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 defroster is not working its often as a result of a:

• Stuck button
• Blocked fresh air intake
• Vent Issues
• Low Anti-Freeze
• Malfunctioning Thermostat
• Bad Heater Core
• Bad Blower Motor
• Broken Grid
• Broken Tabs
• Window Tinting Damaged Defroster Lines

Popular services linked to a Air Conditioning Inspection:

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.

Cabin Filter Replacement

To keep pollen and other dirt from blowing into your car through the vents, there are cabin air filters. They are often a source of a car’s ‘smell’ and are best maintained to keep your ride fresh.

Heater Fan Motor Replacement

If your air-con air flow has the same force as fanning a napkin on your face then your heater fan motor might need replacing. Rather than have a hot car and annoyed passengers, keep the blower motor working as it should. Not to mention that if your windscreen fogs up you’ll need the blower to clear it so that you can see.

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.
