Air-Con
Contrary to popular belief, if the air conditioning in your car is not as effective as it usual is, a simple topping up of refrigerant gas may not provide a solution. Usually this is caused by a leak in your vehicle’s air conditioning system caused by cracked or faulty components.
With every air conditioning service, we fully assess your system by running a leak test, a pressure test and then running a special dye through to see if there are any small leaks. This will allow us to determine if there are any faults. If any are found we will offer you advice and repair or replace these parts at your discretion.
No matter the make or model of your vehicle, we guarantee you the best, most comprehensive air conditioning repair service.

Our technicians have all licences as required by law and are accredited with the Australian Refrigeration Council.

Your unit is comprised of a compressor unit, receiver dryer and condensation drain. These parts are connected with a system of metal pipes and rubber hoses which are sealed to the actual components with o-rings and crimps on the rubber hoses where they attach to the metal pipes. Provided there hasn’t been any physical damage to any parts or connections in the system, the o-rings and crimps are the places where “spontaneous” leaks develop. There are no regular preventative maintenance steps that can be taken to help keep these leaks from happening.
