Thompsons Auto Repairs (AU28144) are the best choice to perform all your Car Air Conditioner Regas, Repairs, Inspection or Servicing needs in Port Pirie and the surrounding areas.

Today's vehicles are intricate machines, and much like the engine, your car's air conditioning system comprises various parts that require periodic maintenance or replacement. Regular servicing of these components is essential to guarantee that the air conditioner remains dependable and operates efficiently. Proper upkeep not only ensures your comfort but also extends the lifespan of the system, preventing costly repairs down the road. So, whether it’s the compressor, refrigerant, or filters, timely attention to these elements is crucial for the optimal performance of your vehicle's climate control.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

When refrigerant escapes due to evaporation or leakage, your air conditioning system's efficiency starts to decline. Consequently, the system has to exert more effort to cool your vehicle, potentially leading to an increased consumption of fuel, particularly for smaller engine cars. This not only diminishes the performance of your air conditioning but can also negatively impact your fuel economy. Ensuring your refrigerant levels are properly maintained can prevent these issues, keeping your air con system running smoothly and economically.

Consequently, it is crucial to routinely inspect the state of the rubber gaskets for any indications of wear, leaks, or deterioration. These issues could potentially lead to the escape of refrigerant, impacting the efficiency and performance of your cooling system. Regular checks ensure the seals maintain their integrity, preventing costly repairs and maintaining optimal functionality.

By getting a car air conditioning service every 12 months you may help protect your system from costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced car air conditioner actually saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel being burned.

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Thompsons Auto Repairs in Port Pirie today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Thompsons Auto Repairs in Port Pirie we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Thompsons Auto Repairs can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:

For a qualified Log Book Service at a competitive price, contact us at Thompsons Auto Repairs or book online. Thompsons Auto Repairs are conveniently located at 19 Wandearah Road and service customers in Port Pirie and the surrounding areas.
