Longstone Kia - Edinburgh's Air Conditioning Specialists

Our Engineers at Longstone Have over 25 Years Experience working with Motor vehicle Air Conditioning Systems, and We Can Offer You Servicing Charging and Electrical Diagnostics For All Makes of Vehicles.

INSPECTION REPORT
Our System Inspection and Report offers you a detailed report on the state of the air conditioning. This service includes Refrigerant Pressure Analysis, Static and Operating Pressure measurements; In-Car Temperature Analysis. Also, checks are carried out on the pollen filter, compressor clutch & drive belt, condenser & fan, filter Dryer/accumulator system and an estimate of the costs of any remedial work.

ULTRA VIOLET LEAK DETECTION SERVICE
This service involves the use of a special UV dye injected into the system during the Recharge procedure. This test is particularly useful when trying to detect leaks in the internal (under dash) evaporator unit. It is the most reliable way of determining a problem with this major part, without spending hours (at great cost) to remove an evaporator only to find it is not at fault.

Cost Of System Re-Charge, Leak Detection and Inspection Report: £65.00 Plus Vat.

(R134a Systems, Vehicles from '94 onwards)

ANTI-BACTERIAL SERVICE
The intrinsic nature of the air conditioning operation means that fungus and bacteria can build up on the internal evaporator of the car (situated under the dashboard).

This build up of bacteria can result in what is commonly known as "sick car syndrome". Not only is an offensive smell given off whenever the air conditioning is switched on , but occupants can feel sick or contract ear, nose and throat infections from your system.

The potential for streptococcal infections from contaminated Air Conditioning systems has been recognized for years particularly in California where the infection occurs all year round and is widely referred to as strep throat.

We treat the evaporator with a specially formulated Air Conditioner anti-bacterial spray that kills all the bugs and leaves your air conditioning smelling sweet.

INSTANT LEAK SEALANT SERVICE
Where a leak test shows up a very small leak it may be possible to fix this type of leak by using a special sealant injected into the air conditioning system during the recharge procedure.

This sealant is specially formulated for Air Conditioning systems (both old and new) to seal existing leaks, and remains in the system to seal any future leaks.

Please note - the leak repair option will only work for very small leaks and should be approached with caution. Major leaks need to be dealt with in the proper manner by replacing the faulty parts. We will advise as appropriate and customers should recognize that there is a degree of uncertainty attached to this treatment. Once attempted we regret that we can not refund the cost of this procedure if it fails to fix the problem.
