Excellent Priced Car AirCon Recharging £45 or Free

mjr600

Kwik-Fit have an offer which in itself is competitive, £45 to have a vehicle air conditioning system recharged, main dealers will want up to £100 for the same job.

To sweeten the deal if the temperature at the vent doesn't fall by 10% after the recharge then you get the deal for free.

It is a perfect time to have the work done, two to three years is the norm on most cars.

The free offer makes it even better.

Can you trust these people - I got them to change two tyres on my car last year, they jacked the car up incorrectly and caused just under £500's worth of damage to the sill.

my local air con place (they do refrigeration, air con for offices - that kaind of thing)

They'll do my BMW's aircon for £20.

Forget Kwik Fit - unless you want a 16 year old asbo ridden teenager to 'professionally' sort yr car out.....

I have had this done, I found that the change to the air con system was really noticeable. The bloke who sorted it out for me was really friendly and helpful not an 'asbo ridden teenager.' I think Kwik Fit have a really bad reputation, but most of its not deserved. Accidents happen, but its the way they sort it out that matters.

Do you know if they fix leaks too?
I seemingly have a small leak. Well my car does!

I tried to follow this offer up with them last Autumn but it was only a few selected branches then with the equipment so do phone and check ahead if considering them.

Anyone know of a decent company to retro fit aircon? My Mum has been quoted £1000 to have it fitted to her Suzuki Wagon R (yeah, I know!) by the local main dealer which I think is a bit steep?

Retro fitting aircon really is difficult, it involves additional belt drives, coolant radiator, controls/switches and in most cases ECU reprogramming. Personally the easiest and cheapest way to add aircon is to sell the Wagon R privately and buy another one with it already fitted.

Top tip here.
If you measure your temperature in Kelvin (like scientists) then a 10% fall would require your aircon to take you from 20C down to about -9
