– With the vehicle running the temperature is checked at the vent for temperature readings.
– The Air conditioning machine is connected to the vehicle and with the vehicles, Air-conditioning system working the system pressure is checked. (System pressure indicates the condition of the health of the system).
– A recycle procedure is performed and the amount of refrigerant extracted is measured and compared to the vehicle specifications/technical data.

Book nowLike all servicing with your car, the air-conditioning system can pick up issues early and prevent additional damage that could be caused if the system was to run out of gas or other issues occur.
We recommend newer cars, less than 10 years old have their air conditioning system serviced every 2 years and cars older than 10 years every year. This is because as vehicles age they have a greater chance of leakages as the components deteriorate.
Most of the time if your air conditioning isn’t working it is probably because the gas has leaked out. We need to find out where it has leaked from prior to charging the system with gas. It is illegal to regas the system with a known leak, due to the effect on the environment.
The system is checked as in the service described above including the computer scan, pressure testing the system, visually inspecting all hoses, joints, connections and other air conditioning hardware. Once the leak is found we will advise you if there is any additional cost to repairing the leak prior to proceeding.
Once the leak is repaired we recharge the system with appropriate amounts of oil and gas (R134a) according to the vehicle specification. A dye is added to the gas in order to detect leaks in the future. Other problems may also occur with the hardware components that make up the air-conditioning system causing the system to fail in operation. If this is the case we will discuss with you the options and prices for the work required.
We believe that if you are claiming quality work it must be backed up and the only way to do this is by the guarantee you offer. All parts that we fit to your car a covered by a minimum 12 month 25,000km warranty; if it fails we replace it no charge what so ever; many of our car repairs and services come with a two year or 50,000km warranty. We are so confident in the systems and processes we have in place that if it wasn't done correctly the first time the repair is redone at no cost to you.

Aussie Tune subscribes to the following technical information sources; Autodata and Autopedia who offer required information such as; manufacturer specific service schedules, wiring diagrams, diagnostic procedures, torque specifications and repair procedures.We regularly attend training clinics and technical information seminars. The owner Nigel has twice traveled to the USA for in depth training in vehicle electronics in Texas and Hybrid vehicle repair in Boston.
The short answer is quality parts. We use a mix of genuine and aftermarket parts but only those that are covered by a minimum 12/25,000km warranty and which are sold be suppliers who back their products.
In order to provide quality service and repairs to the modern car you need the right tools and many of them.

Yes we offer the ability to pay through Zip pay or Zip Money. See Zip website for terms and conditions.
Our policy is no, we do not fit parts supplied by customers as we want to be able to warranty our work and when the parts are supplied it becomes messy if there is a warranty issue. It keeps it much clearer if we provide both parts and labor.
