Air Conditioning (AC)

Mobile Service

Full Service

A full service includes checking your vehicles air conditioning for performance, if the pressure readings are low then we will extract any gas which you may have left in the system which will be filtered and cleaned. We then carry out a vacuum check. While the system is carrying out a vacuum check other items of the air conditioning are checked, including the compressor unit (pump), the condenser, the cooling fan unit, the AC pipes and joints, the AC belt and other items.

If the vacuum check passes the leak test then we add fresh compressor oil and a yellow leak dye into the system. We then fill up the system with the correct amount of gas and check for correct operation and pressure readings. Finally we check the cabin temperature is within range.

Cost of this service is £59 (within the immediate Reading A Zone (see map below) and £69 between the RED ring and the ORANGE ring.

Leak Test

This service includes checking the pressures within the AC system. If the pressures are low it is likely that the gas has evaporated over time or you have a leak. We would recover any gas which you may have left in the system and then inject a quantity of nitrogen gas into the system. We would then use a leak detector tool and follow all the pipe work where accessible to see where the possible leak could be.

We would also check inside the cars ventilation system vents to see whether there is a leak from the evaporator. Once we have found a leak then we can quote you on the necessary work that is need to repair the leak.

Cost of this service is £45 (within the immediate Reading A Zone (see map below) and £55 between the RED ring and the ORANGE ring.
 

Ventilation De-Contamination

This service involves de-contaminating and deodorising the ventilation system.

Why does this need to be done?

The main purpose of the air conditioning is to remove moisture within the interior of the car. When the air conditioning system is used it pulls this moisture out of the air and holds it in the evaporator in the form of liquid, this liquid (water) eventually drains away outside on the floor via a drain tube located in the base of the evaporator housing.

As this liquid drains away some moisture still remains on the evaporator which eventually becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mould/fungus. It is this bacteria, mould and fungus which needs to be neutralised. If this is left untreated many problems can arise including a foul smell when operating the heater/cooling system ventilation, which not only smells bad but could potentially be harmful to your breathing, especially if you are a hay fever or asthma sufferer.

Cost of this service is £19 when a full service is done otherwise from £39 on its own. (within the immediate Reading A Zone (see map below) AND £55 between the RED ring and the ORANGE ring.

Ideally the pollen filter which is sometimes located behind the glove box should be replaced if you require this service. The cost will be £10 labour plus the cost of the part if the glove box requires to be removed otherwise if the pollen filter is very easy to access then it would be included in the service plus the cost of the pollen filter.

 

Windscreen Chip Repair
Mobile Service
This service involves removing the stone chip from your windscreen using the latest technology. We remove the air which is trapped in the chip area and then inject a clear resin in place of the air. Once this process has been completed and all the air is out we then coat the surface of the chip with a pit fill resin which is cured under a ultra violet light making the repaired area as hard as the existing screen.
Cost of this service is £40 within the immediate Reading A Zone (see map below) and £55 between the RED ring and the ORANGE ring.
