Air Conditioning
Service and Leak Detection
Servicing
We recommend that you have your Air Conditioning system serviced/ re-gassed every one to two years. This is because the gas naturally finds it way out and starts to diminish the optimum desired effects.
Our Air Conditioning service replenishes the gas to manufacturers specifications.
R134A gas is required (for vehicles manufactured on and before 2014), R1234YF gas is required (for vehicles manufactured on or after 2015)
We supply both types of gas and can carry out a service the same day, while you wait
Leak detection
To identify Air Conditioning system leaks We perform a UV dye test. This requires us to inject a special UV dye during the evac/recharge process.
Once the system is up to normal pressure, We run the car and turn on the air conditioner. Then, using a special UV/black light, We scan for visible dye.
From there We can fix the issue and have your vehicles A/C running at optimal efficiency.
(below is an image of a leak detected by using the special UV dye and black light)
Anti bacterial cleanse
Your Air Conditioning system carry carry some nasty bacteria creating bad smells and in some cases, health issues.
We offer a service to eliminate this by using our Anti - Bacterial sanitiser Smoke machine, We run this through your A/C system and vehicle simultaneously, this kills off most of the bacteria, leaving your vehicle smelling amazing (We have different scents available)
It is recommended that you have your air/ cabin filter removed and replaced with a new one for this to be most effective.
