Servicing03More than MOTs
Specialist work that sets Allen & Hall apart

ACAir conditioning
Air conditioning & anti-bacterial treatment
Cooling gone weak, or a musty smell when you turn it on? Allen & Hall recharge air conditioning systems and clear out the bacteria and mould behind the odour — for cars, vans and commercial vehicles.
Air conditioning recharge
A drop in cooling usually means the system has lost refrigerant. A recharge gets it back to working properly — done by certified technicians using the latest equipment.
- Full air conditioning system inspection and diagnostics
- Improved cabin cooling and air quality for comfort
- Helps reduce strain on the engine and improves fuel economy
- Most manufacturers recommend an air-con service every two years
Anti-bacterial treatment
Bacteria, mould and fungi build up inside the air-con system over time — the source of that musty smell when you switch it on. An anti-bacterial treatment clears it out.
- Eliminates harmful bacteria, mould and fungi from the system
- Neutralises unpleasant odours caused by microbial build-up
- Improves in-car air quality for a healthier drive
- Helps reduce allergy and respiratory irritation for passengers
Recommended alongside any air conditioning work — ask when you book.
