How a Air Conditioning Inspection works with My Auto Shop:

A qualified mechanic or auto electrician will go check over your entire air conditioning system to understand whats causing the issue, including the electrical side of the system. They will then check the AC gas level and ensure there are no leaks from any of the hoses or compressor.

If required the mechanic will provide a quote for necessary repairs or replacement parts.

When your AC is not working its often as a result of:

• Blown fuse
• Bad relay
• Nonfunctioning or damaged blower motor
• Blower resistor malfunction
• Clogged air intake
• Broken hose

AC Compressor Replacement

The AC compressor in your vehicle is one of the cabin cooling systems major components and has the job of pressurising the refrigerant in the air conditioning system, as well as circulating the refrigerant which is necessary for the rest of the system to focus on keeping it cool. The refrigerant in the system can be harmful if released into the environment, and should always therefore be managed by a trained professional.

Fan Speed Resistor Replacement

The ability to turn up or down the fan speed for your car’s air con is the key function of the fan speed resistor. It simply restricts the amount of power the blower fan receives, which in turn limits the speed the fan works at. Typically fan speed resistors fail as a result of overheating, which can cause a short in the system melting the resistor or any of its connections.

AC Re Gas

In hot New Zealand summers, your air con gets a real workout. As a result the gas in the system is recycled and reused constantly. Like anything, this leads to small leaks and loss of the gas over time. Without the refrigeration gas, your air con system is just pumping air from outside the car to inside without any cooling effect.

AC Condenser Replacement

The Air Con Condenser is just like a small radiator, similar to the one in the engine bay of your vehicle. It cools refrigerant gas that has come from the air con compressor and converts it into a liquid. It does this much like how steam cools to make water, it’s the resulting refrigerant liquid that is used to produce cool air for your enjoyment on hot days.
