CoolCar are specialists in vehicle air-conditioning evaluation, repairs, servicing, sales, installation, pollen filters and deodorisation.

Evaluation

Bring your vehicle in for an examination of your air-conditioning system. We will let you know what work, if any, is needed.

Repairs

If you’re having problems with your vehicle air-conditioning, e.g. it’s not working or it’s smelly, we will recommend the repairs needed. We will give you an estimate and update you if the work looks likely to go over that amount.

Servicing

Vehicle air-conditioning systems need regular servicing to remain at their best. It’s similar to the regular servicing of your car. We recommend you have your air-conditioning checked every 12 months, and serviced every second year.

Refrigerants

We are able to work on R12 (Freon), R134a and R1234YF (Opteon YF) systems.

Installation

We install vehicle air-conditioning systems in all types of vehicles. We’ll give you expert advice on which system is best for your vehicle.

Pollen filters

Pollen filters reduce pollen, dust, smog and other irritants coming into your vehicle. They also help protect your air-conditioning system from being clogged up by pollutants.

Deodorisation

This service removes smells from your vehicle which can be caused by mould, mildew and other causes. We deodorise both your air-conditioning system and any smells within the vehicle itself.

CoolCar Air-Conditioning Centres provide a full range of services to ensure your vehicle heating runs at its best.

As part of our services, we provide auto-electrical services. They are often a necessary part of air-conditioning repair.

An excellent understanding of auto-electrical systems is needed to be able to diagnose and repair air-conditioning systems.

On modern vehicles, we use advanced auto-electrical diagnostic systems. For some vehicles, even in the absence of an auto-electrical fault, our technicians need auto-electrical systems to be able to communicate with both your car’s engine management system and its air-conditioning system.

With some cars, it is not possible to re-gas the air-conditioning, after diagnosis and repair of any problems, without an auto-electrical tool.

Our knowledge and experience mean you receive the best.

In addition to all the other CoolCar services, CoolCar Hamilton and CoolCar North Shore also sell and service portable fridge-freezers.

Check out this great review from happy campers Rosemary and Peter in the NZ Motorhome & Caravan Forum.

You can use these portable fridge-freezers almost anywhere. They are great in the back of your vehicle for keeping food and drinks chilled.

We sell Engel and Dometic portable fridge-freezers.

We service and repair most makes and models of 12/24/240V portable fridge-freezers including Engel, Dometic, Waeco, Electrolux, Nova Cold, Norcold, Mobicool, Vitrifrigo and Indel B.

Servicing

When we service your fridge-freezer, a pre-paid inspection fee of $115 applies. This inspection fee will be refunded if your warranty is accepted by the supplier.

You will need to bring your proof of purchase with you to make a claim and the fault needs to meet the supplier’s definition of a manufacturing defect.

Note: wiring faults and power supply problems are not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
