Car Air-Conditioning systems need recharging

with gas & lubricant every few years.

There is No need to make an appointment

- we offer a drive in service -

Most vehicles are fitted with air conditioning and climate control systems as standard these days. Many of us are familiar with using air-con in our car on both hot and cold days, but not many people are aware that like other parts of your car, the air-conditioning system also needs regular attention to make sure it is working efficiently.

You may not be aware that over 10% of air-con gas evaporates from the air-con system every year, which means that it may not work as well as it should. This is why car manufacturers recommend your Air-Con system is recharged with gas and lubricant every 2 years. This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing, so if your vehicle is more than 2 years old it’s probably due a recharge.

We offer a complete air conditioning recharge service as well as full servicing on a drive-in basis there is usually no need for an appointment. . The whole process usually takes an hour and also includes a system de-bug to clear bacterial build up from within the system, which will remove any unpleasant odours.

Our highly skilled technicians will show you the difference in your Air-Con system before and after recharge. Air-Con systems not fully recharged will be less effective and have to work harder putting more strain on the engine and using more fuel. If your Air-Con system has not been recharged in 2 years it will dramatically reduce efficiency.

During the hotter summer month’s motorist use the Air-Con system more; however your system is also useful in winter. Air-Con systems create dry warm air rather than the normal humid air from outside and this de-mists your car windscreen more quickly.

What's Involve :

• We will determine the contents of your system and check for leaks.


• Examine your system for visible faults or damage including fan/compressor belt tension. Re-tension or change the belt as necessary.


• If there are no leaks present we will check the oil level in the compressor,if practical.

• Replace system filter.


• Carry out full system performance check.


• If any leak or fault is apparent we will advise you and wait for your instruction.
