¤ ADDITIONAL ON-VEHICLE SERVICES ¤

>>Leak Detection Service; Service Cost £40.00

During the course of a service, the Nitrogen high pressure or Vacuum leak tests may indicate that the system is leaking. Finding the leak(s) can be very time consuming and hence costly to the customer.

Go-Cool Services is able to locate most leaks in approximately one hour. To be fair to both parties we will only charge the fixed amount of £40.00 (equivalent to one hour labour charge )to find the leak(s), even if it takes us longer than one hour. This charge is in addition to any other service charges.

This service uses a variety of methods to locate the leak(s). Once the leak(s) have been found we can then provide an estimate of parts and labour costs to correct, before the final gas Re-Charge can take place.

LATEST LEAK TESTING UPDATE: We are in a position to offer the very latest method for leak testing using a high pressure leak test using a special gas mix of Nitrogen/Hydrogen and specialist Hydrogen sniffer. This method has proved to be extremely reliable at detecting microscopic leaks which other methods are unable to locate. This special gas mix allows a totaly legal and safe way of locating leaks and ensures your system is repaired and re-gassed in the most professional manner.

Note: It is illegal for anyone to Re-Charge a vehicle with a known leak.

>>Ultra-Violet (UV) Dye Service ; Service cost £45.00

This service simply involves the injection of a special UV dye into a working system. The UV dye circulates with the oil and gas in the system and can provide an early warning of a future leak thus helping to prevent more costly repairs.The use of a UV dye is particularly good when trying to detect suspected 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.

>>De-Odorising/Anti-Bacterial Treatment Service; Service Cost £40.00.

Due to the very nature of the air conditioning operation fungus and bacteria can actually 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", whereby not only is an offensive smell given off whenever the air conditioning is switched on , but also occupants can feel sick or contract ear,nose and throat infections from your system.

We treat the evaporator and entire car interior using specialised equipment, as approved by a well known German car manufacturer, killing all the bugs and leaving your aircon smelling sweetly. Treatment time 20 minutes.

Although this treatment has proved to be successful in the majority of cases for up to one year after treatment there are exceptions. No refunds are offered on this service if it fails to clear your problem.A second treatment may be offered, however if the first treatment failed within a short period of time, less than 1 month, it would suggest you need more radical cleansing i.e. a system strip down to clean the evaporator itself. This can be offered as a service but will be assesed and estimated for costs on an individual vehicle basis. Most vehicle evaporators are very difficult to access!!

>>Leak-Sealant Service; Treatment cost £65.00.

Where a leak test shows up a very small leak it may be possible to fix this type of leak by using a special leak-sealant injected into the air conditioning system. 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. This leak repair option will only work for very small leaks. Major leaks need to be dealt with in the proper manner by replacing the faulty parts.

NOTE: The Leak-Sealant Service can only be carried out as part of an Air Conditioning System Service.Please note that a refund on a failed Leak-Sealant Service is not possible.

¤ CONTAMINATED GAS WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICE ¤

Services involving the removal of contaminated gas may incur a charge of £15.00 per kilogram of gas recovered for waste disposal.

It is illegal (EPA Act 1990) to vent refrigerant gases (contaminated or otherwise) to the atmosphere and the only way to dispose of them safely is through incineration in special treatment plants (which costs money).

Note: We can also arrange for disposal of trade bulk gas waste at reduced pricing per kilogram and issue waste disposal notes to comply with legislation.
