Is keeping your cool costing you fuel? Nambour Brake & Service Centre (AU27467) are certified to handle all your automotive air conditioner regas, repairs, inspection, and servicing needs in Nambour and the surrounding areas. Modern vehicles are complex, and their air conditioning systems, much like their engines, contain components that require periodic servicing and replacement to ensure reliable performance and optimal functioning. It is important to monitor the rubber seals in your air conditioning system regularly for any signs of leakage or wear, as any reduction of refrigerant will force the system to work harder, leading to an Regularly inspecting the rubber seals in your air conditioning system for signs of leakage or wear is crucial. Any reduction in refrigerant forces the system to work harder, increasing fuel consumption. Symptoms of a failing AC system include reduced cooling efficiency, unusual noises during operation, a noticeable increase in fuel consumption, and the presence of unpleasant odours. To assess your AC system, check for cool air output, listen for any unusual noises when the system is running, and inspect for any visible leaks or damage around the components. Annual servicing of your car's air conditioning can protect you from expensive repairs, enhance passenger safety by removing hazardous buildup, and save you money by reducing fuel usage. Nambour Brake & Service Centre is committed to environmental care and holds Arctick Authorisation (AU27467) to responsibly conduct car air conditioning regas, repairs, inspections, and servicing. Book your car air conditioning service with the experts at Nambour Brake & Service Centre! Air conditioning FAQ How do air conditioners work? A car air conditioner system is composed of four essential parts : A belt-driven pump known as a compressor to compress and circulate gas. A radiator like unit called a condenser to redistribute heat and condense gas to a liquid. An expansion device, which could be a thermal expansion valve (TXV) or an orifice tube (subject to the kind of air-con system used). Some systems have an accumulator before the compressor to remove moisture from the refrigerant while TXV systems have a receiver-dryer before the evaporator performs the same crucial task. Both of these parts also store refrigerant. Car air conditioning is designed to pull the heat from the air within the car's interior area and transfer it outside, leaving only cooled or 'conditioned' air to be redistributed. Hot air is passed across a gas-filled evaporator, where the heat is easily absorbed by the refrigerant (in gas form), effectively removing the heat from the air in the car. The now heated gas is pulled through the compressor where it is further heated (via compression). The next stage involves the refrigerant being forced through the condenser to extract the refrigerant's heat quickly. The refrigerant, now condensed to a liquid, then moves through the expansion device (either a TXV or Orifice tube), which regulates the refrigerant's flow to the evaporator, changing the high-pressure liquid to a low-pressure mist (gas). A fan blowing over the evaporator's cold fins produces the cold air being blown into the car, and the entire process then begins all over again. Does the car air conditioner use more fuel? Yes! Your car air conditioning is using fuel. However, it's actually more fuel efficient to run car air conditioning than it is to have your windows down due to aerodynamic drag. If your air conditioning isn't performing its best, it may use more fuel to run. To avoid this, it's important that you have your air conditioning serviced regularly by professionals, like the ones at Nambour Brake & Service Centre.  What's the cause of the bad smell in car air conditioning? The damp environment can promote microbes, bacteria and even fungus growth inside the evaporator core. This can lead to nasty smells and possibly even be bad for the health of any vehicle occupants. Although modern evaporator units tend to be more efficient, they have more fins, meaning an increased capability to trap moisture and allow for micro-organism development. How do I know my car air conditioning is due for a service? If you cannot remember when your air conditioning was last serviced, perhaps it's time to book in with the team at Nambour Brake & Service Centre. You should also book in if: Your air conditioning system is blowing warm air There are damp patches or water stains under your dashboard Your car air conditioning system smells funny Your car air conditioning system is making strange noises There is weak air flow from the car air conditioning system Why does the car air conditioner need to be serviced? Car air conditioning is designed to pull the heat from the air within the interior area of the car outside, leaving only cooled or 'conditioned' air to be redistributed. This is achieved using a special compound called refrigerant, capable of readily absorbing heat as a gas and quickly losing heat as a liquid. The compressor needs the right amount of oil in the refrigerant to prevent it from seizing up. Should the air filters be jammed with dirt and bacteria, it will affect the entire system's performance, and it can even cause it to stop working altogether. On top of inhibiting air conditioner efficiency, dirty air filters can cause health problems. Being exposed to the elements and very diverse operating conditions and being used intermittently rather than being 'Always On' can cause decay of the hoses, connections and seals. A vehicle air conditioning system should be examined regularly to ensure there are no problems or refrigerant loss due to failure or leakage from these points. Simply by cooling the air in your car under normal running conditions, the air filters get dirty and intermittent use can cause seals to dry and crack, allowing them to leak. Even without leaks, the gas in a car air conditioning system will eventually begin to degrade or evaporate over time. It should be recharged as required to keep the air con system in peak running condition. How often should a car air conditioner be serviced? Your automotive air conditioning system needs to be examined once a year for any signs of problems with the seals, hoses and connections and confirm there is no refrigerant reduction over time. Regularly servicing your automotive air conditioner system keeps refrigerant at optimum levels meaning the system does not need to work as hard. This, in turn, protects the system from damage and minimises fuel expenditure. Can I service my own car air conditioner? Only qualified mechanics with the appropriate training, like the ones at Nambour Brake & Service Centre, should attempt to service a car air conditioner. Specific licences are required to service or repair some types of car air conditioning systems, especially where re-gas (recharging of the refrigerant) is concerned. Strict guidelines and procedures must be adhered to when handling certain refrigerants, which must always be fully recovered and not allowed to escape into the atmosphere during servicing. Refrigerant can also pose serious health risks if mishandled. Specialist equipment is also required as the air conditioning system is under extreme pressure and must be pulled into a deep vacuum to remove any moisture, to avoid seriously damaging the system. You can find out more about licensing on the Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) Website.

If your car is refusing to start or your battery keeps going flat, it may be time to let us examine your car's auto-electrics. Your local car service, Nambour Brake & Service Centre, can inspect and repair all your auto-electrical system issues in Nambour. What Comprises the Auto-Electrical System? The auto-electrical system consists of parts you may already know, all interlinked. When you turn the key, your battery sends out the power that the engine needs to start. The solenoid then delivers the power from the battery to the starter motor. Once the starter motor activates your engine, the alternator recharges the battery using power from the engine while you are driving. The auto-electrical system also includes: Voltage Regulator: Maintains the proper voltage level in the system. Fuse Panel: Contains the fuses for each electrical component in the car. Connectors and Wires: Connect everything together. How Can I Determine Which Part of the Auto-Electrics Is Problematic? Every part of the auto-electrical system is connected in some way, and if one part malfunctions, it can affect the others too. This interconnectedness makes it challenging to pinpoint the exact problem unless you are an auto-electrician. At Nambour Brake & Service Centre in Nambour, we are fully qualified auto-electrical experts. Our auto-electricians can diagnose and repair auto-electrical problems in all vehicle makes and models.

Revive Your Ride - Auto-Electrical Care

Electric vehicles (EVs) run on electricity stored in batteries, recharged through a power outlet, and have no tailpipe emissions. They require less maintenance because they have fewer moving parts. On the other hand, combustion engine vehicles, also known as petrol/diesel cars, run on fuel which is burnt in the engine to create power. Both types of vehicle require regular maintenance like oil changes and part replacements. Electric vehicles hold high voltages and specific PPE, special insulated tools and training are required to service them safely due to the risk of electrical shock. Just like with any modern vehicle, you need to choose the right workshop with qualified, trained technicians who have access to up to the minute diagnostic information and the right equipment and quality parts to service your EV. What do we check during an EV Service? 1. Battery inspection and replacement: Assessing the health of the electric vehicle (EV) battery, its charging capabilities, and replacement if needed. 2. Software updates: Regular upgrades to improve performance, security, and features. 3. Electrical system check: Inspecting all the electric components like lights, music system, and charging cables. 4. Brake system check: Regular check of brakes for safe driving. 5. Tyre service: Checking the tyre pressure, rotation, alignment, and tyre condition. 6. Motor service: Checking the electric motor for its performance and efficiency. 7. Cooling system service: Inspection and service of the cooling system to maintain battery temperature. 8. Safety checks: Regular inspections of airbags, seatbelts, and other safety features. As your local Repco Authorised Service centre Nambour Brake & Service Centre we have access to Repco AutoTech for the very latest in training and information and quality Repco parts and lubricants. Interested to learn more? Check out these frequently asked EV questions. How often does my electric car need to be serviced? An electric motor can last 15 to 20 years if used in normal conditions. But, with external components such as dirt, temperature changes and movement, it's important to service your car regularly to ensure that it’s safe and reliable.  What does an electric vehicle service include? Most services will include regular vehicle checks such as brakes, cabin air filters, shock absorbers, essential fluids e.g brake fluid and coolant, windscreen wiper blades, tyres and lights. 

The EV battery is also an importance part and should be regulary checked and replaced as needed. What sort of battery does my electric car need? This is dependant on the vehicle make and model. It is important that extreme caution should be excersied around these battery systems as they are complex and require specialist PPE and qualified technicians to complete. What is regenerative braking? Regenerative braking is where your EV’s kinetic energy is converted to electrical energy during braking and stored in the batteries. So, if you’ve got questions about purchasing or servicing an electric vehicle, Nambour Brake & Service Centre can help.

Electric vehicles or EV’s are still fairly new to Australian roads, however it is expected that the number of models available to choose from will increase rapidly as technology and infrastructure develops.
