Air-con regassing is the process of removing the old refrigerant gas from your air conditioning system and replacing it with new refrigerant, so your air con can run cold again.
It should be the first thing you explore if your air-con system isn’t blowing as cold as it should. The process should take no longer than an hour to do.
There could be other reasons why your air-con isn't blowing cold anymore, but our mechanics will be able to advise if the issue is the result of an...ything other than the need for regassing.
Regas from £49.99 Call us on 01443 814642...

Almost half of UK drivers believe getting their car serviced at an independent garage will invalidate their manufacturer warranty, new research has revealed.
The survey, by Halfords Autocentres, questioned 22,000 motorists and found that 44 per cent believed getting their car serviced by an independent garage would invalidate their manufacturer warranty.
However a ruling in October 2003, saw the EU introduce Block Exemption Regulation.
... The legislation prevents a vehicle’s warranty being invalidated if serviced at a non-franchise dealer, provided manufacturer-approved parts are used.
To protect manufacturer warranty owners must ensure all work is carried out in line with the vehicle’s service schedule, and must retain documents of the work carried out.

If you are experiencing shuddering, juddering or heavy vibrations within your car or vehicle then this could be a sign that your having problems with the timing chain. The timing chain may need servicing or replacing completely to stop the vibrations and any further damage to your vehicle especially within the engine.
We are getting lots of timing chain problems from vehicle owners owning Peugeots and BMW vehicles. Are you experiencing vibrations, shuddering and juddering wi...thin your vehicle
If your timing chain is damaged and is left unchecked then this can cause more problems for the vehicle such as engine problems, bent engine valves and a whole range of problems that can lead to expensive repairs.
Engine rebuilds and engine repairs can be far more expensive and in some cases it would be more cost effective to buy a new car. Facing these kinds of expenses can be a burden so if you are getting shuddering, juddering and vibrations coming from the vehicle and it is the timing chain at fault it would be better to replace or service it.
We can replace timing chains from £250. This price is far cheaper than buying a new car in the thousands or rebuilding the engine in the thousands and it will be less of a heavy burden for your wallet or bank balance to handle.

Coolant/Antifreeze Change £30
Your car's engine needs coolant to keep it at the right temperature year round. It's important to maintain your cooling system, which is why we recommend a coolant change every two years to prolong the life of your car.
Coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water, which stops the engine from freezing in winter, and overheating in summer
... As part of the Coolant/Antifreeze Change, our expert technicians will drain and refill your coolant, as well as safely disposing old fluid.

Timing belts....
Follow the maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer and replace the timing belt as recommended. The timing belt drives the water pump in 60% of the cars. The labor cost of replacing the water pump is significantly higher than the cost of the pump. While replacing the timing belt, it is cost effective to replace the water pump. We highly recommend replacing the timing belt pulleys and tensioners. The tensioner applies pressure to the timing belt keepi...ng it tight, while the pulleys keep the timing belt in line. These components are sealed units that contain bearings (they cannot be lubricated on a regular basis). The bearings wear out over time and may seize, causing the timing belt to come off, which can cause major internal engine damage.
Ignoring the replacement of a timing belt as a part of scheduled maintenance, could result in major engine failure down the road. You should not wait for your timing belt to break, it must be serviced regularly.
