Tip of the Day
Why does my air conditioning seem less efficient?
Over a period of time, air conditioning systems can lose some (or sometimes all) of their effectiveness. This is mainly caused by drivers not using the system all year round and, of course, not understanding the importance of regular servicing. Most vehicle manufacturers advise running the air conditioning system at least once a week throughout the year.
The biggest problem by far is loss of the system’s refrigerant. Most air conditioning systems have a seepage rate of around 10% a year but this can increase dramatically in systems which are not used for long periods. This is particularly so during the winter months due to an increase in expansion and contraction of components.
Operating a system with a low level of refrigerant not only places the system under strain as it struggles to achieve the desired temperature but, as the lubricant is carried around the system by the refrigerant, can also lead to serious (not to mention expensive) problems such as a seized compressor.
As well as delivering cold air, the air conditioning evaporator also acts as a wet filter, removing pollutants from the air before they enter the passenger compartment. In systems which are not used regularly, the heater box is an excellent place for bacteria to multiply leading to unpleasant odours when the system is used.
An air conditioning health check can easily be carried out (when the vehicle is serviced for example.) Chemical treatments are available to remove any bacterial growth and systems can then be recharged as necessary with any faults or leaks located and repaired before a potentially expensive failure occurs.

Finding a reliable and trustworthy garage for car servicing and repairs can be a hit or miss affair at the best of times!
Here at Troy Autopoint we are committed to providing the highest possible standards of service at an affordable price.
Starting with a Motor Accessory shop in North Lane, Leeds in 1965, Troy Autopoint has evolved over the years and now has two fully equipped
Car Service Centres.
We all tend to take the reliability of modern motorcars for granted. Regular servicing however is vital in order to maintain not only
efficiency in terms of performance and fuel consumption, but also to help prevent excessive wear on vital (and possibly expensive!) components.
Having your car serviced at the recommended intervals will also help guard against the stress and inconvenience of a breakdown.
A properly maintained car will be less likely to give you an unpleasant surprise when the MOT test is due, and a full service history can
significantly enhance the second hand value of your car. Here at Troy Autopoint, we have two fully equipped Car Service Centres with experienced,
fully trained staff, capable of carrying out repairs on up to twelve vehicles simultaneously.
At Troy Autopoint, we have invested in the latest electronic diagnostic equipment to ensure that any problems with high technology engine
management systems on the latest cars can be speedily resolved. We also have an electronic database with full details of the manufacturer's
schedules for car servicing for over 20,000 different models!
Under EEC consumer legislation it is no longer necessary to have your new car serviced by the franchised dealers in order to maintain your
warranty.**
Small jobs can often be carried out on a while you wait basis whilst customers relax in our modern air-conditioned waiting areas.
In addition to our busy car servicing facility, we have built up a reputation as a leading supplier of car tyres in the Leeds area. With
stock of more than 1500 tyres on the shelf and ready to fit, we aim to keep you on the road with the minimum of delay and at prices that
big national companies just cannot match!
Our MOT testing service is another increasingly popular part of our business. We offer a fast, efficient service at a discounted price
