Air Conditioning
The Air-conditioning system on your vehicle is another collection of parts that needs periodic maintenance and repair, in order to maintain efficiency and provide you with clean cold air when you need it. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that air conditioning should be serviced every 2 years.

- In-car checks for unpleasant odours and excessive condensation
- Drain air con system
- Visual inspection for contamination of oil separated after drain off
- Recharge air-con refrigerant (re-gas)
- Replace oil removed during drain off
- Check operation and condition of air-con compressor drive belt
- Visual inspection of pressure lines, hoses and connections for leaks

Air Conditioning Contamination Treatment
When your air conditioning system is not in use (quite a lot of time in the UK!), condensation builds up on the evaporator and becomes an ideal place for bacteria and fungi to breed. This bacteria can be a hazard to your health and when the warmer weather comes along and you turn your air conditioning on, these nasty, unhealthy bacteria can be vented directly into the cabin area. The first you’ll know about this will be an unpleasant smell although more often than not, you’ll be unaware that you are breathing in these harmful bacteria.
For a small extra cost, we can decontaminate your air conditioning system with our decontamination treatment.
The decontamination treatment:
- Kills the bacteria and fungi and suppresses the build-up of bacteria colonies
- Improves air quality
- Deodorises the interior of the vehicle
- Gives you and your passengers the peace of mind knowing that you’re travelling in a healthier and cleaner environment
