Air conditioning weakens slowly, so many drivers only notice once summer hits. Our recharge and service restores that icy-cold air quickly - and the machine tells us if a leak or failed compressor is the real problem before we spend your money on gas alone.
Booked while you wait in our Walsall workshop, we check pressures, refrigerant levels and the cabin filter so your air conditioning actually stays cold. Call to check today's availability.
Based in central Walsall, Marlows Tyre and Valeting looks after drivers across the Black Country. Choose your area to see local availability, or visit us at the depot - most jobs are finished within the hour.
Refrigerant leaks down slowly through seals and hoses - typically ten to fifteen percent a year - even when you rarely use the system. After two years of that, the machine produces warm air and the compressor works harder, so a regas every couple of years keeps both running efficiently.
Our machine measures pressures and operation, which catches leaks and failing compressors before they become big bills. We can also replace the cabin filter for fresher, cleaner cabin air - cold only feels good if it smells good.
Every two years is a good rule - refrigerant leaks down slowly over time even when the system is unused.
The recharge machine logs pressures and operation - if something deeper is wrong we tell you honestly before charging you for a fix.
