At Colbert’s we are unlike most other garages. We do not ‘dabble’ in air conditioning. We are trained and qualified air-conditioning technicians and have an expert Air conditioning side of the business known as Bonair.

We not only carry our Regassing, but offer a full diagnostics, servicing and repair service at our premises. We can repair and manufacture most air-conditioning pipes and hoses saving you those expensive dealer pipe replacements.

We can also install full air-conditioning systems into vehicles.

Not only this but we also have a Mobile Re-gassing Service available during peak months. (call 07976 782828 for Mobile Service)

Why service your air conditioning system?

Your cars air conditioning system will lose 10-15% of its refrigerant every year, this means that after 3 years your system (if not serviced) can be down by as much as 45% of its refrigerant. This makes the compressor run for longer therefore reducing your MPG.

Do you get a ‘Musty’ smell when using your Air-conditioning. This can be caused by a build up of fungus and bacteria within the evaporator core, this can emit a peculiar smell and sometimes lead to an allergic reaction in extreme cases. This is sometimes called ‘Sick Car Syndrome’. We can rectify this for you at relatively low cost, in most cases while you wait.

Did you know that your vehicles air-conditioning system has a filter called receiver drier or an accumulator, depending on the type of system your vehicle is fitted with. These have a 2 to 3 year life span, and only a 4 hour life span if open to atmosphere. If not replaced they can have dramatic effects on the service life of your system.
