There’s more that you can do to take care of your car.There’s plenty that can be done outside of service schedule to maintain a vehicle. Take a look at our advice sections below to find some general advice on car ownership as well as top tips and how to get the best value out of servicing and repairs.
Car Repair Advice
Ignoring a sign on the dashboard that there is a problem could lead to further damage and much more costly repairs. A car has many moving parts and if one of them breaks it can do damage to other parts along the way, this normally means there is a big difference in cost between replacing something that is about to break and replacing multiple parts that have broken.
About Car Servicing
Getting your car serviced each year and maintaining it between services is money well spent. Problems are likely to be caught early on when they’re cheaper to fix, and your car will have a better resale value and longer life. A well-maintained car is also more efficient, so you’ll save money on fuel as well.
If you are not sure if your car needs a service, check your log book which should provide details of service intervals and past service history.
About Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is now a standard feature fitted in most vehicles because motorists rely on it to provide both drivers and passengers with a fresh and comfortable environment inside their car. However the air conditioning system is often forgotten about by many consumers when looking to get their car serviced.
Much like other important systems within a car, it’s important for air conditioning to be regularly serviced and maintained to keep it running. Most air con systems should be serviced every six months to 1 year to keep them working at optimum levels and ensure greater efficiency with quicker comfort.
As with most car parts, over time they need replacing or repairing and the parts in an air conditioning system are no different. As well as parts, on average, refrigerant in an air con system will go down about 15% per annum and needs to be topped up.
An air conditioning service involves measuring the pressure of the system, ensuring the system is not contaminated and testing the quality of the refrigerant. An air conditioning system service with no faults should take around an hour. To work with air conditioning systems garage technicians need to be specially qualified, we ensure that GORDHAN GARAGE offering air con servicing has fully certified technicians to maintain the highest standards and ensure that all checks are made properly.

About Fault Diagnostics
When a warning light or lights illuminate on your dashboard, or your engine starts running rough, a diagnostics check can help identify the problem before more serious issues occur.
Most modern vehicles today contain on-board computer known as Electronic Control Module (ECUs) which continually monitors the performance of the vehicle sensors and reports back to the ECU if there are problems. When an issue is identified the ECU generates an error code. The relevant dashboard warning lights will then be displayed.
There are literally hundreds of potential error codes that can only be read with a highly skilled team of technicians with years of experience and dedication at diagnosing and repairing vehicle system faults.
