Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Your car could be making you and your family feel sick, tired, stressed out and irritable. Having your vehicle regularly serviced and inspected at Prime Auto Care in Lonsdale could make all the difference. Does any of that sound familiar? The environment in your car can do a lot to contribute to the attitude of everyone who rides in it - including you.

Did you know, the air inside our cars has been found to have a much higher concentration of pollutants than the air just outside the vehicle - up to 10 times, in some cases?

Or that a build-up of bacteria in your car’s vents can cause horrible smells that not only make trips in the car unpleasant but can also cause health issues. Suspension, steering and wheel alignment issues can mean you get tired faster if you're out on the road for long periods. Even if it's just a lot of short trips around Lonsdale, struggling with the steering wheel can take its toll on your energy levels. It's not always obvious just how much extra effort you are putting into steering and parking because the gradual decline of these things often goes unnoticed. There are many issues which all contribute to just how toxic the environment in your car could be - if you would like to read a more comprehensive list visit our Family Taxi page on repcoservice.com Shock absorber and suspension testing, wheel alignment and balancing - To help you have better control on the road and plus reduce driver fatigue and car sickness. Cabin Air Filter replacement - Ask us to inspect your cabin air filter - it might be dirtier than you expect well before your log book suggests a replacement, and if it is full of dust or contaminates it's not working effectively - a cabin air filter replacement will immediately have you breathing cleaner air by filtering out pollen and other particles. Take clean air a step further and ask about our MiST™ service which kills any existing mould or bacteria on contact and prevents new mould growth throughout your vehicles ventilation system. Reduce your stress levels with the peace of mind that comes with our 65 point vehicle inspection report - knowing your vehicle is in good condition goes a long way to helping you relax behind the wheel. Our report helps identify any required maintenance issues before they become an expensive, unexpected breakdown that could put added strain on your day and on the household budget. Wiper Blade Replacement, it might seem like a simple thing - but we often forget until it's too late - and not having clear vision on those awful rainy days can really add to your worries about being out in those conditions. Brake Testing. It happens, sometimes we have to hit the brakes suddenly. Knowing that your brakes are in their best condition and ready to work when you really need them means you can worry less and focus better. We can test your brakes and advise you on the right pad for your driving style and conditions. We are part of Repco Authorised Service, Australia's largest network of independent car service workshops and with that comes the added peace of mind of a Nationwide Warranty. So, book your next service online with Prime Auto Care today and help keep your family taxi, family friendly.
