Both getting an air conditioning recharge service this morning from Auto-Chill

A nice review posted on Yell.com today from another happy customer.

Excellent service

Having had my aircon recharged elsewhere, I was told my system wasn't working properly but they didn't do aircon repairs. I decided to try another company to sort out the problem, and contacted Ian of Auto Chill. He came out first thing the next working day, tested the system and then fully recharged it. It appears that the nationwide company I went to first,hadn't recharged fully,and that was why it was still blowing warm air..... it is now blasting out lovely cold air. A little bit more expensive than the original company, but well worth it for the privilege of not having to leave my house.
I would certainly recommend this excellent service and will use Auto Chill again in the future.

Sometimes it's not just about the price but the quality of service provided that matters.
Especially at times like these when you can have the service done without leaving home.

I have been asked a lot this year if I am able to sanitise the interior of cars.

There are various products available ranging from aerosol cannisters which I have used a lot this year to smoke machines and ozone purifiers.

I already have an ozone machine although a fairly basic one it does work by creating ozone gas which kills bacteria, mold, viruses and bad smells in the vehicle.

I have looked into the latest products available and have purchased a couple of Air 2 San machines made by Texa.
These are a very good product using both HEPA and charcoal filters along with ozone sanitation to purify the interior.
This process circulates the air within the sealed vehicle getting into air vents, upholstery, carpets and the little gaps that other products can't. It also uses no chemicals and doesn't leave any residue on surfaces.

These machines produce a higher output of ozone than other machines available and crucially have a third phase that converts the ozone back to oxygen at the end of the cycle making the vehicle safe for immediate use instead of having to ventilate for a period of time.

The process is totally monitored by the machine and the associated app to monitor temperature, humidity and ozone level so it can time the clean to the individual vehicle size. It will also supply a printable certificate of the clean.

This process can also be used on caravans, motorhomes, minibus and truck cabs as well as offices.

Prices for the sanitising is £45 for the first car and £25 for additional cars done at the same visit.

If the treatment is carried out with an air conditioning recharge service then it is £25 additional charge.

Well I finally got this Jaguar XE completed today on the third visit.

Initially it had a bad leak on the top condenser pipe where it had rubbed through on a wiring harness.
Once that part was obtained and fitted a nitrogen pressure test revealed a small leak in the condenser radiator. When removing the lower pipe from the condenser it snapped in the hole due to corrosion build up.
(I've now had this issue twice)
So after fitting 2 new pipes and a new condenser I carried out a final pressure test only to find a leaking valve core in the high pressure port that wasn't leaking last time I tested it.
All sorted now and back to fully functional air conditioning.
Most jobs are straight forward but now and again I get ones that certainly try your patience.

A Nissan Juke getting a replacement condenser fitted today in Durham due to stone chip damage.
All carried out conveniently at the customers home.
