Auto Air Conditioning
Why isn’t my car air conditioning working?
If your car air conditioner is not cooling, as it should, it is probably not working correctly and may be losing refrigerant (liquid or gas leak).
How will my car’s air conditioning repaired?
We will need to diagnose the problem and if a leak is evident it needs to be repaired before the air conditioner is re-gassed. Simply topping up an air conditioner leaking fluorocarbon refrigerant is illegal and will harm the environment by continuing to leak refrigerant into the air.
An auto electrician qualified to work with vehicle air conditioners will need to conduct this service.
How often should I service my vehicle’s air conditioning?
Two yearly maintenance services are required to avoid costly repairs. We can send you a friendly reminder prior to the annual due date.
