Specialist Vehicle Air Conditioning and Heater System Services

By spending a small amount on an annual or bi-annual servicing you are limiting the risk of having to find a major fault, so avoiding service costs can end up being a false economy.

It can be common for car air conditioning refrigerant gas to leak naturally from all systems at 10 – 15% per annum. If that is left untreated, your fuel economy will be affected.

The compressor, which is powered by the engine and therefore using fuel, has to work harder. This costs you for using additional fuel to power the under-performing compressor.

In addition, the lower the refrigerant gas level gets, the greater the likelihood of an air conditioning system component failure.

Is your Air Conditioning, Climate Control failing to provide its original freshness? 

As your system ages, you may notice the freshness deteriorating. Whenever your air conditioning is operating, moisture in the air condenses on the system’s cold surfaces. Whilst most of the moisture drains harmlessly away. 

Avacs Ltd servicing facility means that systems can be maintained and checked. Problems and faults can be diagnosed and treated before they become too serious.

Our experience, knowledge and capability can ensure that your system is efficient and safe, avoiding future problems and excessive costs. Please contact us today to arrange a convenient appointment.

Furthermore Gary advised the shows phone-in listeners, answering their questions and guiding them with some appreciated advice.

What sets AVACS apart from general car service garages?

The reasons why you should get your vehicle air conditioning, climate control or heating systems repaired and serviced by us

Fresh cold air from car climate control vents

Car air conditioning is a specialist business and in the wrong repairers hands, it can be an expensive one! 

AVACS, as true car air conditioning and climate control specialists have specific vehicle brand and product knowledge. Many years of experience that will save you overall, not cost you more in both repeated frustration and money.

When the ‘Jack of all trades’ replace parts like they are going out of fashion, you can be pretty sure that they don’t have a clue what is wrong with the system.

So at your cost, they just go ahead and replace everything. Hoping for the best until it is fixed, fixed for now or ‘partly fixed’ until the refrigerant gas they charged you for slowly leaks out again within a week or two!

However, our expert and SPECIALIST knowledge and experience will save you money, because we have most certainly seen the fault you have before.

We have all of the professional diagnostic equipment to test it. Furthermore, if it does need parts, we are one of the UK’s leading air conditioning parts warehouse.

Sometimes the fault is due to corrosion and/or degradation of one or more of the air conditioning pipes, thus causing the refrigerant gas to leak.

As true professionals, we have all of the specialist pipe making equipment and parts to make like-for-like, replacement pipes in-house. Especially useful if the original pipes are no longer available or have a protracted lead time from the car main dealership parts centres.

At AVACS we don’t do exhaust pipes, tyre fitting or battery changes and we are not an MOT centre.

We are proudly the UK’s leading car air conditioning and climate control specialists. We will therefore save you money by diagnosing and repairing your vehicle properly.

If you think it might be expensive to bring your car to a specialist such as us, think again.

Our diagnostic and repair services are by far a more cost effective way to get your car air conditioning, climate control and heating working efficiently again.

R744 automotive air conditioning label

R744 as an automotive air conditioning refrigerant has finally arrived…

…and AVACS are ready

As one of the market leaders in servicing and repairing vehicle air conditioning systems, of course AVACS have invested in the technology. We can service, maintain and repair vehicles with R744 which is also known as CO2 air conditioning and climate control systems.

AVACS, as true car air conditioning and climate control specialists have invested in the new R744 (also known as CO2) automotive air conditioning market, and we have product knowledge.

It started with Mercedes Benz. First the S Class followed by the E Class models being fitted with this new type of R744 air conditioning.

Since then, Audi have installed it in some of their models and other brands are also following suit.

So cars with the new type of R744 refrigerant (CO2) have arrived onto the market over the past few years, and we are now seeing them within our repair centre.

Many are still wary of working on these new systems. The operating pressure of these systems is now around 70 Bar, and that can be off putting to the inexperienced and untrained.

But like everything at AVACS, it’s all about having a good working practice. Something we have always had and pride our business upon.

So in this ever changing world, you can rely upon AVACS to stay up to date and be equipped and ready for the new challenge.

If you own a vehicle that has R744 air conditioning (CO2) and it has failed or needs repairing or servicing, call AVACS to get it booked in for a diagnostic check and get it fixed.

What about all electric, self charging
and hybrid car air conditioning / climate control?

Hybrid car airconditioning repair logo

Yes, we service and repair all electric,
self charging and plugin hybrid cars

All Electric and Hybrid cars air conditioning and climate control systems are powered differently to that of vehicles with traditional petrol or diesel combustion engines.

All Electric and Hybrid vehicle air conditioning systems are powered from the high voltage electrical battery. Many car repairers lack the knowledge, experience or even confidence to service or repair electric or hybrid vehicles.

We at Avacs however do have the experience, and an abundance of knowledge to work on all electric and hybrid vehicles.

What our customer say

Mercedes ML350 – Air-conditioning Repair

If you have any sort of car air con issue go here first. Gary knows his stuff and will give you an honest appraisal of what needs doing and importantly what doesn’t. Mercedes told me I needed a new condenser for my 2012 ML350 at £850 fitted – Gary asked how they’d diagnosed that as he couldn’t see any uv dye in the system – he did a pressure test, added thr uv dye and regassed the system and then checked the following week that everything was OK – which it was. Saved me £720!!!!!!!

From Google Review 2019

Audi S8 – Heating / Climate Control System Repair

I had an issue with my Audi S8 climate control, no heating function. Contacted a few ‘Audi independent specialist’ and had a sharp intake of breathe. After some research on line discovered AVACS, contacted Gary and discussed the situation. He did no hesitate in informing me would investigate and be able to identify the issue with a view to rectifying/repairing. Delivered the car to AVACS workshop where the diagnostics were carried and informed it would take about a day or so. This was a couple of weeks ago. The climate control is now working really well, both the heating and cooling operating exceptionally well. If you have issues I would contact AVACS and discuss your issues. A very efficient and professional company that I thoroughly recommend.

Google Review – 2019

Audi A6 air conditioning problem

Having been to a local specialist garage, the air conditioning fault persisted. I was informed that they would probably have to remove the dashboard; at this stage I decided to do some internet research and happened upon your website.

When I arrived you diagnosed the fault very quickly, without the need to remove the dashboard you managed to replace the faulty valve. At the time you asked whether the system had been recharged recently, when I replied yes you stated that like many garages not enough drying time had been allowed.

Subsequently you re-gassed and dried the system for a full 45 mins rather than the usual 15-20 mins as many garages do. The result is an air conditioning system that performs superbly.

I will be recommending the local garages to refer to you when they are presented with problematic air conditioning.

Excellent work well done!

Porsche 911 996 air conditioning problem

I have a 911 996 which needed its air con refurbishing. I was really impressed with Gary who tested, diagnosed and rectified the problem quickly and with no fuss, bang on budget and on time!

Since June when it was fixed I have experienced no problems whatsoever and for an a/c system that is viewed as not particularly effective within the 911 family, I have to say I am really impressed with mine – it is incredibly effective and very cool when required.

Excellent work well done!

Audi TT – Air-conditioning Repair

Having had my air con problem diagnosed by Audi (incorrectly as it turned out) I took my Audi TT to AVACS for what I hoped would be a less expensive fix.

AVACS diagnosed the problem properly and did fix it, new condenser and recharge, for a lot less than Audi were quoting. And they wouldn’t even have solved the real issue!

AVACS were brilliant in their service and subject knowledge, even got a decent loan car to use. I’m still waiting for Audi to respond properly to my complaint of miss-diagnosis and potential overcharging for work that never would have needed doing.

If you need your air con sorted properly go to the experts and that’s AVACS!

BMW 320 Air Conditioning Issues

I am delighted with the level of service and repair that I received at AVACS to repair my BMW air conditioning.

After being told by a BMW main dealer that I needed new parts at a cost of £800, it was a wonderful surprise to learn from AVACS that I only needed the air conditioning system serviced, and no major new parts were required.

I left my BMW with them for the afternoon and whatever they did has repaired the air conditioning like it is new, and the horrible smell it used to make has completely gone!

I am absolutely delighted with the all round service, courtesy, honesty and above all, the price.

With all the optional extras that were agreed before work commenced. It came in at a fraction of the BMW main dealer cost and far superior level of customer care and service!
