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 fan speed control is not working its often as a result of a:

• Blower resistor malfunction
• HVAC control panel is bad
• Blower motor is bad

Heater Hose Replacement

Your heater hoses are your best friend on a cold morning. These circulate hot coolant from the engine and use it to warm you up. As these hoses are constantly having water flow through them and at great temperatures, they do eventually wear down and need replacing.

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 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.

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.
