Why Car Air Conditioning Repair Is Important
A regular car air conditioning service ensures car air-con systems remain in top condition! Car AC systems are vitally important to the safety and comfort of drivers on the road. They enable the operation of demisters which help reduce humidity within the cabin and clear up a foggy windscreen. Therefore, a professional air conditioning service is an essential service that all car owners should consider every few years to ensure their safety and comfort on the road.
Here’s how Natrad will perform your car air conditioning service and repair:
- One of our auto air conditioning technicians will connect the car to a charging station to measure system pressures and begin diagnosing the problem.
- The car’s entire air conditioning or climate control system will be inspected to locate any failed components and determine if any other parts have suffered damage or contamination.
- Refrigerant gas found in the system will be extracted and stored before parts are removed for replacement or cleaning.
- With the air conditioning system reassembled, the correct amount of refrigerant and oil will be added.
For the highest quality service in automotive air conditioning, nip into Natrad. We have workshops across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Gold Coast and Adelaide.

‘After taking my 2007 Commodore back to the Holden dealer many times and being told that the air conditioner was fine, I finally got some good advice to take it to Natrad at Eaglehawk. They were fantastic, and I’m sure that the amount of time they spent on it didn’t reflect in the final bill. I feel like I have a new car. I am now telling anyone who will listen that if they have any air conditioning problems that Natrad Eaglehawk is the place to go. Thanks Glenn and the team.’

How often should you recharge your car air-con?

How much does a new air conditioning compressor cost?
Sometimes when the compressor fails, it can distribute fine metal dust particles throughout the entire air conditioning system. Repairs in this situation are more costly as other parts need to be replaced or cleaned. The only way to obtain a true repair cost is to inspect the air conditioning system by a qualified technician.
-
How often should I get my car air conditioning system checked?
Ideally, you should get your car air conditioning system checked every year before the weather kicks off. If you have a newer vehicle, you should have it checked at least every two years.
The Australian summer is far too hot to suffer long drives without crisp air conditioning. Fortunately, Natrad’s car air conditioning repair service will have you cool, calm, and collected all year ’round.
