Now is the time to service your vehicle air conditioning ready so if there is a problem with it you have time to repair it before its to late and your rushing to get it done in the hot weather. Remember you use your A/C all year round not just in the summer. We have upgraded our vehicle diagnostics systems to the latest Snap On Verus diagnostics system meaning we can diagnose faults on virtually any vehicle including the latest models, this not only helps us find a fault with your vehicle but can help before your engine management light comes on by reading the ECU for intermittent faults that don't trip the ECU light.
Firstly your vehicle's air conditioning system will be connected to an RMS (Refrigerant Management System) which will remove, measure and clean the refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system. The RMS will then create a vacuum in the system to remove any moisture that may be present and to test for leaks. If no leaks or problems are found the correct amount of new refrigerant, oil and ultra-violet dye will then be put back into the system. The ultra-violet dye is a fault finding aid: should your car's air conditioning system develop a leak in the future, the area of the leak will glow under ultra-violet light: this will save you money on future leak detection.
Why do you have your engine serviced on a regular basis? Because they have many moving parts that need to be constantly lubricated with the correct quantity and quality of oil. Filters need to be changed as these protect the engine from foreign particles. So we service A/C systems for exactly the same reasons we service engines! The A/C system is mainly mechanical with many moving parts in the compressor and a constant flow of oil and refrigerant around the system. If the refrigerant quantity is reduced by 15% due to natural seepage for example, then the oil returned to the compressor will also be reduced by the same quantity: this leads to premature failure of the compressor.
