Air Conditioning Service'; nn+='

Over 65% of vehicles are fitted with air conditioning and climate control systems as standard these days. Many of us are familiar with using air-con in our car'; nn+=' on both hot and cold days, but many people are unaware the air-conditioning system needs regular attention to make sure it is working efficiently.

'; nn+='Over 10% of air-con gas permeates from the system every year, which means that it may not work as well as it should. This is why car manufacturers'; nn+=' recommend your Air-Con system is recharged with gas and lubricant every three years. This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing, so if your vehicle'; nn+=' is more than three years old it's probably due a recharge, possibly at the same time that your MOT test is carried out.

'; nn+='Midhurst Engineering offers a complete air conditioning recharge service. Operated on a drive-in basis there is usually'; nn+=' no need for an appointment, but you may wish to book an appointment using our online booking service. Within an hour the whole recharge process is completed.'; nn+=' The process can also include a system de-bug to clear bacterial build up from within the system, which will remove any unpleasant odours.

On one hand, as a small, independent garage, a Unipart Car Care Centre can offer you that rare thing these days - a genuinely friendly, genuinely personal service. On the other, a Unipart Car Care Centre enjoys the backing of Unipart. Meaning that, in addition to first class mechanics and a well-equipped workshop, a Unipart Car Care Centre can offer you the widest possible selection of top quality parts - all at highly competitive prices.

"); msg.document.write("

Another good reason for choosing us is that we provide a unique 12 month/12,000 mile warranty on parts and labour which is honoured at all Unipart Car Care Centres nationwide. There are currently over 2,000, which ensures that there is a Unipart Car Care Centre within 5 miles of the vast majority of UK motorists.
