Auto Air Conditioning Services from Auto Aircon Direct

Car air conditioning systems really need regular servicing due to the natural porosity of the hoses and components of the air conditioning systems in modern vehicles. The refrigerant gas will leak slowly out of the A/C system at a rate of 15-20% per year, thereby making your system gradually less efficient until it finally stops working all together.

If you let your A/C system run out of refrigerant and then you don't use the system for several months the chances are that internal component seals will dry out and you will have leaks in your system when it is eventually re-gassed. This could be expensive!

Always ensure that your aircon system is in working order by running it on full cold at least once a week for a few minutes, even in the winter at the risk of frostbite! It takes at least one hour to carry out a correct service and re-gas of car aircon systems.

If anyone says that they can do it in less that one hour they are taking shortcuts and not doing a correct job. To vacuum the system to remove moisture takes at least 20 minutes alone. On larger vehicles such as Range Rovers with climate control then 30 minutes in vacuum is advisable. I won't bore you with all the technical details of how a car aircon system works or all the processes that are carried out during the service and re-gas, suffice to say that we do a proper job.

If we find a major fault on your air conditioning system that we can't service then we charge a £35.00 call out fee but this is deducted from your final invoice when we return to re-gas your system when the fault has been fixed by your friendly local garage. Can't be fairer than that can we?

How much does your car air conditioning system service and re-gas cost? We will do it for only £69.00 + VAT. Trade enquiries welcome.
