Get a great-value Air-Conditioning Recharge with Who Can Fix My Car.
BRILLIANT. i was put in touch with Pool street garage and i spoke to a mechanic on the phone. He suggested i bring my van round so he could have a look before quoting me a price. When i arrived he greeted me with a hand shake and addressed me as Mr Woolliscroft. He put the van over a pit and inspected all the front suspension. He called me over, showed me what the problem was and explained in easy to understand terms what needed to be done. I was very happy with the price, i gave them a day that would be most convenient and they gave me a time. The work was completed in about 1 1/2 hrs while i did some Christmas shopping in town. I was very impressed with the service and i will definitely be going back for any other work/servicing etc. Highly recommend
Well what can we say except .....WOW. This is how a garage should be run. Main dealerships take note! Mark the mechanic who came to do the job on my husband’s car couldn’t have been nicer. He can’t do enough for his customers and it’s a first class service. Kept informed at every stage and before work proceeded made sure we were happy. You have found new customers as we shall be back for the MOT and anything else that needs doing. Would definitely recommend this garage from the reaction staff to the mechanics ..... a very well oiled machine business.

Absolutely delighted with the friendly and professional service from the Gents here in Hanley. I would certainly recommend them for a full service. Quality control checked, never pushy at any point, and good impartial advice given. What more can you ask for really! Thanks Lads!

Called the garage to book in and they got me in straight away with no problems. Easy communication and great service. Price was exactly as quoted and Air Con Regassed with no problems at all. Defo will use again soon. Cheers Jordan
Although I couldn’t have my Van regarded initally it was due to a blockage in my pipes & there was no charge. I booked my Van In to have to work done & from the girls in the office to the Mechanics - Nothing was too much trouble & I was given a courtesy car too . I will Defo be going back to this Garage in the future as it was made painless from start to finish. Thank You
The mechanic was unable to regas my a/c because he found that the condenser radiator was leaking. He explained what was faulty and did not charge me for this. I will definately take my car back there when i have replaced the rad.

The majority of modern cars have air conditioning fitted as standard as it is vital for making the ride in a car comfortable for passengers.
An air conditioning system works by using refrigerant gas to push air through several components in the aircon system and then into your car.
Whether its freezing cold or boiling hot, it’s your air conditioning which makes driving in such conditions bearable, so it’s important to look after the system!
Surprisingly, over 10% of air-con gas escapes through the system each year. This means that the power of the system drops significantly over time. However, your air conditioning will not be checked during an MOT or service which is why it’s important that you make an effort to have it checked specifically.
Car manufacturers recommend that cars should have their air con recharged (Regassed) every two years.
Even if your car is new it should be something that you have checked as your cars performance could be significantly affected.
This is because the engine will have to work harder to produce cold air if there is an issue with the air conditioning meaning more fuel will be required to make the system work.
If the system has not been recharged in two years, the drop in engine performance will be noticeable.
As soon as you realise a drop in the power of your air con you should take the vehicle in for repair. If there is an unpleasant smell being emitted, this is another sign that the air con needs looking at.
The job of recharging air conditioning is not complex and will not take long.
The mechanic will carry out a leaks check on the air con system before the repair work, to ensure the job can be carried out without causing damage to the car.
As soon as this is complete, the technician will be able to recharge the system.
The mechanic carrying out the work will first remove old refrigerant from your car as well as the current gas and lubricant.
They will then replace it with new gas and lubricants.
The job will also typically include an entire system clean out which is carried out to remove any bacterial build up.
This is often the reason for a strange or unpleasant smell being emitted from the air conditioning which is why it is important to have this job completed every two years.
The whole process should take around 45 minutes as there are no new parts required for install.
The air conditioning in your car should be noticeably improved after a regas if you haven’t had one for over two years.
If you want to ensure your air conditioning stays in tip top condition, make sure to use it regularly as this the compressor will stay lubricated.
