Our beautiful country roads and green gardens, and the dust and leaves wicked off each, once accumulated can act like a blanket over the condenser and radiator in your car. As you can imagine, this diminishes efficiency by insulating the components and making them work harder. At our Auckland branches, we find that this is not nearly as often something we see, instead,...

Hence, it is CoolCar’s policy to accurately diagnose the vehicle and repair the fault, before we re-gas it. Modern-day vehicles are designed like a vacuum, in order to cycle the same refrigerant over and over, until a fault or leak occurs so that harmful refrigerant cannot enter the environment. If your vehicle’s air-conditioning system is faulty, and you suspect that it is low on refrigerant, or requ...

Should anyone propose using a ‘green’ or ‘environmentally friendly’ refrigerant that isn’t the approved refrigerant for your car –– be very concerned.The approved refrigerants are Freon R12, R134a or R1234yf.If you are told the refrigerant being used is a hydrocarbon, more efficient than the proper stuff or just cheaper, be on guard and ask if it is one of the app...
