CoolCar Onehunga incorporates the business, Morrison Diesel a long-standing specialist diesel and general mechanical workshop for cars, 4WD, and trucks.  See them in their spacious workshop at 30 Selwyn Street Onehunga.

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.

Leak Detection

We use refrigerant leak detectors, sensitive Lok-Trace forming gas leak detection and UV dye to help identify system leaks when we find low refrigerant.  This allows us to find and fix leaks prior to re-gassing.

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

We recommend you have your air-conditioning checked every couple of years before minor problems turn into big problems and have your cabin filter changed annually.

Refrigerants

We are able to work on R12 (Freon), R134a and R1234YF (Opteon YF) systems. Talk to us about your R744 (CCO2) system requirements.

Refrigerant Identification

We use Neutronics Refrigerant Identifiers to check what refrigerant is in your vehicle checking for contamination with non-approved refrigerants, like flammable hydrocarbons and also, air.

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 due to mould, mildew and other causes including rodents.  We deodorise both you air-conditioning system and any smells within the vehicle itself.  Treatments may include ozone and antibacterial/antifungal treatments like Bacti-gas.

Auto Electrical

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 tools.  For some vehicles, even in the absence of an auto electrical fault, our technicians need 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 scan tool.

Our knowledge and experience mean you receive the best expertise with you vehicle’s complex electronic systems.

Repairs involved may include diagnosing faulty relays, fan speed resistors and blower fan faults, a burnt clutch wire to the compressor, other wiring faults, controller faults, cooling fan faults, sensor and thermistor faults to name a few.

Wet carpets

We are able to identify and solve the cause of wet carpets inside your vehicle.  Whether from the blocked evaporator drain or a leaking heater core.
