Car Air-Conditioning
Stay Comfortable Year-Round
A working air conditioner makes summer driving bearable. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or starts smelling musty, it needs attention.
We service and repair car air conditioning systems. Regas, leak repairs, compressor replacement – we’ll get your A/C working properly again.
Our Air-Conditioning Services Include
- A/C Regas – Your A/C loses refrigerant over time. We evacuate the old gas, check for leaks, and refill with the correct refrigerant for your vehicle.
- Performance Testing – We test your A/C system to check it’s cooling properly and find any issues affecting performance.
- Leak Detection – A/C systems that lose gas quickly have a leak. We use diagnostic equipment to find leaks in hoses, seals and components.
- Compressor Repairs and Replacement – The compressor is the heart of your A/C system. If it fails, we can replace it and get your system working again.
- Condenser Replacement – A damaged condenser stops your A/C cooling properly. We replace condensers damaged by stones or corrosion.
- A/C System Cleaning – Bacteria and mould in your A/C cause bad smells. We clean and deodorise the system to get rid of musty odours.
- Hose and Seal Replacement – Perished hoses and worn seals cause refrigerant leaks. We replace faulty parts to stop gas escaping.
Signs Your A/C Needs Service
Don’t suffer through summer in a hot car. Watch for these signs your A/C needs attention:
- The A/C blows warm air instead of cold. Your system has lost refrigerant or something’s failed.
- Weak airflow even when the fan is on full. A blocked cabin filter or failing blower motor restricts airflow.
- Strange smells when you turn on the A/C. Musty or mouldy smells mean bacteria growing in the system.
- The A/C works but takes ages to cool down. Low refrigerant or a partially blocked system causes poor cooling.
- Water dripping inside the car. The drain tube is blocked, causing condensation to overflow inside.
- Unusual noises when the A/C is running. Grinding, squealing or rattling sounds mean something’s wrong with the compressor or other components.
Why Choose AutoCare for A/C Service?
We handle different refrigerant types and have the equipment to service modern A/C systems properly.
A/C work needs to be done properly. We evacuate and recharge systems correctly, and we check for leaks before refilling.
If your A/C isn’t working, we’ll find out why. Sometimes it’s just low on gas. Sometimes parts have failed. We’ll tell you what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix.
A/C Maintenance Tips
- Keep your A/C working well with a bit of care:
- Run your A/C regularly, even in winter. Running it for 10 minutes every week or two keeps seals lubricated and prevents gas leaking out.
- Replace your cabin filter regularly. A blocked filter restricts airflow and makes your A/C work harder.
- Get your A/C serviced every couple of years. Systems lose a small amount of gas naturally over time.
- If your A/C stops working, get it checked soon. The longer you leave it, the more expensive repairs can become.
- Don’t ignore bad smells. Get the system cleaned before it gets worse.
