Why do I need to have my AC system serviced?

All vehicle air conditioning systems leak to a lesser or greater degree. The losses occur through refrigerant escaping through the pipe joins as a result of vibration and ageing of rubber hoses and 'O' ring seals, as well as through the seal on the front of the compressor shaft.

How often should the AC system be inspected/serviced?

An annual inspection is sufficient to check system condition and overall perfomance. A service of the system should be carried out at least once every two years, even if it appears to be working well.

It is estimated that you lose between 20-30% of the initial gas charge over a two year period and this figure is based on new vehicles.

FIRST TYRE PLUS MOBILE can provide a comprehensive list of all checks carried out and produce a report on the condition of the system.
