At Nationwide Auto Service Centre, we understand that a reliable air conditioning system in your car is essential, especially when the temperature rises. Our West Gosford workshop should be your first choice to manage all your Automotive Air Conditioning Regas, Inspection, Repairs and Servicing needs.

You might notice your car's air conditioning system isn’t working as it should if it's blowing warm air, has weak airflow, or is making strange noises. Bad odours coming from the vents or water pooling inside the cabin are also red flags that something’s not right. These problems can be due to a variety of reasons like refrigerant leaks, a clogged filter, or a failing compressor. 

Common Problems and Signs of a Failing Air Conditioner

Todays cars are extremely complex and just like the engine a typical car air conditioning system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Reduction of refrigerant through leaks or evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is being burned.

Therefore it is important that the rubber seals are evaluated regularly for any signs of leaks or fractures which may be an indication of refrigerant loss.

Here at Nationwide Auto Service Centre we go above and beyond to care for your vehicle. Clean Car - Healthy Family!

Did you know that research published in the respected Environmental Health Perspectives Journal has shown that the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside, without an effective cabin air filter installed?

These contaminants can cause headaches, nausea and fatigue, and trigger more significant health issues for people with asthma or respiratory issues.

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone," explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb.

Some families might feel like "mum and dad's taxi service" is always working and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. This means your family could be driving around with a cabin filter like this;

Clearly the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. Would you want to breathe the air that has passed through all this, what little is able to get through that is. Nationwide Auto Service Centre recommends replacing your cabin air filter every 12 months or 15,000km.

Below are two photos, one is a very blocked and dirty cabin filter out of a customers vehicle that has been serviced elsewhere. The other is a photo of a brand new Ryco cabin filter such as the one we can fit to your vehicle. It is easy to see the difference!

Nationwide Auto Service Centre only use quality parts such as Ryco Cabin Filters in any service so you can be sure they will be up to the job.

Automotive fluids are important because every vehicle needs a range of fluids to keep it running smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

Prior to checking any automotive fluids, make sure your car is switched off, cooled down and in a safe area with no traffic.

Engine oil is probably the most well-known of all automotive fluids. Engine oil is vital for lubricating the engine's moving parts and preventing them from grinding against each other. It also helps to regulate the engine's temperature. 

To check the oil levels, you should locate the dipstick and remove it before wiping it clean and then reinserting it. You can then remove it once more and check the oil level against the markers on the dipstick. Look out for low or dirty oil levels, which can lead to engine damage.

Transmission fluid helps to keep the gears of the car's transmission system moving smoothly. If the transmission fluid level is low or dirty, you may experience transmission slipping or harsh shifting. 

To check the fluid level, locate the dipstick, remove it, and wipe it clean before reinserting it. After pulling it out again, you can check the level and quality of the fluid against the dipstick markers.

Coolant is vital for regulating the car's temperature and preventing overheating. Coolant also protects against rust and corrosion in the engine's cooling system. 

To check the coolant level, locate the coolant reservoir and look for the 'full' and 'low' markers. You should also inspect the colour and consistency of the fluid - if it looks dirty or rusty, it may need to be replaced.

Brake fluid is another important automotive fluid, which helps to create hydraulic pressure in the brake system to stop the car when the brakes are applied. Low brake fluid levels can lead to brake failure, so it's important to check regularly. 

To check the levels, locate the brake fluid reservoir and check against the markers. If the fluid level is low, you may need to have the brakes checked for leaks.

Power steering fluid is necessary for the car's power steering system to operate correctly. It helps to reduce the amount of force needed to turn the steering wheel, making the car easier to control. 

To check the levels, locate the power steering reservoir and check against the markers.

Regular checks of all of these fluids are vital for ensuring the longevity and safety of your vehicle. Nationwide Auto Service Centre in West Gosford offer regular servicing, including fluid checks, to ensure that your car stays in top condition. We use only the best fluids, meaning that you can have confidence in your vehicle's safety and longevity.

With Nationwide Auto Service Centre, you can enjoy the reassurance of a Nationwide Warranty that comes from being part of the Repco Authorised Service, Australia's most extensive network of independent car service workshops.
