Farmer Autocare

Air con charger, very necessary to go out and embark on Summer activities in Dundee.
Feeling the heat? Check out the air con rechargers from Farmer Autocare.

On a hot day we all hate that feeling of getting in to a boiling hot car, and it’s even worse when your air conditioning won’t cool it any more.

If your car Air Conditioning is blowing out warm air or only works intermittently, an air con recharger from Farmer Autocare can bring it back to life and get your car back to a comfortable and cool driving environment for you again.

Manufacturers recommend that your air con is recharged every 2 years as your car or van air conditioner is not checked as part of your MOT test.

With a recharge service at Farmer Autocare, we will remove any old refrigerant gas and oil from your air con system, before filling it again with new refrigerant and lubricant as per your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. A vacuum test is also performed to ensure there are no cracks or damage in your vehicle air conditioning system that could cause the gas to leak out.

Get your car ready for summer and enjoy a cooler summer with an air conditioning recharge at any Farmer Autocare from just £59.50
