<label for="check-1"><h3><strong>1.</strong>What's included?<i></i></h3></label>
<article>
<p>The Air Con Pre Inspection includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>A temperature check</li>
<li>A refrigerant check</li>
<li>A thorough inspection of the system's key components, including the compressor, condenser, drive belts and hoses</li>
<li>A leak test (using nitrogen)</li>
</ul>
<p>Once complete, our team will give you the option of a full air con service for an additional cost of £50 for R134a refrigerant and £110 for the newer R1234yf gas. We will replace and recharge lubricant and refrigerant levels in line with your manufacturer's recommendation.</p>
<p>If, during the inspection, we discover a fault, leak or component damage, our helpful technicians will discuss the recommended repairs with you, and provide a no obligation quote before any work is carried out. </p>
<p style="color:red; font-weight:700;">Please note:</p><p>There is a possibility if the compressor is not working and there is little gas left, the non-functioning compressor would not be diagnosed until after the car has been re-gassed. If this is the case you will not be charged for the re-gas and will be provided with a quote to repair the compressor. </p>
