date. Quick swap, big difference.
- SYMPTOM
A/C not blowing cold after winter
Most common one we see. The seals dry out without regular use - usually a re-gas sorts it.
- SYMPTOM
Puddle under the front of the car after A/C use
Probably normal condensate. If it smells or has colour, get it looked at.
We re-gas across the East Riding.
