Frequently the refrigerant gas that is used to operate the system depletes over time. When the aircon system is not used over the winter, the small “O” ring seals can dry out allowing the gas to leak, sometimes up to 15% over the winter months when it is not being used.
This is why it is sensible to run your air conditioner system occasionally through the winter months. This can be fixed quickly and easily by checking for leaks and then regassing your air conditioner. This is sometimes referred to as a regas for your car. All of our mechanics are fully licensed to carry out repairs and services to all automotive air conditioning systems. For further information click here
Brakes have a major impact on a vehicle's saftey.
Whether you have disc or drum brakes we can maximise the stopping power of your braking system.
This may entail:
If your steering wheel shakes when the brakes are applied this could be caused
by brake shudder,
it occurs when the brake rotors become unevenly worn
the brake pads contact the high points of the brake rotor this results
in a vibration. This vibration can be felt by the driver through the steering wheel.
If the vibration is felt in the steering wheel when the brakes are not applied it could be associated with a tyre imbalance or uneven tyre wear.
