Keep Your Cool — Even in the Cold

Why You Should Still Service Your Car’s Air Conditioning in Winter

When the weather cools down in Kelmscott, most people stop thinking about their car’s air conditioning. But here’s the catch: winter is actually one of the best times to give your vehicle’s air con system the attention it deserves.

At Autofix Mechanical Repairs, we offer specialised winter air conditioning servicing to keep your system in top condition all year round—because it’s not just about staying cool in summer.

Why You Should Still Service Your Car’s Air Conditioning in Winter

Why Service Your Air Conditioning in Winter?

1. Clearer Windscreens, Safer Driving

Your air conditioning system doesn’t just cool—it also plays a crucial role in demisting your windscreen. In chilly, damp conditions, a functioning air con system quickly clears fog from windows, keeping your view unobstructed and your drive safer.

2. Prevent Moisture and Mould Buildup

When left idle for months, air conditioning systems can accumulate moisture, leading to mould, odours, and even bacterial growth in the vents. Regular use and servicing during winter helps avoid unpleasant smells and potential health concerns.

3. Avoid Costly Repairs Before Summer

Winter is the perfect time to catch small issues before they become major problems. A low refrigerant level, cracked hose, or faulty compressor might not be obvious until that first 35-degree day hits. Beat the summer rush and book early.
