Car Air Conditioning Repairs and Service.
If you're looking for someone to repair your car's air conditioning system, Auto Hero can help!
Here, you can search for local repair shops and technicians who service and repair AC systems.
Don't worry if you're not sure what your air-con problem is. When you get in touch with an air conditioning repair centre through Auto Hero, you'll be able to talk directly to a knowledgeable staff member who will be happy to offer their advice.
How can you tell if your car's air conditioner needs a service?
A vehicle's AC or climate control system has an important and noticeable role - so it's usually easy to tell if something's not quite right.
- Your air conditioning isn't creating cool air effectively
- The system is noisy when it's turned on
- There is an unpleasant smell when the AC is running
If any of the above sound familiar, it's important to get your air conditioning system looked at soon.
Is a service and a re-gas the same thing?
A car air conditioning system service and a 're-gas' are often considered to be the same thing - but this isn't always the case.
Your AC system doesn't use up the refrigerant gas as it runs - so unless there's a leak that's causing the system to lose gas, then you may not need a re-gas.
When you use Auto Hero to find a local repair shop to work on your air conditioning system, you can be absolutely confident that no unnecessary work will be carried out. This means you won't pay any more than you have to to prevent a foggy windscreen and keep your vehicle cool.
How often should car air conditioning systems be serviced?
As long as your AC system is in reasonably good shape, an air conditioning service should last around two years.
Of course, this depends on how often the vehicle is used. Car air conditioning benefits from being used frequently - as the hoses and pulleys that operate the system can dry out and crack when not in use.
Even in a cool winter, this means it's a good idea to run your air-con to remove humidity from your vehicle and keep everything working as it should.
What does an air conditioning service involve?
Although an ordinary car service will briefly check that your AC and blowers are working, it won't always go into the same detail that a dedicated air conditioning service will.
A detailed inspection and car air conditioning systems service will usually include:
- Inspection of belts and pulleys in the AC system
- Operation test of all valves and thermostats
- Inspection of all hoses
- A visual and operation check of the air conditioning compressor
- A leak test to check all system lines and components
- Full system temperature checks
- If required, your AC service will also evacuate all refrigerant gas and recharge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant
If any mould or bacteria is detected or suspected in your AC system, the service centre may suggest that a specialist anti-bacterial product is used to kill the problem and get rid of any associated smell.
