Turn your A/C System on for a minimum of 5 minutes each week even in the cooler months. This will ensure the system remains well lubricated and can help prevent seals from drying and reduce refrigerant leaks.

The short answer is YES and NO. People often tend to choose the cheaper option. There are good quality alternatives in a lot of circumstances. We sell original and premium quality parts. Tested and all come with warranty. 

If the only issue is a leaking A/C Condenser and the Filter/Drier is built within the condenser itself, then under most circumstances no other parts will need to be replaced. If, however you have a separate receiver/Drier then that should be replaced at the time a new Condenser has been fitted.

A cars A/C System can give trouble-free performance for many years. However, it is recommended your vehicle’s Air Conditioning system be serviced every year and the Receiver/Drier replaced every 5years.

It is highly recommended you do not continue to drive your vehicle if the A/C Compressor is defective in any way.
