Col Harrison Automotive (AU10851) can perform all your Automotive Air Conditioner Regas, Repairs, Inspection or Servicing needs in West Ryde and the surrounding areas.

Modern cars are complex and just like the engine your vehicle's air conditioner system has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Leaking refrigerant or low refrigerant due to evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which means you burn more fuel.

Therefore it is important to study the condition of the rubber seals at regular intervals for any signs of leaks or fractures which could indicate a loss of refrigerant.

A yearly car air conditioning service means you can assist prevention of costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it reduces your overall fuel usage.

Col Harrison Automotive care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU10851) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning regas, repairs, inspection or servicing.

There should never be a rumbling, groaning or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless of course you are driving over corrugated roads!). 

Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings can be very dangerous as they do have the potential of collapse, causing the wheel to detach from the car.

 If left unchecked they can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, will impact your control and stopping power and cause excessive noise and vibration in the car, leading to a far less comfortable driving experience. 

For emergency repairs or regular maintenance of your wheel bearings, visit Col Harrison Automotive in West Ryde today.

A Col Harrison Automotive Wheel Bearing Service may include any of the following (where applicable); 

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings 

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle should operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings or lubrication is not sufficient, friction will begin to build up and the drive is no longer as smooth as it should be.

 Friction can create excessive heat and over time can actually break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Symptoms of wheel bearing problems may include;

Pulling of the car to one side or the other 

Col Harrison Automotive mechanics can give you peace of mind by advising you on what is causing excessive noise or vibrations in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our skilled mechanics if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms which could be a sign of; 

A damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings 

Lack of lubrication in the wheel bearings

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Col Harrison Automotive in West Ryde today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"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. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Col Harrison Automotive in West Ryde we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.
