Air Conditioning Servicing

When you arrange an car air conditioning servicing with GM Tyre Shop, your air conditioning system is in for a treat. 

Over the years, car air conditioning systems become more and more saturated, until eventually reaching the point where they do very little beyond draining your car battery.

Your air conditioning unit is a key part of your vehicle, and, just like any other key component, should be serviced on a regular basis. 

What’s included in an air conditioning service? 

Our air conditioning engineers will examine all parts of your air conditioning unit, identifying any leaks, topping up the refrigerant gas, and vacuuming the system to improve efficiency.

We offer air conditioning services on all cars, vans, 4x4s and more, including hybrid and electric vehicles right here in our Govan workshop in Glasgow City Centre.

Air conditioning Cleaning

Air conditioning cleaning from GM Tyre Shop will remove 99% of the bacteria that has built up within your air con system and ensure the blast of cool air entering your vehicle smells as fresh as a daisy.

Air conditioners can start to smell a bit funky over time, and its not just your nose that might be suffering. The bacteria growth that a build up of debris and liquid can cause can cause breathing issues and generally make your vehicle a pretty unhealthy place to be. 

Have your air con unit cleaned and you can relax, enjoying the cool air breeze of your air conditioner in peace.

Our Top Air conditioning Tips

Aside from getting a bi-annual air conditioning system service with GM Tyre Shop, here our our top air conditioning tips for keeping your car’s air conditioning units is top condition and maximise its effectiveness.

Close the Windows 

We get it. The temptation to open the window and enjoy a cool breeze during the summer to boost the effects of the car air con is strong.

Try to resist this urge, all this does is waste the cool air being produced (and your fuel) by sending it straight back out to where it came from.

Remember to recharge your Air Con 

Air con gas needs to be topped up just like the oil or any other key liquid in your vehicle. We ensure that lubricant and refrigerant levels are at the ideal level during our air con recharge and air con servicing services.

An air con service and recharge is recommended every 2 years, but it is worth checking the vehicle manufacturers handbook just to be sure.

Beware Nasty Smells

If you notice unpleasant smells coming from your air conditioning system, it could just need a clean, or there could be an underlying issue.

Either way, the air conditioning experts at GM Tyre shop are here to help. A build up of dust or grime can lead to pretty nasty odours leaking through your vents and cause bacteria to grow that can be harmful to you and your passengers.
