Aircon keeps us cool in the summer removing pollen and other air borne particles and it demists your car in the winter. Try these tips to help keep your aircon working without problems.
Run your aircon all year round, this lubricates the seal and reduces leakage.
Service your aircon every year to highlight any problems before they get serious.
Don’t ignore problems, weaker cooling means the oil will not be circulating properly. Less lubrication means more internal wear and potentially serious damage.
Check the pollen filter annually – it can affect performance.
Did you know, that 8 out of 10 pressure gauges at petrol stations are inaccurate and in general under pressure?
This means that your tyres
will end up with the outer edges worn first. As well as cracking between the tread area and sidewall. If you notice any of these problems please call in and we will be happy to check your tyres.
Did you know that 70% of all mileage is added to the vehicle in the summertime?
A vehicle with 3 mm of tread on the tyre has actually only
1.4 mm of useable tread and this means 3 times greater breaking distance, especially with our climate and our summer showers increasing the possibility of aquaplaning. This is why rear end accidents increase by 15% in the summertime.
