What it costs

⃂ 750.00 Per booking

Nothing is paid on this website. You pay at the bay when you collect the car, in cash or by transfer.

What this workshop sells is hours of looking, and it is worth being blunt about that because it is unusual. A leak in an air conditioning system and an intermittent electrical fault are both found by measurement and elimination, not by fitting a part and hoping, so the figure on the booking form buys you a defined block of diagnostic time and a written answer at the end of it.

What that figure is not is a repair. Once we know what the fault is, you get one price for putting it right, with the part named, and nothing is ordered or fitted until you have said yes. If the answer turns out to be something we do not do, you pay for the diagnosis and we tell you who does.

A repair figure is an estimate until the part is off the car. On a fifteen year old loom a connector can break while it is being separated, and a bolt on a compressor bracket can shear. Neither is anybody's fault and both change the number, so both stop the job for a telephone call rather than appearing on the invoice.

We do not sell sealants, leak stoppers or anything else poured into a system instead of a repair, at any price, to anybody.

Two hours in the air conditioning bay, and the appointment to book for a car that used to be cold and is not any more.

What happens: the system is read on gauges while it runs, so we can see what pressures it is making and what that already tells us. Then whatever gas is left is recovered properly into the machine rather than let out into the car park, the system is put under nitrogen, and it is watched. A system that holds nitrogen for an hour does not have a leak worth finding; one that loses it does, and then it is dye, an ultraviolet lamp and the patient business of looking at every joint, the condenser, both hoses and the compressor seal.

What you get: the leak located, or a written statement that no leak was found and what that probably means instead, which is usually a condenser blocked solid with salt and insects or a fan that is not running.

What we will not do at this appointment is refill a system with a hole in it and take your money. That is the one thing this workshop exists not to do.
