Complete Vehicle Air Conditioning Service
Autokool Services
We aim to keep the air conditioning system of your vehicle going as well as it was originally designed to work.
We service all cars including regular British, European, Japanese, American and sports cars.
AUTOKOOL Ltd handles both older R12 refrigerant gas systems (pre-1992 approx) as well as all modern R134a refrigerant systems. For the older R12 systems it is now impossible, due to environmental legislation, to offer this gas type. Our solution is to offer a true 'drop in' replacement to R12 known as RS24 or isceon 49. This refrigerant solves the problem and considerable expense of having to completely retrofit your system to work with R134a refrigerant. We can however if you wish fully convert your sytem over to accomodate the widely available R134a refrigerant. This service is particularly usefull to clients wishing to keep ther cars inperfect conditin for the warmer summer months.
We use a highly sophisticated gas analyser to check your own existing system gas and can identify the type (correct or otherwise) and its state of purity. If contaminated we can recover this gas and dispose of it safely, protecting the environment and meeting with all current legislation. Alternatively if your gas is pure enough we are able to recover and recycle it thus saving you money in the process.
Our modern workshop facilities utilise a fully automatic refrigerant, recycycling and recharging machine allowing full system diagnostics and printouts to be produced.
A variety of leak testing techniques are available at our disposal including high pressure testing using environmentally safe pure Oxygen free Nitrogen, Ultra Violet dye and an electronic refrigerant sniffer.
We can apply these individually or if necessary collectively to ensure we find and cure any elusive leaks.
Access to specialist parts suppliers ensures we can locate the right part for your vehicle, usually within 72 hours if we do not stock it ourselves.We offer a full fitting service and can accomodate most requests to suit your busy schedule.
