Your vehicle’s air conditioning system keeps the cabin cool, demists windows and maintains comfortable driving conditions year-round. Over time, refrigerant levels drop and components can wear, leading to reduced performance or unpleasant odours.
Regular air conditioning servicing includes refrigerant recharging, leak detection and system inspections. This prevents compressor damage and maintains efficient cooling performance.
We service and repair modern R134a and R1234yf systems, ensuring clean, efficient air flow and optimal comfort in all seasons.
Air Conditioning and Climate Control Check-up
Auto Service & Tuning Centre’s car air con and climate control check-up services in Hitchin involve a visual inspection and the collection of temperature and pressure readings, giving insight into the condition of your vehicle’s aircon system. Following a check-up, our experienced technicians will analyse these readings, and suggest potential issues with the car aircon system accordingly. Common issues detected by check-ups include depleted refrigerant levels and leaks.
Our technicians will provide estimated quotes for repair or servicing where required, allowing you to make a fully informed decision regarding your vehicle’s aircon system.
Air Conditioning and Climate Control Service
Regular servicing is the best way to ensure your vehicle’s aircon or climate control system is performing optimally. The degradable nature of both the filter and the refrigerant gas can lead to a decrease in performance in as little as a year. For this reason, most manufacturers recommend servicing your car air con at least every two years.
Auto Service & Tuning Centre’s full car air con service package includes extensive checks systemwide. Our technicians work to ensure that seals are sufficiently lubricated, refrigerant gases are fully replenished, disposable filters are replaced if necessary, pressure levels are correct, and the entire system is leak-free.

Air Con FAQs
Air conditioning systems benefit from an annual check, or as recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. This ensures refrigerant levels, filters, and components are working properly and helps maintain optimal performance.
No it’s not. Air conditioning servicing is typically handled separately from a standard service or MOT. It’s a specialised procedure that often includes system diagnostics, refrigerant checks and re-gassing.
Musty or sour smells often come from bacteria or mould build-up on the evaporator or within the ducting. Cabin air filter blockage and moisture can also contribute to unpleasant odours.
Warm air blowing from your car’s vents can be caused by low refrigerant due to leaks, blocked components like the condenser, or a faulty compressor. Regular servicing helps keep refrigerant levels correct and identifies leaks early.
